After talking with Congressman last night who have been whipping votes for Jim Jordan, they told me that if there would have been a second vote in caucus yesterday Jim Jordan would have won. That is why they didn’t have a second vote.
They then told me that Scalise does not have the Republican Votes to get to 217 in a Floor Vote on Wednesday. There are at least 11 Republicans who will NEVER vote for Scalise. They then told me that the Democrats hate both Scalise and Jordan and WILL NOT bail out Scalise. They want the Republicans to fight it out.
Now, in a Twist, Jim Jordan is going to nominate Scalise today for the first vote and Scalise is not going to get to 217. Then Jordan will be nominated and will eventually win after many votes. Jordan is nominating Scalise because he is trying to show he is a “team player”, which I kind of understand but really don’t agree with, but then he can “humbly” and reluctantly accept the nomination once Scalise has the first shot.
Will it play out like this? Who knows. I just have no doubt, and have assurances, that at least 10 Republicans will NOT Vote for Scalise and that makes it all possible.
