If the femocrats had any real brains they ditch Jeffries andfind a somewhat relatively moderate dem from their party they could use to peel just 10 moderate Republicans to vote for.

Honestly there is a better chance of that happening than Republicans all agreeing on one person agreeing to the terms at this point.

Random nobody who nobody has heard of is the newest contender. This is a classic example of bait and switch.

Mike Johnson is the BEST congressman representing Louisiana!
I would suggest to you that Congressman Jordan is more at risk of being defeated in an election than Mr. Johnson.
Comments like yours are so representative of the Republican base acting like crabs in a basket.
I've voted for Trump twice and will do so again if he is the nominee and I will try to refrain from making stupid remarks about any elected Republican!

Mike has always scored near the top of every conservative index on his voting record. He's very bright and articulate.
He's very religious and doesn't hide his Christian beliefs. This makes him unpopular in D.C.

Mike has a good chance after Jordan drops out (doesn’t seem to want it and the scrutiny and can’t get 217 votes) and MJ can be a good bridge. As good a communicator as Newt Gingrich with the conservative chops (RSC) to craft and pass an agenda for America. I’d say his star is rising and Jordan+Scalise will endorse him next week.

I wouldn't be opposed to that but I don't think he'll get the support of the McCarthy/Graves/GOPe posse and enough votes to put him in the seat.

He’s a favorite feature on Maria Bartiromo and had a great Jordan Peterson interview in the past several months. He’s been groomed for national spotlight.

He’s the best/most-sensible option available for the GOPe and he knows how to play their game

Some of our reps look and sound like they just crawled out of the swamp or woods.

Johnson is probably one of the most articulate and intelligent members of Congress. Just STFU.

Those who think Mike is some kind of a nobody on the national stage are in for an awakening

I used to like Mike. He’s no different than the rest though.

Same. He talks the constitutionalist talk but takes little action. He seems sincere so I just believe he isn’t strong enough to buck the GOPe leadership.

Based on the fact that I’ve never heard of him, it’s hard to understand the hype.

When its not their person of color, the Dems can't be bothered. All of the sudden, skin color won't matter and he won't be qualified.

Thaaat’s why I’ve never heard of her. FNC losers move out of the way, open voting from here on out so we know which RINOs need to be primaried.

Exactly. Mike isn't as high profile as Jordan because he'd not as much of a bloviating grand stander as Jordan.

I know many these days prefer their politicians to be loud mouth morons who "Own" the other side, but I prefer competence and a touch of class.
