		<description>That means 135 republicans told him to get lost  (112 no votes, the rest &quot;present&quot;).  Ouch.</description>

		<description>He loses the third vote by more than the first two, and now in a GOP secret ballot conference vote he is dumped.  

Can we get a round of applause!?</description>

		<description>This morning Jordan cancelled the third vote, said he wanted a vote to empower McHenry.  A big chunk of the GOP conference shot it down.  We&#039;re at a standstill.  Jordan may call a third vote now but will likely lose by even more.  Those opposed to him don&#039;t want anything for their votes.  They just are adamant about not supporting Jordan.  

The fun continues.  Pass the popcorn.</description>

		<description>He flipped two votes to his side but lost four.  Losing more than the first vote is a stake in the heart for this blood sucking bastard.  Even more GOP members are likely to NOT support Jordan if there is a third or especially a fourth vote.</description>

		<description>But odds are he&#039;s gone tomorrow.  Keep your fingers crossed.  

The coach who turned a blind eye to sexual abuse.  A man who has never passed a single Bill in 16 years in Congress. A guy John Boehner labelled a legislative terrorist.  Boehner had never seen anyone who was so focused only on tearing things down and never building anything.  Jordan has voted for every shutdown, every debt ceiling default.  He views Democrats not as opponents who disagree, but as evil spawn.  He was deeply involved in Trump&#039;s attempts to overturn the election and stay in power.  He has led the charge for impeaching Joe Biden for High Crimes unknown. Making him Speaker would be sheer madness and a prescription for permanent chaos in the government.</description>

		<description>The man&#039;s a thug and a bully.

And have you noticed how many people like this come from a background of &quot;working with youth&quot;?</description>

		<description>Cubans are a subborn bunch I&#039;ve noticed lol

&lt;blockquote&gt;Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-Fla.), who voted for McCarthy over Jordan, told reporters that he thought McCarthy needed to “get another shot” at the speakership. He also blamed Jordan’s hardball methods for costing him votes.  “His tactics certainly didn’t work on me,” Gimenez said. “Actually, I became more cemented in my position. … He should have probably left me to my own devices to get there. Now by being threatened, by being pushed — I’m Hispanic. I’m a Cuban. You just don’t do that to us.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/10/17/house-speaker-vote-jim-jordan/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jordan&#039;s smear tactics backfired bigtime and his Speakership bid is practically dead.&lt;/a&gt;  </description>

		<description>That&#039;s why it was quickly postponed until Wednesday.  Apparently the warring GOP camps are getting more pissed off, and Jordan would have gotten more no votes the second time around. 

GOOD NEWS!</description>
