More than 100 conservative leaders sign letter urging Jim Jordan to run for speaker
by Philip Wegmann
 | May 21, 2018 02:20 PM

The effort to draft Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to run for speaker of the House continues.

More than 100 conservative leaders have signed a letter calling on the Freedom Caucus founder to make a run for the speaker’s gavel. Grass-roots heavyweights like Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots and Ed Meese of the Heritage Foundation are backing the move to rid the party of what they describe as “wishy-washy, double dealing” among top GOP brass.

"There must be a real race for Speaker of the House. Now. No backroom deals. A real race, starting this spring, to make every incumbent and candidate commit on the record, as a campaign issue, whether they’ll vote to save the Swamp or drain it,” the letter reads.

More than the usual posturing, the letter has merited urgency. It comes as rumors swirl that Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is trying to push Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., out of the speaker’s office early. According to one Weekly Standard report, that plan is being entertained openly in some circles and has even reached the desk of President Trump.

Well, I would love to think that Jordan really has a chance, I would venture to bet that Ryan's replacement has already been decided.

Of course the swamp dwellers have a chosen candidate.  That's why doing this kind of stuff is important.

Of these 100 "conservative leaders", how many sold their souls to jump on the Trump Train?
