Hopefully that’s just a bluff Boehner is using to twist the arms of House conservatives who’d otherwise object to another center-right Speaker. Line up behind Ryan, Boehner is saying, or else I’ll stick around and make your lives even more miserable. What his leverage is in doing that isn’t immediately clear to me; wasn’t the whole reason he quit in the first place because he wasn’t sure he had the votes to survive the challenge being led by Rep. Mark Meadows to oust him? But maybe this little nudge will be enough to convince the Freedom Caucus to give Ryan a shot. Grassroots conservatives might not like that, as Ryan’s lost plenty of goodwill with them from his chumminess with Boehner and his 2013 budget deal with Patty Murray, but he seems to be well respected by most House tea partiers. I bet he’d get to 218 if he ran.

How?
You only have to look back to speaker pelosi to understand how democrats are worse. A democrat would cut military spending and raise taxes and raise domestic spending,
Another case of the blind leading the blind.
a picture of a loser, a bigger loser, and a coward.
Next they will want to bring back Cantor.
“...You only have to look back to speaker pelosi to understand how democrats are worse. A democrat would cut military spending and raise taxes and raise domestic spending...”
Ok. Well there are many who believe that that is reserved for democrats. Many otgers see that not only do republicans do this, but this particular congress not only does it, but enables democrats to do it, and make the environment rich for furthering the dem agenda. Romney would have gone after Hillarys Benghazi misdeeds in someone’s dream only, and ushered in eight years
I digress What I describe in my post is Paul Ryan reducing military budget. And by breaching contract with war vets and their survivors.
You are wasting my time
Ryan is indeed a Boehner clone. Only difference between the two is one’s orange and one isn’t.
Paul Ryan has already officially bowed out:

“Paul Ryan would be like John Boehner without the spray tan”.
Ryan is an establishment wimp.
Toasty, Ryan is.
Pink elephants. And spiders.
But then the House is in session, on the floor, until another speaker is elected.
And that floor debate and voting is not limited to the majority party.
A vacate motion is only good if you have 218 votes in your pocket for somebody else.
And, it appears, there are not 218 votes for anyone.
I hope Boehner has one too many fingers of Glenlivet and falls down his stairs.
That Paul La Raza Ryan is a Huge Liar mocked everyone who stated that TPP was a cheap foreign labor Scheme.
As it turns out TPP is a cheap foreign labor scheme.
Ryan needs to be tar and feathered and drag thru Potomac .
He is fully owned by Adelson , the Las Vegas cheap labor Lib billionaire !
K Street Whores .
I didn’t know/realize that that gang of three were true conservative politicians. I’ll have to get a new set of glasses for my nearly 90 years. First of all I want to find out if either of the three actually carried a gun in the defense of the US.
Aww, hell NO. Ryan was rolled by supergenius Patty Murray on the last budget deal. He’s worthless.
none of them are / were young
What’s a waste of time is the self pitying hyperbole that keeps people from discerning grey and white.
None did. They just call themselves the Young Guns.
