Ryan has been nothing but trouble. He is an establishment sell out, no friend to “conservatives”, nor to Trump, and in general has proven to be a pain in the you-know-what.

Anybody who is an activist for open borders at the cost we have seen in crime as a result and death and destruction of our citizens, who is in line with Soros and the Pope, vicariously sympathizes with enemies of the State. These views were considered anti-American not so long ago, and SEDITIOUS further back.

Many of us believe they still are. Not all of us are so smitten by Ryan’s boy scout appearance and are outraged he can still be elected for anything, never a Speaker.

I mostly agree with you. Ryan is not my favorite and if a true conservative wanted the Speakership, it probably could have been competitive. After the events of the day, it shows Ryan is not a leader - again. However, no one wants the job. Your response was full of substance and a joy to read. The other was infantile. Rita, I have seen your name for years. Sometimes you give it to me good, but you are always thoughtful and fair. I don't mind that.
