House Ways and Means Chairman Paul D. Ryan just got an unwelcomed endorsement for speaker.
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters Tuesday that he hopes the Wisconsin Republican is selected by his colleagues to succeed retiring Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio.
He appears to me to be one of the people over there that would be reasonable. I mean, look at some of the other people. Im a Paul Ryan fan, Reid said. I dont agree with him on much of what he does. I think what hes done with Medicare and Medicaid, what hes wanted to do I disagree with, but generally speaking I think that
weve been able to work with him. Senate Minority Whip Richard J. Durbin, D-Ill., told CQ Roll Call he concurs with Reids assessment.
His agreement with Patty Murray was excellent bipartisan compromise and we dont see much of that coming out of the House Republicans. So, its understandable that
many of us are hoping that there will be a reasonable speaker, Durbin said.

We all know Ryan got rolled by Patty Murray. No wonder why Harriet is giddy about Ryan leading....

RINO’s don’t negotiate with conservatives...they LIE to them.

“RINOs dont negotiate with conservatives...they LIE to them.”
That is 100% historically accurate, but things do change.

Establishment GOPe worship at the backsides of Democrats, so of course Ryan would be just fine.

Regular order is a conservative demand, rest could mean anything...
“Jake Sherman ;@JakeSherman · 31s32 seconds ago
NEWS - RYAN says he wants to know by FRIDAY whether everyone will be behind him. he told FREEDOM CAUCUS that earlier today”
Sounds like he’s out.
