Jim Jordan

Before I form any view of Jim Jordan the politician, I am struck by Jim Jordan the wrestler: a two-time NCAA national champion who later coached the sport. That background tells you a great deal about the man. The relentlessness, the physical aggression and the refusal to yield that defined him on the mat seem to carry directly onto the House floor, jacket off and shirtsleeves rolled. He is undeniably a polarising figure, but whatever one makes of his positions, the sheer tenacity is real. For better or worse, he governs the way a wrestler competes, and that consistency is hard to ignore.
