From today’s NY Times (well said by Michelle Cottle):

Mr. Jordan clearly fancies himself more of a Trumpian strongman. He has never been a leader or a serious legislator but is, rather, a career pugilist who seems developmentally stuck in his glory days as a high school and college wrestler. When nominating him on the House floor Tuesday, Elise Stefanik (one of the more painful cautionary tales about the corrosiveness of Trumpism) felt compelled to cite his mad skills “on the wrestling mat.”

The pugnacious pugilist’s entire brand is being a brazen bully who can never be pinned down, who is not afraid to stutter, tap dance and angrily defy when he finds himself in a tight corner (like answering questions about his involvement in the boss’s plan to keep himself in power illegally). Sounds like the ideal candidate to broker political deals and make the hard calls about where to compromise and where to fight to the death, no? The main thing, of course, is that the little bastard simply cannot be pinned down.
