I am not sure...but McConnell is GOPe to the core, and Ryan’s budget deal as the new Speaker says all I needed to know.
Best news of the day in this regard was this:
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy signs up to be a Trump delegate

Pretty soon the straws are going to pile up enough to break their GOPe backs.
It’ll be enough for Ryan and McConnell to roll over for Trump the way they did for Obama.
For years, their agenda has been “defer to the President’s agenda” on all matters while pretending to fight the President’s agenda. So, I’m not sure if much would need to be adjusted under a Trump administration.
1.) Amnesty
2.) Amnesty
3.) Amnesty
4.) Amnesty
Jim, The Ryan/McConnell agenda is the same as Obama’s.
They do whatever Obama wants.
Which is why Trump has done so well.
Ryan and McConnell do not have the same agenda.
Does anyone have a list of the legislative goals of the Ryan/McConnell legislative agenda?
1. Get Hillary Elected
2 Destroy the United State
3 Enslave the citizens in perpetual debt
4 KILL ALL AMERICANS
you need more??
NY Times says there is “little harmony in their legislative agenda”:
It is identical to Obama’s.
McConnell’s agenda is to control as much of the GOPe and Senate Republicans as possible and keep them on the reservation and block them from doing anything crazy.
Ryan’s goal is to mediate between the House conservatives and McConnell and try to do better than Newt, who was constantly blocked by Trent Lott-etal from passing the House agenda in the GOP controlled Senate.
They do not consider what is good for the country, or for Republican voters, or for the presidential candidate.
They are focused on themselves.
Off point, perhaps, but what excitement in thinking The Donald will be in the White House working on such projects! Whoever thought that man who took my college friends to Maxwell’s Plum had risen so very high?! You could knock me over with a feather.
Remember that Elaine Chao McConnell—former Sec of Cheap Labor Express for the Bush Crime Family—sits in the BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT FOX
Yes Jim LYIN RYAN/ McConnell agenda is ANYTHING OBAMMIE WANTS!!!!
1. Trans-Pacific Partnership to destroy US sovereignty.
2. Amnesty and citizenship for illegal aliens.
3. Privatize and/or cut future planned expenditures for Social Security
4. More sanctions on Russia
Mark Levin just said Senator Bob Corker from Tennessee might be Trump’s running mate ...
Good Grief I hope not !!!
I’ve never voted for this RINO idiot traitor ...
Even if the Trump program as to rates and simplification were adopted, there would still be room for many favors in the transition rules and enabling legislature; and the budget likewise contains many secret deals as to spending. In both instances, the details are so complex that outsiders have a hard time researching and understanding what the deal is and just who benefits, and Congress tends to package the smelly stuff with must pass legislation and giving Presidents little choice.
To expand on the link in post #10 which had good info ...

Criminal justice reform? welfare reform? poverty?
“Legislative goals.
Despite an abbreviated congressional calendar in 2016 thanks to the presidential election, Ryan has signaled he wants to tackle some major issues, including criminal justice reform in the next six months.
He has also talked about taking action on welfare reform and this weekend hosted a forum in South Carolina to focus on an issue that has been given short shrift on Capitol Hill and the presidential campaign trail: poverty.
...
Ryan, too, has said he would like to approve the dozen measures individually and avoid the end-of-year drama of having to cobble together a must-pass omnibus spending bill, but it’s been an item on a much larger to-do list, not the goal of the year.”
Jim, I love your sense of humor.
Ryan/McConnell agenda. LOL!

“What I hope Senate Republicans will present to the country is a conservative, right-of-center governing majority”

” When your first priority is to “govern” rather than diminishing the size and scope of government, you have nothing to counter the Democrats who make passing their agenda the price of governing.”
Ryan has been the Speaker for over four months—no agenda in sight.
