The opposition is nearing single digits at this point and establishment and moderate Republicans are proving just how meaningless those two descriptors have always been when applied to them. They are proving that the GOP ethos is absolutely clear: party—the MAGA party—over country. The assumption is that Jordan is promising them something, and that he will be able to deliver that something better than anyone else could. Yes, the same Jordan that former Speaker John Boehner called a “legislative terrorist.” The same Jordan who tried to overturn the 2020 election. The one who was on the phone with Donald Trump the morning of Jan. 6, 2021—mere hours before the MAGA mob attacked the Capitol, invaded their chamber, and threatened every member of Congress’s health and lives.

'Moderate' House Republicans folding like cheap tents for insurrectionist Jordan's speaker bid

There is no such thing as a “moderate” Republican.

Tim Miller at The Bulwark shows that there is no such such thing as a "moderate" Republican in the US House of Representatives.

The caucus, as of early Tuesday, is falling in line behind MAGA extremist Gym Jordan.

As Tim explains, it would take only 5 Republicans to vote against Jordan out of the 221 in the House. That's just 2.27% of House Republicans.

It's helpful to know that 18 House Republicans represent districts carried by Joe Biden. They need to be more afraid of being defeated in 2024 than they are of a weasel like Gym Jordan.

If you are represented by one of these 18, contact their offices in Washington (before 10 AM EDT Tuesday) and let them know you'll work and donate to defeat them if they vote to confirm a January 6th coup-plotter. Over a dozen are indeed from very blue states.

There are very few MAGA extremists worse than Gym Jordan in the House; I estimate they are in the high single digits.

In addition to those 18, if you have a GOP rep who's NOT a member of the "Freedom Caucus" it may be worth an attempt to poke their conscience if they haven't yet committed to Jordan.

EDIT: A group called the Republican Accountability Project released an anti-Jordan ad which few Democrats would probably disagree with.

BREAKING: In a 50-page lawsuit, Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg just sued Jim Jordan. The lawsuit, according to the New York Times, says Jordan initiated a “brazen and unconstitutional attack” on the prosecution of Trump and accuses Jordan of intimidation.

Jim Jordan thought he could bully Bragg, but instead he’s getting his ass handed to him.

Study Confirms That Jim Jordan Is Statistically The Worst Republican In Congress | Farron Balanced

According to the results of a new study, Republican Representative Jim Jordan is not only one of the least effective Republicans in Congress, but he's actually one of the least effective members of the body as a whole. Jordan is so unsuccessful at getting his legislation passed that fewer than a handful of other Republicans scored worse. This is proof that Jordan is an absolute disaster as a Representative, as Farron Cousins explains.

Not the Speaker

[porterdavis]

[corporationsarepeople]

“The speaker's job requires a very particular set of skills — an ability to build bipartisan coalitions, to work with one's adversaries, and to learn to accept half-victories — that would make it a particularly crummy job for Rep. Jim Jordan.”

Why would the author—or anyone for that matter—think any of that is what Republicans want to do?
