How is one swampy establishment republican better than the other

Should we email our wishlist of funding requests that we expect him to rubberstamp for his district?

Doesn't look he is speaker...
WASHINGTON — House Republicans made a major step towards electing a new speaker on Wednesday, formally nominating as a conference House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La.
In an internal secret ballot vote, Scalise beat out his primary rival, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, by a vote of 113-99, according to Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif.
The conference vote however, is just a sign of approval from House Republicans at large. The House still has to formally elect a new speaker on the House floor, and lawmakers are still free to nominate other candidates.
Scalise’s nomination, however, is a major boost for the Louisiana Republican, who is currently the No. 2 ranking House Republican.

Nominee. Not speaker. The confidence at which people post inaccurate shite on here never ceases to amaze me.

Disappointing but whatever. Trump would've been way more entertaining however in reality nothing is going to change until the entire system collapses anyway.

Doesn't Scalise have cancer? He looked pretty rough in an interview on Fox the other day.
I wish him a speedy recovery, but these people that put politics above your own health and family are not the ones we want in Washington.

I stand corrected. He's the Rep nominee.

In most normal times... the full House vote would be just a formality and he'd be the House Speaker
What will he do to get the 99 who voted Jordan to back him on the House Floor?
