My summary of Tom Cole's endorsement speech of Jim Jordan: "for Republicans it should be easy to vote for my friend Jim Jordan: he's an asshole like all of us. Let me explain you:"

«W/ #KevinMcCarthy out as #Speaker, #HouseRules Chair #TomCole says #Republicans r free 2 step back frm deep appropriations cuts dictated by McCarthy’s backroom deal w/ #FarRight in June.
“This agreement was faulty frm beginning. It’s changed over time, & now in a sense, it doesn’t exist bcuz McCarthy isn’t speaker anymore,” Cole said in interview. “So we’re not really bound by this agreement now. That will be an interesting thing new speakr will have 2 hash out.”»

"That's really off the table," said Rep. #TomCole, R-Okla., who has built a reputation as an institutionalist over the years. "I don't think anybody voted to do that. I don’t think that works very well in any time. I think it's particularly unsuited to these times. The polarization is too great."
#GOP are nothing if not obstructionists.
