RE “ He said that the president will try to divide conservatives, especially in the House majority, but he urged conservatives to resist the potential for infighting.
“We have to stay united.”
Ryan also urged Republicans to be prudent in their governance. “Prudence is good judgment in the art of governing,” he said.
“Our founders were men of prudence,” he said. James Madison supported the Constitution despite the fact that several of his ideas were not incorporated into the final document, Ryan said. “We are the living beneficiaries of Madison’s prudence,” Ryan argued. “

Sounds like common sense although its easier said than done.
Hopefully Prudence means no ‘path to citizenship’.

I heard that Ryans 10 year balanced budget plan takes advantage of the current higher (Clinton) tax rates for income over $400K when citing how it could work. And he refers to it as the 'current tax baseline' when explaining it.

Back here in 2010 he was saying that raising those taxes would make the deficit worse by 'killing the economy' :
Paul Ryan talks taxes & spending with MSNBC's Chris Matthews ( Jul 26, 2010 $4.8 trillion in specific spending cuts in the House Republicans' Budget Alternative) .

Platitudes and generalities ain’t gettin’ it.

Without specifics, articles like this are worthless.

Time to get busy. Who has a workable plan with details?

Paul Ryan urges unity

Unity?

Let's put make this a sports metaphor. The QB on one team calls a huddle, and he says, "let's come together". And then we walks over to the defensive huddle, and says, "hey, let's come together and work for the same thing."

Ryan ain't no frickin' leader. He can't identify the enemy and effectively communicate that he is right and they are wrong and only one team needs to win.

I am not writing about a Republican team, but an American team with conservative values, as most Republicans have never had any values or principles and zero Democrats have either.

Looking back on it, I don’t think Ryan did well in his exchange with Biden though at the time I thought he was the marginal “winner”. Ryan is too much of a Boy Scout for politics, but he is likeable.

I may be wrong, but wasn’t Ryan just shilling for Rubio’s amnesty plan?

[Joe Boucher]

This is all just hooie. The pubbies will never get power back with “leaders” like boehner and mc connel.

Forget Ryan. He is a Socialist pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty...which will cost taxpayers more to implement than ObamaCare.

We need Real Conservatives who will lead....not PhonyCons who prattle on
