Well that’s a shame.
Ryan is no friend Mr President.
OF COURSE he didn’t endorse her message! (wink-wink!)
Trump, willful, plenus ipso.
No, but he put o dog collar and leash on the Ryno.
Nope, he just stoked the flames :P. He’s putting pressure on the FC and the leadership. Good Job! Long Game!
There isn’t another House member right now who could get 218 Republican votes for Speaker. What you’d get is another mess which is the last thing Trump needs right now. You might even get a moderate Republican Speaker elected with 30 Republicans and all the Democrats. For better or worse, Trump and Ryan are a team.
Priebus is fake news. He needs to be ousted and shut up after Ryan comes down. Sick of this fascist
President Trump might not, but me personally, absolutely. Dump Ryan.
hey all
wondering if it could actually all be kabuki theater for benefit of keeping masses temporarily on hold?
(1) trump’s main suit is economy. first priority is fix economy through tax cuts and entitlement related budget cuts. if he does this, he wins hearts and minds of enough LIVs to do whatever else he wants on his agenda so taxes are de facto first.
(2) obamacare left to itself will implode. this is the ace in the hole for republicans. this is why no plan for obamacare fix from democrats (to my knowledge— and note that sanders is formally not a democrat, iirc). so republicans always have option to wait on obamacare and blame democrats; this happens to be exactly what they are doing right now.
(3) if republicans kick over too many liberal anthills at once, there is a downside risk that they could lose elections in 2018. so if they can wait until a better timing opportunity occurs, then they should wait, at least until they can gain some coverage for some of the GOP-lite wing members up for re-election in 2018. Some GOP-lite might actually be GOP-lite in name only, and in fact ready to deliver when the rubber meets the road, eg, USSC nomination confirmation votes. Some GOP-lite may have to vote liberal at times when it does not really “count,” else they lose in the next election. Like it or not, hard right might need those votes when the going gets tough.
President Trump needs to start cleaning house else he will lose his base—voters who elected him to lead changes. He failed to keep his day one promises, he let Ryan bring up a stupid Obama Lite replacement. Trump is failing and will fail if he doesn’t stop Ryan and company from undermining him.
Preibus is in Ryan’s back pocket. I wouldn’t trust Priebus any more than I would trust Ryan.
...but I did.
So Trump encourages his followers to watch Judge Jeannine, then Priebus tells us to ignore her message. These guys really need to get their shit together; it’s starting to be comical.
Trump might not him to resign, but I do.
