And I gotta say aometime, so why not now, I don’t think Ryan’s all that bad.
A Speaker’s #1 job is to get his Members re-elected.
That’s why they elected him. If he fails at that, he fails- period.
He’s a RINO leader because RINOs are the majority in the caucus.
“RINOs are the majority in the caucus.”
Very true, mrsmith, though technically they are not RINOs. The majority are indeed squishes, which makes them true Republicans, not Republicans in name only. And most of them claim to be conservative, but are not. They are true Republicans but are CINOs.
The majority arrive as conservatives but get compromised by the leadership. They campaign with our message and then undercut it to get leaderships goodies. Campaign cash. Donor relationships. Committees and leadership assignments.
It’s more of a chicken and egg discussion I suppose.
