Jordan honestly makes me wonder how he ties his shoes in the morning sometimes. Scalise doesn't strike me as a moron, though he's also been considerably lower profile than Jordan. And Scalise seems to have some basic organizational competence.

So... at least somewhat smarter, potentially more competent, and a hair less committed to the stupidity and more self-serving. I give it the war/pandemic test, I'll take the guy who might actually find a way to be useful over the guy who we know will basically pick the dumbest decision at every branch of the decision tree.

Don't forget that it was Scalise's brilliant whip counting that got McCarthy into lots of trouble. He's not that sharp a tool either.

For a job that does actually matter I'll take dumb over dumber.
