Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Wednesday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) should withdraw from the speaker race because he will not get the votes.
Anchor Jake Tapper said, “In fact, Jordan is doing worse than he did yesterday. He had fewer votes than he did yesterday. A spokesman for Jordan said he’s not dropping out. We’re going to “keep going.” Do you see Jordan getting to 217 any time soon, or do you think he will keep doing worse and worse?”
Bacon said, “I believe he’s done. He needs to withdraw from this. He’s going to lose more votes tomorrow. I know it.

No sense abiding by the wishes of the (Conservative) Republican constituency.

Those that keep voting against Jordan are going to lose a lot of votes as well.

The only thing I have seen come out of this group of Republicans is stupidity. You have lost me. I will be registering as an Independent. The longer you go the more support you will lose. And any democrat or independent who had thought of voting for you will pull back. They might decide not to vote for FJB and the Clown Administration but if he looks across the aisle they will see the same thing. A bunch of egotistical boobs who couldn't find their butts with both hands. My God, what are they thinking? As bad as FJB appears you are not looking much better. Younger, yes, but no better.

Sounds like Rep Bacon has been around for a little too long and some fat that needs to be trimmed from the Republican Party. Who does he propose take the Speaker job? Scalise dropped out. Republicans like Bacon are using impossible to meet "principles" to select the next Speaker. Nobody will be good enough. Instead, people like Bacon will choose a compromise candidate who Democrats will accept and throw all of their principles out the window.

Jordan should stay in the race. The House can elect Jordan for Speaker, or got without one, and stay shut down. As far as the American people are concerned, the shutdown is a great benefit.

Well it took 15 votes for McCarthy to win. Why stop so soon on Jordan, Bacon?

Democrats have the wonderful tendency of sticking together as they, and their country, go over the cliff. Too many Republican “leaders” have the unfortunate tendency to cover their individual behind regardless. Their illusion of “power” helps them do it.

I am so sick of the these self serving, egotistical, smarter than any of us, pompous, ignorant dolts telling me what I need to believe in because they do. No. Done with all of them. This guy bloviates about his career as a brigadier general whose specialty was intelligence yet seems clueless and reticent about recents events. Perhaps he bets on the other team, yet another way to make money (wink,wink). Elect Jim Jorden 1.0!

Essentially out in Nebraska because he voted against the conservative Republican Jim Jordan for Speaker, old Bacon bits may be finished as far as his reelection goes! The way it has been going with the wimpy “Stupid” Party, don’t be surprised if Bacon does not support Hakeem Jefferies, a Democrat socialist from NY for Speaker.

Not $1 for the congressional republicans. I won’t donate to any of them, this is a national embarrassment. The Dems work lock step for scum like Pelosi and Hakim Jeffries, out of fear. Our side is in a circular firing squad over feelings? Grow a pair gentlemen and get this done Thursday.

I would be interested in hearing what Matt Gaetz has to say about Republicans unable to select a speaker. I may have missed it but as he is a notorious blow hard I find his silence over the mess he caused rather puzzling. Perhaps the victory cigar he gave himself after ousting McCarthy blew up in his face.

One of the RINO pukes that voted against him, trying to prevent more attempts, no doubt.

Last week, some were called RINOs if they wanted Jordan. This week, they’re RINOs if they don’t want Jordan. And next week? Who knows? I’m getting “RINO” whiplash.

# 7 Democrats stick together because they are ruled by terror tactics, so that not walking in lock step with the Dem leadership will get their ire. You'll be shunned, not get their money, and be primaried against;

Bacon is so unpredictable he will probably vote for Jeffries!

"Mike Kelly, our Representative, a HAMAS supporting treasonous Asshat, was obviously bought off by Gates or Soros,"
I look forward to reading that Headline in the Pittsburgh Newspapers. It might actually be true!

#12, Put a cork in it! We get it. You hate Gaetz. However, he is the guy trying to change things for the better. McCarthy made a deal and reneged! He lied. He took himself out! He had ample opportunities to keep his promises. HE chose not to. Get it? It is not the fault of Gaetz but the fault of the Rinos that refuse to listen to their constituents. We are tired of their out of control spending, endless wars, and broken promises. We watch as the country circles the drain and then when someone has a viable plan for making good changes, he breaks his word. It is not Gaetz’s doing, all McCarthy had to do is keep his word and he could not manage even that. Americans are done with Rinos. They are worthless ego-centric elites who believe the people they represent are fools. Enough. Do not relent. Defeat these Rinos on this matter and the people will take care of removing them from office.

This fiasco is an example of why I registered Independent after the stolen election. If a solicitation from the Repubs finds its way to my mailbox it is immediately File 13. The Republican Party after the stolen election reminded me of witnesses to a crime in the hood ...they dont want to get involved. Ole George Wallace was right , "there ain't a dimes worth of difference between em "

A thousand likes for #18. Old Don doesn’t realize that this will finish him off. Nebraskans are furious about this. He is a weak, stupid little man with a yuge chip on his shoulder. He has been wined and dined by the GOPe crowd and is now true blue RINO, through and through. He only gets re-elected because the dems keep putting up bona fide crazies against him. But, grassroots conservatism is growing by leaps and bounds in Nebraska and even Omaha, due to the draconian overreach of Covid policies, followed by an obvious stolen election. People are organizing and getting involved like never before here. It’s quite an amazing thing to see. I suspect NE is not the only state to experience this. Unfortunately for the RINOs, they don’t want to see it, and are not completely out of touch with the voters. They only listen to money. I wrote to Mr. Bacon this morning and “advised” him to get with the program. I have no doubt he will ignore me.

As a comment or two above displays, rinos are too rife in the republican ranks. Absolute poison, and the democommies will win every time, whether it be sooner or later because of this cancer.
