Ryan is a policy wonk..not a negotiator. He would be a terrible speaker.
I can’t help remembering the debate and how he let Plugs run rough shod over him.
If you go back before the 1960s...the Speaker role went to a guy with organizational skills and he kinda served as a umpire. Neither Pelosi or Boehner....nor even Gringrich...were of that top of character.
Go back and review just how bad of relations between the Senate and the House from 1963 to 1971. Even Democrats complained about their own leadership and felt that things were spiraling at that point (they even had three-quarters of the membership for a two-year period).
