Paul Ryan's favorability craters on the heels of the healthcare fiasco
Canada Free Press ^ | 04/19/17 | Robert Laurie

Failure to pass, or failure to craft a decent law?

Last month’s healthcare fiasco was, without question, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s baby. He fought for it, promoted it, inexplicably rushed it to the floor, did everything he could to corral reluctant legislators. Heck, there are reports that he was down on his knees begging congressmen to vote for it. It didn’t work. In the end, all he could do was looked on as it collapsed.

Now, according to Gallup, his favorability numbers have done the same.

The only poll that matters is the Primary Election in his home district. Hopefully they will finally get rid of him.

There was no repeal in his bill.
It was rearrange and repair of Obamacare.

Whatever happened to Mo Brook’s “Repeal only” bill?

Why didn’t the Liberty Caucus get behind it?

Could the rumor be TRUE that the Koch Brothers have instructed [paid?] their Liberty Caucus “puppets” to join Democrats in a “block-everything” strategy to achieve the Kochs’ ultimate goal: preventing the border wall from being built and thereby PRESERVE the cheap-labor-express that the Kochs’ so dearly love?

If we see the Liberty Caucus join with Pelosi to defeat Trump’s upcoming Tax Reform bill, we’ll KNOW the answer, won’t we?

He needs to resign as Speaker and follow lead of predecessors and resign from Congress. Maybe Trump can give him ambassadorship somewhere. Like Tahiti. Let him cominserate with Obama.

All RINO Ryan did for 8 YEARS was talk about his ‘Repeal and Replace’ ideas for 0bamacare.

And when it came time to actually DO something?

*CRICKETS*

This election is going to be interesting. Wish I was in his district so I could vote against him!

Primary this backstabbing rino. Now he claiming he wants to simplify the tax code. Focus group BS. He has no intention to make your tax form “fit on a postcard”.
