People wake up. Ryan will be elected overwhelmingly tomorrow. Most of the 45 will vote for Ryan, as Jim Jordan already stated this afternoon.

It is over. Ryan will be better than boehner.

The RINO old-guard establishment is having a hard time letting go. It has been years in the making, but the Republican Party needs to change or be replaced.

While Paul Ryan is not my favorite choice, he is a very smart career politician. Hopefully smart enough to realize that if he caters to only the old-guard he will be shown the door like his predecessor.

Again, Ryan is smart and ambitious, so he may help change the party for the better. I won't hold my breath, he has maybe 100 to 150 days to show he has the right stuff.

I love that sentence: The whole rotted, kleptocratic post-war order is close to collapse.

I doff my chapeau. I sure hope you’re right.

That’s probably why Jebby Bush is NWO, open-borders. NWO Daddy told him how things were gonna go.

Jeb, meanwhile, is confused as to why nobody supported him outside mom, pop, Karl Rove, W and a few liberal RINO’s.

They are likely playing some pre-scripted game and it is all decided already.

Never thought I'd see the day and realize that there really isn't a dimes worth of difference between the two parties.

Nov 2016 is REALLY our last chance to get our country back - if its not already too late. Dear Lord, please help us….

Has time been scheduled for when the poor overworked “Speaker to be” gets to spend time with his wife and kids yet?

Our last defense is gone. We are all South America now.

It is a micro aggression to use English.

There are huge numbers of Americans laboring under the delusion that that the politicians give a damn and that their vote matters. Rather stunning when it comes down to it. Mass psychosis.

The difference between ryan and boehner is that boehner was an incompetent enemy. Ryan is a very skilled one.

This is what voting has wrought.

Eddie Munster is just another malignant kleptocrat. Unfortunately one who is far more skilled than his predecessor.

We traded in a drunkard for vidkun quisling.
