House Ways and Means Chairman Paul D. Ryan just got an unwelcomed endorsement for speaker.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters Tuesday that he hopes the Wisconsin Republican is selected by his colleagues to succeed retiring Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio.
“He appears to me to be one of the people over there that would be reasonable. I mean, look at some of the other people. I’m a Paul Ryan fan,” Reid said. “I don’t agree with him on much of what he does. I think what he’s done with Medicare and Medicaid, what he’s wanted to do I disagree with, but generally speaking I think that … we’ve been able to work with him.” Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., told CQ Roll Call he concurs with Reid’s assessment.
“His agreement with Patty Murray was excellent — bipartisan compromise — and we don’t see much of that coming out of the House Republicans. So, it’s understandable that … many of us are hoping that there will be a reasonable speaker,” Durbin said.
OKbye.
The uniparty is on a roll.
The Ryan is completely off the list.
Very telling folks! NO! on Paul Ryan for Speaker.
I'm not.
How can I support a guy who can't even win a debate with Joe Biden?
He has his EYE on Ryan!
LOL!!! NO TO PAUL RYNO...he’s NOT a FIGHTER!!!!
Talk about the kiss of death.
Kiss Of Death
Well that just did it!!! When they come up for re-election, vote for the new person....don’t vote to put them back or we won’t get anything done like we’ve never been able to do anything....
In Utah I’m not re-electing anyone of them...the new person gets my vote....may take some time, but this isn’t getting anywhere...
The final nail in the coffin.
Supposedly Ryan is meeting with the Freedom Caucus right now.
End of the GOP!!!!

Of course he is, they are two peas in a pod.
The same ‘RATS who ran campaign commercials of a Ryan lookalike pushing granny over a cliff as she sat in her wheelchair. Now Dingy Harry wants to make nice. What’s wrong with this picture?
No ‘RATS. No RINOs.
As speaker of a REPUBLICAN house we want someone who DEMOCRATS can’t stand.
Methinks old stinky Hairy knows this is the kiss of death.
This is too easy. I urge people not to vote and every ten minutes we get another great reason why you should stay away from elections.
