Give someone like Jim Jordan ALL the power.  Go ahead Jim...you're in charge.  Do something.

And when he falls apart under the pressure or nothing gets done at all the Democrats run on his ineffectiveness.  

Just a thought.

All I can do is infer that some 96% of the house republicans wanting McCarthy in the first place and wanting to keep McCarthy indicates that only the safest of house republicans are sure they going to benefit from the social media-driven chaos and in fighting that is taking place.

If the vast majority of house republicans didn't want this to happen, I don't see how we can automatically assume it happening is a slam dunk win for the GOP.


Also, Jim Jordan spoke in support of McCarthy before this ousting, so unless he's a double agent I assume he isn't loyal enough for Matt Gaetz.
