House Speaker Paul Ryan is dismissing conservative criticism of the $1.1 trillion spending bill that Congress passed on Friday, saying that Republican leaders "fought for as much as we could get" in the compromise legislation.
"We advanced our priorities and principles. Not every single one of them, but many of them. And then we're going to pick up next year and pick up where we left off and keep going for more," he told NBC's Chuck Todd in an interview on Meet the Press.

Ryan is just embarrassing himself now.
As much as I hate the Mulatto Muslim and his Iranian handler——we also dodged a bullet by not voting in Romney and this idiot boy!
No fighting involved.
We advanced our priorities and principles.
Not the American Citizen’s!!
When are we going to demand Drug Testing for CONGRESS
Well, add a couple more points for The Donald. Ryan is proving Trump’s point about the people holding office being just plain stupid, and the need for superior negotiators.
I know! But, ‘We The People’ are still suffering a sucking chest wound! ;)
Majorities in the House and Senate, and the GOP passes a bill like this? Clearly they have complete contempt for us. I think this is their answer to the Republican electorate’s anger and support of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz. They’re flipping us off. My one small comfort is that my own congressman, Doug Lamborn (R-CO) voted against the omnibus bill. He has a 99% conservative rating by the Heritage Center.
...oh, you thought he meant he was fighting the America left.
I can see how you morons would be confused.
He was actually fighting you. :)
You don’t suppose he BELIEVES that crap, do you? I mean that’s well into delusional thinking.
There seems to be something about having THE MAJORITY that Ryan seems not to grasp.
There is a movement to remove Ryan in the primary. Do what one can to support such a result.
If “fought” is a euphemism for “bent over”, um, yeah. You did.
Ryan meant to say “WE FOUGHT FOR AS MUCH AS WE COULD GIVE AWAY”.
Hey Ryan. You got zip. And steamrolled.
May you get primaried out of office.
As well as those so called conservatives who voted for you as speaker.
Good riddance to you.
Ryan, you moron!
Pelosi used to physically lock you out of the budget meetings when she was Speaker.
Why couldn’t you return the favor?
Putz.
He’s a real POS, this guy.
......'But We Could Only Give Obama So Much.'
I’m disappointed but not that surprised. Hasn’t Paul been ‘palling around with’ Luis Gutierrez, the Congressman who acts as a lobbyist for La Raza? It’s becoming clear that Speaker Ryan is not a speaker for my side at all.
BS wuadrupling of H1B? Allowing export of gas? You didn’t fight you sold us out again.
Higher gas prices depressing of wages... Don’t tell me you fought for the American People... You sold us down the river yet again.
Jackasses
No question about it. The pendulum would not have swung far enough for a Trump had we not endured hussein.
