Dave Brat Urges Delay on Speaker Vote; A ‘Better Way’ Did Not Animate This Historic Election
Breitbart ^ | 11/14/2016 | JULIA HAHN

Posted on 11/14/2016 5:14:49 PM PST by GilGil

Virginia Congressman Dave Brat is urging a delay of Tuesday’s leadership election. Before lawmakers cast their vote, candidates for GOP leadership ought to identify the specific policy agenda they plan to enact in response to the mandate that the American people gave Congress with the election of President-elect Donald Trump, Brat says.

Brat explained that Speaker Ryan’s “Better Way” agenda is not what “animated this historic insurgent election”. He also noted that while Speaker Ryan may not have been “listening to the voices of the forgotten and downtrodden American workers,” some conservative members of Congress were paying attention and have struggled to “to carry that message to the elites and media in D.C. who have, until now, paid no attention to what those voices had to say.”

Uh! Oh! Let the deal making begin.

Is Ryan in trouble? Or is Trump looking for a better deal?

I am loving this!!!

If Wisconsin wasn’t so full of brain-dead liberals, we could even hope for a recall. Paul Ryan has a face than only a used car salesman could profit by.

More cracks in the facade. The fear of Trump is palpable.
The less he says, the more they panic. It is worldwide.

Ryan simply has to go. I can think of no reason to let him remain SOTH.

Maybe that is why Ryan looked like he was going to a funeral in his last interview. I hope Trump puts the screws to him.

Yeah.
Seems the RINOs are trying to steamroll Trump. But he’s getting a lot of what he wants- and quickly.

Just have to see.
