I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach in 2016. An insurrectionist is going to be the House Speaker. I feel as though there’s been a death in the family.
OK, I share the unfortunate opinion that he will become speaker. But then what? Besides all of us being subjected to his horrible persona all over the media, I can’t imagine that he’s going to come off very well to the general public, and God knows they’re not going to pass anything.
I’m surprised Jordan isn’t already Speaker. He’s the quintessential Republican for today. The entire party is no more than one standard deviation from him in terms of temperament, vileness and stupidity. And that includes their voters. All of them.
And I say this knowing full well that include quite a number of people who were my friends.
I’ll counter your resignation with some positive energy and predict that Jordan will go down in defeat by some in the old guard who have no use for the sniveling little shit. I hope you’re wrong and I’m right on this one. But “who, then”, is a great question.
