Norm, you’ve been proven more than right over these years, I can only hope that more people WAKE UP to the message that you have been bringing.

In case anyone was wondering how long it’d be before Ryan did Ryan.

Some do. Some are still pimping Rubio, Fiorina, Carson and any number of liberal lesser evils and browbeating anyone for not complying with their liberal agendas.

He will not honor his promise to not push an amnesty bill. Look also for TPP to pass.

It’s not just me. A lot of us say the exact same thing. And we are buried by the liberal blowback. I have seen threads 10on one with people pushing the crap that got us in this mess.

Until others stand up and tell them to go to hell, we arent going to make any headway. If we can’t win here, we sure as fork arent winning a general.

Look at it this way, Ryan doesn't even bother with a back stab on this, he's using a front stab.

Which ultimately is a good thing. Now the libs on the right are going to play hell justifying keeping their subversion closeted to support him. The less fig leaf the better.

Yea it sucks for America but some need a lot more pain than others to learn a hard lesson.

Elected men of principle in the first place and avoided the problem. Not ‘lesser evils’ in some self deluding orgy of justification.

President and CEO, U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Thomas J. Donohue is president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Since assuming this position in 1997, Donohue has built the Chamber into a lobbying and political powerhouse with expanded influence across the globe.

During Donohue’s tenure, the Chamber’s lobbyists, policy experts, legal advocates, and communicators have helped secure business victories on Capitol Hill, in the regulatory agencies, in politics, in courts of law and in the court of public opinion, and before governments around the world.

In an era of economic and fiscal challenges, Donohue has aggressively advanced the American Jobs, Growth, and Opportunity Agenda, a plan that includes expanding trade and domestic energy production, rebuilding America’s infrastructure, combating an avalanche of new regulations, protecting intellectual property, revitalizing capital markets, and reforming entitlements and the tax system.

Under Donohue’s leadership, the Chamber has emerged as a major political force in races for the Senate and the House of Representatives. As part of this bipartisan effort, millions of grassroots business advocates, as well as the Chamber’s federation of state and local chambers and industry associations, mobilize in support of pro-business candidates.

Donohue established the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, which advances significant legal reforms in the courts, at the state and federal levels, and in elections for state attorneys general and Supreme Court judges. He has dramatically expanded the activities of the U.S. Chamber Litigation Center, the Chamber’s law firm. And he has reinvigorated the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, which houses Hiring Our Heroes, a program that identifies job opportunities for tens of thousands of returning veterans and military spouses.

Previously, Donohue served for 13 years as president and CEO of the American Trucking Associations, the national organization of the trucking industry. Earlier in his career, Donohue was deputy assistant postmaster general of the United States and vice president of development at Fairfield University in Connecticut.

Born in New York City, Donohue earned a bachelor’s degree from St. John’s University and a master’s degree in business administration from Adelphi University. He holds honorary degrees from Adelphi, St. John’s, Marymount, and Bradley universities, as well as the National University of Ireland at Maynooth. He is a 2013 recipient of the Horatio Alger Award. Donohue and his wife, Liz, have three sons and five grandchildren.
