It was clear with Jordan going to vote the GOP was banging their heads against a proverbial wall, not sure I'm hearing that for this guy yet.
I think this guy gets through and Matt Gaetz wins thanks to the GOP and thanks to keeping anyone who wasn't MAGA off the floor vote. Just my 2 cents.
I am actually more concerned about Johnson because he knows more about what he is doing than Jordan does. But, he is more of an ideologue than Jordan, just not as annoying about it.
If you are an actual conservative Republican, the ones the MAGA crowd calls RINOS, then Johnson is just a continuation down a dangerous path for the party. The silence from them on this can mean one of four things. One, they will vote for someone else, like Emmer, and just continue the battle without much of a fuss. Two, they reveal they have been coordinating with Democrats and join the vote for Jeffries. A highly unlikely but still possible scenario. Three, they have decided to vote "present" and are just tired of the fight but cannot bring themselves to vote for this person. Or four, they have been whipped into submission out of fear of being primaried.
I have no clue which one it will be.
