    Turns out whipping your supporters into murderous, spittle-blasting psychopaths who threaten the wives of your colleagues isn’t a great way to make friends and influence people.

    WHO FUCKING KNEW?!

    Jim Jordan said at a press conference: “The American people are hungry for change.”

    It’s an interesting statement from a man who has never actually tried to change anything.

    When he was at Ohio State, when students repeatedly came to him with allegations of sexual abuse, he did nothing. He changed nothing. He allowed the abuse to continue.

    He’s been in the US House of Representatives for 16 years, and not once has he been the primary sponsor of any bill that was signed into law. He’s changed nothing in 16 years. It’s an unbelievable record of incompetence.

    Jim Jordan is the poster boy for doing nothing, so why would anybody look to him if they want to make changes?

    I expect a last minute ultra-moderate candidate that will win with moderate R and D votes. The right wingers are going to find themselves frozen out of everything.

    Let me dream.

    I really hope they keep holding votes and Jim Gym keeps loosing support. He deserves to be scorned, ridiculed, tried, judged and sentenced like the disgusting foul human sludge that he is.

    Good thing there’s nothing important going on in America or in the world that requires the attention of the House of Representatives! /s
