Hillary Clinton, Paul Ryan and the relationship that could shape Washington
Washington Post ^ | 10.12.16 | Robert Costa and Philip Rucker

Posted on 10/12/2016 9:33:42 AM PDT by SoFloFreeper

..... their relationship could become Washington’s most important in determining whether the federal government functions over the next four years, should Clinton win the presidency and Ryan retain his majority — as polls show is probable, although not certain, for both.

This year’s melodrama of a campaign has provided a window into the uneasy Trump-Ryan relationship, which appeared to reach its breaking point this week. What’s less clear is what a Clinton-Ryan relationship would look like.

Any relationship with the Clintons involves learning to ask “how high?” Every time the Clintons say “jump” that’s the only acceptable response. If it means going to jail you do it.

It’s also important to keep the “stink” away from the Clintons while doing what they want you to do. You should not need to be “asked” to commit a crime but should understand on your own that it must be done. Wikileaks is making that rule even more important since there’s no safe way to “ask”. Lynch could be in trouble since Bill had to personally “ask” her - the “stink” was not kept at a distance. She owes them bigly which is bad for us.

And Ryan prefers that to working with Trump.

If those clowns rule the shape of DC will change—but not the way they and the WaPo freaks think.

Everyone needs to contact their House member 202-224-3121, tell them if they vote for the Democrat in an R jersey Ryan to be Speaker again they will be Cantorized.
I did yesterday and the staffer I talked to told me their phones have been jammed with similar calls.
They only fear one thing, not being re-elected.

The GOP is dead now.

Mr. Trump’ supporters will crawl over glass,
and not even 40% will vote downticket
if Ryan is not been removed this week.

That has been the end goal of the bipartisan plan for 30 years largely implemented by GHWB and GWB.

Would love to see Gohmert make a run for the Senate against Cornyn. He would need at least a gazillion dollars in his war chest though. Last time Cornyn was up for election the vote was split among too many candidates. Don’t think Gohmert wants to be Speaker of the House.

Ryan has to win his own House election. Then, if the Republicans have a majority in the House, he has to get a majority of them to support him being Speaker. Neither is a given.

I presume P. Ryan is ahead in the polls? If I lived in his district, I would vote for his opponent.

If Trump wins (and I certainly hope he does for the nation's sake) what real leverage does he have to force Ryno out as Speaker? I'd really love to see that, too. Tar, feathers, hot tea kettle, rail. See him out, Sergeant-At-Arms.

The statist, progressive left of both Democrat and RINO Republicans will be printing money and stealing from citizens as hard as they can when that happens. Ryan will help Clinton in this regard. Both are statists who see the needs of Fed.gov first, above all else.

If Hillary wins: Say goodbye to your 401K. Poof! The DemoPublicans will raid your nest egg and Presto-Chango! You get instead a government Social Security "program" worth zilch.

For the children.

And the GOP will bend over...

President Clinton: "I want those 401(k)'s"

Ryan: "Right away, Madam President!"

McConnell: "You got it, Ma'am!"

[chuckle] "You boys are good!"
