Ryan wants to be KNIGHTED and everyone has to bow to him?? OMG!! NO!
I ping you to this editorial comment by Erick Erickson, not because I agree, but because it is funny. I generally like Paul Ryan and think he offers more that is good than negative. Republicans could do worse. However, I have my reservations about some of his stands, as do all conservatives.
But, I think that it is just untenable to “demand” total compliance from other Republicans. It’s never going to happen and it reminds me of the childish hippies of the ‘60s and their “non-negotiable demands”.
I want that Kansas guy to be speaker: Huelskamp. He is very articulate and bold and conservative.

Has the author expressed similar comments about the indecision of Joe “Foot in mouth” Biden?
Unfortunately, the reality of Congress is that it is almost exactly like the TV show House of Cards. It is full of marginal people who are limited intellectually and hamstrung by their inability to come anywhere close to understanding their job or caring what their job is. They have no soul, no character and no goal or function in life other than to be the top pig in a trough full of swine thrashing about without any motivation other than getting fatter by devouring all they can. Congress is one of three entities on the planet Earth who along with the executive and judiciary have the ability to commit suicide for the population they supposedly work for while never themselves being touched by their own actions. They are scoundrels by proxy, thieves by nature and worthless in reality.
Ryan is what he is and what he is is not anything of value other than to himself.
Funny? It’s not funny it’s juvenile.
Ryan’s hesitation is good. He realizes he’s walking into a hornets nest of popular rebellion against the elites and anyone who takes up the mantle, but not the cause is finished politically.
And this “rebellion” is just getting warmed up, the people have already smelled blood...Too late to stop the natural course of things.
MSNBC Morning Joe has discussed this today already. Joe thought it doubtful the way Ryan, like Boehner, listed his so called “demands” in public, to the Washington Press Corp, before ever approaching quietly and even individually the Freedom Caucus.
The Caucus is exhausted with the top down leadership, where they are called by Boehner to a meeting only to meet, on the way, all the reporters who told them what the strategy of the “meeting” was going to be. Ryan essentially did the same thing yesterday.
Never mind that Ryan is all in for AMNESTY cram down.
I’m thinking that his rude public demand grandstanding MIGHT have been to draw out TRUMP. Do you suppose? I mean he is the antithesis of Trump on immigration, and conceivably the only real reason he wants the dang job— to muscle through the amnesty intention same as Boehner.
Ryan is in the pocket of the USCCB for open borders and amnesty and all goodies for all invading illegals, at any cost apparently.
When you’re getting Harry Reid’s support and you’re a so-called conservative you bet there are red flags everywhere.
He wants a FEALTY Caucus!
He's a boring wonk RINO with young kids at home. This is all about ego, and it appears to be that Ryan's is insatiable.
