“Nancy Pelosi just sits back, laughing.”

 Emptywheel:

Massie: “We know who will be coming over to Jordan’s side on the next round. What we don't know is who might go the other way"

Laughing her ass off:

Jordan is probably done," reports Punchbowl News Wednesday morning, adding it "doesn’t look like" the far-right Republican will get the speaker's gavel. 

It could get worse for Jordan if he pushes through Wednesday's slated vote. 

"Jordan’s GOP opponents huddled after the House session Tuesday, and nearly all of them said they were holding firm against the Ohio Republican. Senior GOP lawmakers predicted that Jordan could lose an additional 10 or more Republicans today on the floor," Punchbowl News reports, adding, "after speaking with dozens of members and aides, it doesn’t look to us like the Ohio Republican has any path to victory."

Not just Punchbowl sez so:

CNN's Manu Raju reports a "GOP House member opposed to Jim Jordan told me opposition to his candidacy will grow, especially if it goes to a third round — potentially 25 Rs voting against him." 

“'The opposition is organized. We’re in tight comms, unified, and growing,' the member said."

And yet they’re going ahead with the vote this morning. It’s like doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. Isn’t that considered the definition of something?
