Jim Jordan didn't have to tap out of House speaker's bid. Thankfully his party did it for him

This column has been updated.

In the end, U.S. Rep Jim Jordan did not tap out of his race to be U.S. House speaker. His party pinned him to the mat.

The former Ohio State University wrestling coach clearly had not listened to the song "Cabinet Battle#1" from "Hamilton: The Musical."

If the Urbana Republican had, the lyric "You don't have the votes (you don't have the votes)" would have played in his head long before he decided to continue his sad and doomed from the start fight to win the House speaker's gavel recently snatched right out of Rep. Kevin McCarthy hands.

Perhaps if he had, he would have not once again embarrassed the heck out of other Ohioans.

Jordan lost 25 Republicans votes in the third round of voting early Friday. Democrats remained united behind Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York.

In a private GOP caucus vote after that floor vote, only 86 Republican stuck with Jordan. Another 112 voted to drop him.

Jordan is not done. We shall see what shenanigans he gets into next.
