If he gets 217 votes! He doesn't need to keep running. Stop the media from asking stupid questions.

[daisydukes]

Love how he answered these questions, he doesn’t let them push him around.

[estherfeldhacker]

He answered the question! Is this a CNN reporter?

[junkpuncher]

Looking out for the reporter so he didn't get hurt... that's a good man

The guy who has passed zero laws in 16 years on the job as a lawmaker wants to be the head of lawmakers. Gym was Peter principal when he got to the hill day one and has never respected the office enough to buy a suit jacket

I think Gym Jordan has at least 217 more new Ohio State abuse lawsuits to testify in.
