Time to replace Paul Ryan as House speaker

Paul Ryan failed miserably in his first important task for the Trump agenda.

Since 2009, the Republicans have campaigned in the elections of 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016 that they would repeal and replace Obamacare. One would think that given this history, the Republican leaders, such as Ryan, would have a well thought out plan to repeal Obamacare.

Ryan probably did not believe that Trump would win and was unprepared to lead the fight to repeal Obamacare. Ryan did not support Trump during the primaries and did his best to damage Trump. Moreover, since Trump's election in November, Ryan and the Republican leaders should have been working on a bill to repeal Obamacare to consider immediately after inauguration. But it seemed that Ryan had a plan with little if any input from conservatives. Trump had to step in to force compromises and adjustments to appeal to conservatives.

Ryan has been hoisted on his own petard. He tried to set a trap. He just isn’t smart. Rancid Penis was involved wittingly or unwittingly. As Admiral Ackbar said, it is a trap. The globalists lost this round big time. They are dumb like Ryan. Not the brightest cigar in the tool shed marquee. Politics isn’t rocket surgery nor is it brain science. It is a bunch of dum dums dumb dumbing away.

The failure was on Ryan, not on President. You should blame the person who wants the binary choice.

I so blame Ryan, not the President. And I blame the House Republican caucus -- including the Freedom Caucus -- for re-installing Ryan as speaker at the beginning of this year.

He’s failed miserably in two administrations. He’s a two time failure.

They had to beg Ryan to take the job 18 months ago.

No one in their right mind wants this gig.
