Dump Ryan. Demand a vote on full repeal of Obaamacare!
Paul Ryan & his fellow RINOs in the leadership are stuck in MANAGE THE DECLINE mode while the base has followed Trump into MAGA mode.
They need to join the MAGA train or get the hell out of the way.
Thanks for posting.
When I trashed the GOPe, Ryan and Priebus were part of that group. IMO < they still are.
The same guy that couldn’t find the courage to defund anything Obama did, now thinks there may be reason to delay funding of the wall. (I haven’t seen him say it yet, but the idea is floating around in the House, evidently) He’s supposedly the leader of the House of Representatives, isn’t he?
The Ryancare bill, was a traditional GOPe effort. I am so glad it failed.
We have a chance to get a good reasoned Health Care bill.
Ryan, I think I hear your mama calling you back home.
Get outa Dodge.
Ryan has always been a Cheap Labor Express Republican beholden to the people who have been selling out America.
He was the perfect running mate for the phoniest Republican nominee in my lifetime.
Romney is the quintessential Democrat in an R jersey, he invented Obamacare when he was in MA as Romneycare.
We removed his ideological twin, Eric Cantor, as our representative in June of 2014 and elected Dave Brat who has made us proud of voting without nose-holding once again.
CANTORIZE YOUR WEASELS, AMERICA!
Do it before they give our country away.

I know Paul Ryan personally and like him as a person. He is very warm, genuine, and not filled with himself. I think the Ryancare episode simply illuminated what had heretofore been a mystery to most. That is, where, exactly, does Paul Ryan fall on the political continuum.
I think that matter has now largely been answered.
I think Paul Ryan is socially conservative, but he is a true believer in government — government done right — in a manner similar to Democrats who genuinely believe in Socialism, if only it were done “correctly”.
I firmly believe that while many may be wringing their hands at this loss, or like Democrats, are gleeful. I think this is a good thing. I believe that as a result of this failure very good things will sprout forth. Republicans will gain their sea legs, and a new, better working relationship with Trump will spring forth resulting in some really great things getting done.
Yeah, I honestly believe that. I think we’re going to look back at this like the first ball game of the season we lost and then went on a hot streak.
Both Ryan and Trump have another opportunity to support conservatism and support a true repeal of ObamaCare. I am hoping they work this out in private rather than in public this time.
Paul Ryno has some serious mental issues and I wonder if ANYONE in DC actually trusts that SOB.
Ryan is Romney’s lead man in the Washington never-Trumper cabal.
Ryan = The Snake 2.0
Boehner = The Snake 1.0
Trump is up against the exact same cabal that Reagan was up against, the exact same cabal that Palin was up against.

Worse than Dems.
Ryan is finished as Speaker.
I thought up a solution that eliminates all federal involvement in any and every way whatsoever, same as if you’re buying a car. It eliminates the burden on business to administer ala carte policies, eliminates union waivers and subsidies, returns complete control to the state, allows cooperation between states, and addresses the elephant in the room - how to stop institutionalized socialized medicine under the guise of expansion of medic-aid. And I think it’s a better start than some one sentence showboat bill. So, here goes:
“The Feds-Out Plan”
1. All medic-aid program enrollments are hereby frozen.
2. Medic-aid enrollees have worse medical outcomes than privately insured patients because of lack of availability of doctors accepting medic-aid. Inadequate medic-aid reimbursements to providers results in ‘cost-shifting’ which is the most important factor of higher premiums. Therefore, the total of medic-aid enrollees will be reduced to no larger than 1/20th the population of the workforce (children excluded). Programs will be funded via block grants. Block grants for 2017 will equal 3/4ths of 2016 levels and reduced in similar increments until the enrollee goal is achieved.
3. All federal subsidies, credits or any other form of federal subsidizing of health insurance premiums are hereby revoked.
4. Individual tax deductions for covered and uncovered medical services, long-term care and insurance premiums are hereby revoked.
5. As the traditional regulator of insurance, States will establish insurance pools, and will designate carriers and services permitted to conduct business in that state. Each pool may have standards and the State underwriters may move the insured from one pool to another without prior notice as treatment history warrants. States who contract with less than 3 insurance carriers will apply to the US Attorney General for a waiver, providing justification. Individuals may purchase across state lines but only from a carrier that is also licensed to do business in their own state.
6. Independent group pools for non-profit, for-profit, state and county employee and independent groups of any sort, including unions of any sort, are no longer permitted. High-risk states (i.e., Alaska, Vermont, Wyoming) may pool together.
7. All policies, including Cadillac and catastrophic plans, must be purchased on an individual basis through the state pool using the individual’s social security number. Enrollment will be limited to an ‘open season.’ Those choosing to opt out will be required to sign an notarized acknowledgement of the right of the State to seize assets if uninsured care is sought.
8. States may seize the assets and estates upon death of any uninsured or insured individual sufficient to reimburse the State for unpaid costs incurred or submitted by a state-approved provider, including administrative costs involved. Estates are prohibited from deducting seized funds or assets from federal tax returns.
9. Providers who claim unpaid services will submit claims to the State who will reimburse the provider from the asset siezure fund. Related tax credits for providers previously used to write off such losses on federal tax returns are revoked.
10. All stock trading, commmon and preferred, and all pension fund trading in insurance and service provider related futures is hereby frozen for 90 days, subject to extension, to prevent stock market destabilization as states establish their pools and accomplish enrollments.

Perceptive article.
Almost immediately after the 2012 loss, Ryan began to lose the facade and show how compromising a RINO he really can be.
Ryan did not “surrender” anything. He is an employee of the Chamber of Commerce as are most of the rest of the members of the US Congress. Tom Donohue is his supervisor. Ryan offered what his employer desired. It is a compromise on the part of the Company because they don’t believe they can actually get Single Payer just yet. They feel they will have to wait a few months for that.
