Republicans nominated Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan for Speaker of the House on Wednesday.

The Republican conference selected Ryan over Florida Rep. Daniel Webster during a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill.

Ryan won’t officially be elected speaker, as expected now, until the entire body of Republicans and Democrats gather for a public floor vote Thursday.

Ryan’s path to speaker-in-waiting has been messy, to say the least.

I expect at least 375-400 rino and 'rat votes for Ryan.

That'll show us right-wingers that Trump and Carson in the Pub Republican race are unacceptable to the GOPe.

And this guy is going to be an improvement over Boehner? Two peas in a pod as far as I’m concerned.

According to Ingraham, and another talk show guy, the GOP individually threatened each member of the “conservative” group. Only 5 didn’t give in, according to Laura’s source.

The Corrupt B*stards Club, as they used to call them in Alaska before Sarah shoveled them out. Then, when she left, they returned.

Ryan would probably be a fine neighbor, but he is WAY too soft on criminal immigration for my taste.

Listening to Rush after a noon meeting today....wow, he was really on fire. I hope it continues and I hope guys like Trump, Carson and perhaps Cruz keep it up during the debate. Whatever the question just take off on what is going on in DC...IMO, a winner.
