The establishment wing of the Republican party is finally getting its wish.
After meeting with House Republicans this evening, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)
58%
admitted during a press conference that he was willing to run for Speaker of the House–but only if they met a list of demands of what it would take to get him to run.
“We as a conference should unify now and not after a divisive Speaker election,” Ryan said, calling for Republicans to gather as a team and “move from an opposition party to being a proposition party.”
Ryan’s list of demands appeared to highlight party unity but also party loyalty, as he criticized the chaos in the Republican caucus, leading to Boehner’s resignation.
According to Ryan’s spokesperson Brendan Buck, his demands included a change in the process for motion to “vacate the chair.”
“No matter who is speaker, they cannot be successful with this weapon pointed at them all the time,” Buck told reporters before Ryan’s speech.
Ryan signaled that the partisan brinkmanship had to come to an end.
“We have become the problem,” Ryan said. “If my colleagues entrust me to be the Speaker I want us to become the solution.”
Ryan urged his House colleagues to stop blaming the other party, the president, and the media for blocking their agenda.

Ryan has the endorsement of Harry Reid. That alone should disqualify him.
He sounds like a whiny spoiled brat!
