NYTs ^ | 1/3/17 | MATT FLEGENHEIMER

[ZULU]

Projectile vomiting.

[Organic Panic]

Such high hopes we had for Ryan in 2012. Such a shame that the sickness of DC infects everyone who steps foot in that feculent wasteland.

[who knows what evil?]

'conservative policy making'

Who is the NYT trying to kid? ROTFLMAO!

[Theodore R.]

PRyan has the same kind of Democrat appeal as the two McCs of AZ and KY and the Graham of SC.

[Gene Eric]

Ryan thrives on affirmation, and the Democrats give it to him. He’s doesn’t belong in a position of authority.

[ifinnegan]

I was hoping Ryan and McConnell would be out with the Trump victory.

But Trump is fine with them, otherwise they would be out.

[Flaming Conservative]

BIG shock, huh? Trump’s going to have to carry around a REALLY big stick.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Oh well, it was to be expected.
He is a globalist open borders/amnesty Cheap Labor Express Republican and will require watching closely.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Theodore R. ;" PRyan has the same kind of Democrat appeal as the two McCs of AZ and KY and the Graham of SC."

Exactly true !
Wolves in sheep's clothing, while guarding the hen house.
The problem is their constituency keeps re-voting them back !

[Vigilanteman]

Precisely! There is a good chance that he will roll for Trump as easily as he rolled for ObaMao.

[TTFX]

One Republican voted against it.

[deport]

And so the new regime begins to take form......

[Boogieman]

[tennmountainman]

Ryan is not off to a good start trying to sneak through a ethics rule
change in secret and the dark of night.

These GOP hacks still have not learned anything from this election.

[lavaroise]

He is not a potted plant? After being a molded brick of Obama?

[RS_Rider]

115th congress starts off with a huge blunder, hope it’s all up hill from here.

[crusher]

“Maybe I missed it but I did not hear about any serious conservative challenge to Ryan.”

You did not miss it, there are no serious conservatives in DC, at least not serious enough to challenge the status quo as that would threaten their own positions.

[DoodleDawg]

Whoopee.

[silverleaf]

Everyone clap

[bgill]

There is no good thing about Ryan. However, being Speaker, he can’t vote unless there’s a tie. IOW, he has less power than the newest junior Rep. in the room. That’s one less vote for the RINOs.
