Jim Jordan’s Daily Devotion and Fealty to Trump Fails Hilariously: ‘Miss Me Yet?’

By

Ohio’s Senator Rob Portman is retiring and will not run in 2022. That leaves an open seat – a Republican one, up for grabs among the current crop of Republicans, which means MAGAs, which means Trump gets to pick the winner by simply endorsing one of the candidates. Some of the candidates recently went down to Mar-a-Lago to pay homage to the king, Politico referred to it as “Hunger Games” politics, where the candidates try to slay each other in front of the judges. May the odds be ever in your favor, said Trump, not once ever.

As Yahoo News describes the action:

What ensued was a 15-minute backroom backbiting session reminiscent of Trump’s reality TV show. Mandel said he was “crushing” Timken in polling. Timken touted her support on the ground thanks to her time as state party chair. Gibbons mentioned how he’d helped Trump’s campaign financially. Moreno noted that his daughter had worked on Trump’s 2020 campaign.

The scene illustrated what has become a central dynamic in the nascent 2022 race. In virtually every Republican primary, candidates are jockeying, auditioning and fighting for the former president’s backing. Trump has received overtures from a multitude of candidates desperate for his endorsement, something that top Republicans say gives him all-encompassing power to make-or-break the outcome of primaries.

Jim Jordan has not announced that he wants the seat. But those in the know think that he very much wants that seat.

Now, Jim Jordan wasn’t down in Mar-a-Lago, but he doesn’t need to make a stupid trip! Gym needs only to keep impressing Trump as he has before, grovel better than everyone else and prove himself in action. Thus, Jordan doesn’t need to lower himself by a trip to Florida. But he does need to remind people, and Trump, that he’s been there for the guy all along. Hence, this shameless act of homage:

No, not really. And Jim? Isn’t that a question that Trump is supposed to ask? Not you! Wow, is Gym “all-in” on Trump love?

Our answer was more polite than most:

Yep, one termers are not the norm. You have to really screw-up to lose going for a second term.

But Jim might want that nomination. He wants to keep it open, that’s for sure.

Peace, y’all
