Those are the ones in purple and blue districts who have probably already had a lot of pressure to reject Jordan.
If they completely defected and changed their party affiliation it wouldn’t hurt them.
If they are in blue and/or purple districts then changing their party affiliation and voting with the Democrats will increase the likelihood of them returning to Congress in 2024. I would love to see this happen. Come over to the sane side, guys! We don't demand loyalty to an insane and criminal cult master here.
Biden is in his office, working. He has never stopped. Which is more than can be said for the House Republicans. Right now we have one branch of the government that is totally nonfunctional. This weakens the U.S. Don't think our enemies around the world aren't taking note of how dysfunctional our government is right now. All due to MAGAs.
I loathed the two-faced McCarthy but he would be better than Jordan, whose only goal is to disrupt.
Say what?
Ah! Satire! You had me going for a moment there. "Biden is in his office, working. He has never stopped". That one was obvious "all due to MAGAs" is what caught me. MAGA, the leftist boogeyman.
Those voting for Scalise are simply being spoilers. "I'm unhappy, so I'll ruin this round of voting." The old "Take my ball and go home" by the usual whiny brats.
I beg to differ
To vote for Jordan is to vote for an incompetent, polarizing, “Freedom” caucus spoiler that hasn’t accomplished much of value in his career as a congressman.
Members of the “Freedom” caucus have no principles left, are just demagogue obstructionists, and have too many nut jobs/worthless pos like Paul Gosar.
If the Congress wishes to clean up its act, they need to GOVERN: get things done for the benefit of the voters not a few corporations.
All it would take is for a half dozen of the purple republicans to vote Jeffries. The House goes back to work, and the tie breakers end up more popular than ever with the Folks Back Home.
This could happen.
Very unlikely. Although, still very unlikely, the potential way I see Jeffries getting in is if enough Republicans either don't vote or vote Present that it lowers the amount of votes needed to get the majority (there would need to be 10, assuming all Democrats vote). The flip side to that is, of course similar to how McCarthy was elected, it is also possible enough Republicans vote present to lower the threshold for Jordan (or anyone else) as well.

The crazy eights who are largely MAGA heads are responsible for the dysfunction, they think a small minority of voters should decide our fate. Jordan is a big Trump supporter, he thought he won the 2020 election, certainly a great choice for house leader.

No, it’s not satire. But the post is incomplete:
The SCOTUS is corrupt and politicized thanks to Mitch McConnell, the Federalist Society and Trump.
The US House of Representatives is a discredited mess since Newt Gingrich was speaker. So we’re talking decades of dysfunction. The GOP’ers only care about spending when a Democrat is in the WH. Spending and insecurity are OK when a Republican is in the WH: George W Bush and Donald Trump.
The only one who appears to be working is Joe Biden. The unemployment rate is low: that’s my number 1 metric.
The conflict in Israel? I think Trump asked Bibi Netanyahu about his wall and Bibi told too many “details” to Trump. Then Trump, who can’t hold water or keep his mouth shut to save his life, told his buddy Putin. Putin then told Iran and the Iranians told Hamas.
That’s the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Please get help. There are many resources available these days.
How sad a Democrat beating a republican in a speaker vote.
