Bobo is hurting for cash, but will she be lacking in votes? Apparently, a majority of voters in her district lack a sense of shame or any common sense.

...his reputation has changed over time. He has become part of the solution... 
Crenshaw defends Jordan’s attempt to overturn 2020 election: ‘A lot of them did that’
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) defended Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-Ohio) attempt to overturn the 2020 election, pointing to other Republicans who attempted to do the same.
CNN’s Jake Tapper pointed out that Jordan was one of the many Republicans who voted to overturn the 2020 election results, but Crenshaw said that wouldn’t stop him from supporting him. The Texas Republican was not one of the 139 House Republicans at the time who objected to the certification of the election results.
“But a lot of them did that. If I held that grudge, I wouldn’t have friends in the Republican Conference, because a lot of them did that,” Crenshaw said on “State of the Union.”
Tapper conceded that Crenshaw made “an excellent point,” laughing as he suggested he would have issues with two-thirds of the conference over their opposition to certifying the election results. Crenshaw said that he “was on an island there” when discussing who voted to certify the results.
Crenshaw also reiterated his support for Jordan, saying that “there’s a reason” he backs him for Speaker.
“And what I would remind a lot of the members who are against Jordan, because — because his reputation precedes him, but his reputation has changed over time. He has become part of the solution, not part of the problem. He has long since been part of the solution,” he said.
Some critics have voiced opposition to Jordan’s potential Speakership after he clinched the nomination by the GOP conference last week. Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said she was concerned with Jordan’s close ties with former President Trump and his involvement in the efforts to keep Trump in power after he lost the 2020 election.
“Jim Jordan was involved in Trump’s conspiracy to steal the election and seize power,” she wrote in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “He urged that [former Vice President Mike Pence] refuse to count lawful electoral votes.”

Crenshaw says its going to be ‘really, really difficult’ for Jordan to get the votes to be Speaker
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) predicted on Sunday that it will be “really, really difficult” for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to get the votes to be elected Speaker.
“Nothing’s impossible, but it’s going to be really, really difficult, based on what I’m hearing,” Crenshaw said, when asked on CNN’s “State of the Union” whether he thinks Jordan, the GOP nominee for Speaker, could get the majority of the votes in the full House chamber to get elected Speaker.
“I don’t have a good read on what every single member is thinking,” Crenshaw continued. “As you said, there’s a lot of different reasons with different members. It’s impossible for any member of our conference to get 217 true believers, 217 people who truly think you’re the best, right?”
Jordan was selected on Friday to be the GOP nominee for Speaker, but in such a narrowly divided chamber, Jordan can only lose four Republican votes to get elected – if members vote along party lines and there are no additional absences or “present” votes.
Crenshaw, who said he supports Jordan’s candidacy, warned Jordan allies against mounting a public pressure campaign against those who have said they oppose Jordan.
“What I would really recommend to Jordan’s allies too is that a lot of them have mounted this — this high-pressure campaign. They’re going to whip up Twitter against the people who are against Jordan. That is the dumbest way to support Jordan,” Crenshaw said.
“I’m supporting Jordan. I’m going to vote for Jordan,” he added. “And as somebody who wants Jim Jordan, the dumbest thing you can do is to continue pissing off those people and entrench them.”
The House has been without a Speaker since eight Republican members voted with Democrats to oust former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) nearly two weeks ago. Jordan was nominated after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-Calif.) withdrew from the race after it became clear he couldn’t get the necessary number of votes to win support from the majority of the House, despite winning the GOP nomination.

Photoshop him with a nice proper ball gag, a dirty sock will never do for an ex-president! With any luck we might see Donald in Georgia on TV tied to his chair with such a ball gag in his gob, a federal prisoner freaking out at the witnesses who are testifying against him. All on national TV and recorded for posterity where it will live on the internet, sīc semper tyrannīs!

Sometimes these YouTube interviews with magats remind me of 18th century Bedlam, where they used to give the public tours, so they could be amused at the antics of the mentally ill chained to the walls of their cells! Such video could be used as evidence in the future to lock them up for their own good, where are the guys in white suits with butterfly nets when you need them, rich pickings outside any Trump rally.

CNN anchor incredulous after GOP rep blames Speaker chaos on Biden
CNN anchor Boris Sanchez fired back at Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) in a Monday interview after the House Republican suggested President Biden was to blame for the chaos in the House around electing a new Speaker.
“Well, the chaos today is because of the weakness in the Biden administration,” Self said, responding to a question about how he thinks authoritarian leaders perceive Congress’s inability to elect a Speaker.
“How?! It’s your party,” Sanchez responded, cutting Self off. “It’s members of your party that ousted Kevin McCarthy.”
Self continued, citing unrelated issues Biden has dealt with during his presidency that Self suggested demonstrated Biden’s “weakness.”
“The southern border is absolutely in chaos. The inflation that is—,” he said, before he was cut off again.
“Congressman,” Sanchez said, “Respectfully, the reason the House doesn’t have a Speaker is not because of Joe Biden. It’s because of members of your party. That’s why the House doesn’t have a Speaker.”
The House has been without a Speaker for nearly two weeks, since eight Republicans voted with all Democrats to oust the former Republican Speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) from his post. Since then, Republicans have struggled to put forward a candidate that could get the necessary votes to get elected on the House floor.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was nominated by the House Republican conference on Friday. While he first appeared to be well short of the necessary number of votes to win a majority of the full House, several members who initially opposed his nomination have since come out in support of his candidacy.
“Look, democracy is messy,” Self said. “We’re going to get through this. We’re going to have a new leadership in the House of Representatives. And then we’re going to lead to the victory in 2024 of a Republican president, hopefully a Republican Senate, and we’re going to change some of these policies that we see today.”

Steve Schmidt explains why Jim Jordan is "unfit" to be Speaker of the House | The Warning
26,754 views Oct 16, 2023 The Warning
Steve Schmidt breaks down the complete and total dysfunction among the Republican members of the House of Representatives and how their inability to govern will only increase if they move forward with plans to make Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio the next Speaker of the House. Steve explains how Jordan's complicity in trying to overturn the 2020 election in favor of Donald Trump and his petulant style of governing make him completely unfit to be second in the line of presidential succession. Steve goes on to talk about how Fox News' biggest names like Sean Hannity, have become the Republican conference themselves, even going as far as to pressure GOP holdouts to vote for Jordan.
