Title: Jim Jordan Announces He Will Run for House Republican Leader
Post by: Solar on November 08, 2018, 06:26:33 AM
YES!!! :thumbsup:

"I plan to run for minority leader," Jordan told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton on "Rising."

"In 2016, the American people elected Republicans to come here and change this town. I think the president is doing just that, but I don't think they see the same intensity from folks in Congress, folks in the House of Representatives," he continued.

Jordan went on to slam current GOP leadership in the House, saying they were not willing to engage in debate with Democrats.

"Now that we're in the minority, that's about all what we can do is debate, but fight hard in the debate for the principles, for the things that we know the American people sent us here to do in 2016. Show them that we deserve to be back in power in 2020," he said.

Earlier this year, Jordan, the co-founder of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, announced his bid to replace Speaker Paul Ryan after the Wisconsin Republican announced his retirement.

I couldn't be happier. I can't think f one individual better suited for the job. The left and RINO will attack him relentlessly, but he's not one to back down from a fight when it comes to Conservative values.

Glad to see this. If should beat McCarthy for the position it will be clear GOPe has been ousted. It would not be lost on McConnell.

Excellent point. And, that's how change-- meaningful change-- will happen in the DC cesspit.
