Before I went to bed, I counted 3 major newspapers that said that the freedom Caucus backed Ryan, and Breitbart and National Journal that said he didn’t. Upon closer reading, they all really said the same thing, except that the ones that said the caucus didn’t back Ryan considered that a vote of 2/3 of the voting body was NOT baacking. They insisted that the body needed to get to be 4/5 of the voting body before it could be considered backing. I dunno, I think that 2/3 is a pretty good majority. Besides, the people who said that 2/3 was backing allowed that the items where the body differed were minor and would be worked out within committee.

Depends upon how you read it and how Ryan interprets the vote, doesn’t it?
