Paul Ryan sucks. It makes me sick to my stomach that I went out and voted for him and mittens in 2012.

[House Atreides]

A plan based on no input from conservatives...
*************************************************************
And, as Louie Gohmert said on Fox News this morning, BASED ON A LIE (that the Senate Parliamentarian said that the entirety of needed changes could not be considered under “reconciliation”).

Paul Ryan needs to go!

[redfreedom]

Ryan is a GOPe guard. He’s accomplishing enough to make Trump look bad. Gonna be hard to replace, but if so, it would be a huge win that shoulda been done long before Trump ever announced he was running.

[tflabo]

GOPeee Ryano’s are just proverbial flies in the ointment. This is what we get for not primarying out these spoilers with the voters.

[Ronin]

I am really wondering if the GOP is happy that Trump won. Life is much easier in opposition, when all you have to do is kick back and complain.

How many times did the GOP vote to repeal Obamacare when they knew it wouldn’t go anywhere? Who were those Congressmen? We need to put the wood to these peckerheads.

[OrioleFan]

Maybe President Trump will take the lead role in the tax bill, bring in all groups for inputs - excluding Ryan to send a message to the voters in Wisconsin and the establishment crowd.

It's easier to be the speaker when the democrats control the white house.

You can blame everything on them and never do the job you're being paid for.

Now that the Republcans control things paul pelosi and partners are dragging their feet and playing a new game.
It's called let's make Trump get gone in four years...

The jig is up paulie.

You will probably drag your feet on your way out the door in an effort to eat up more of Trump's time to succeed.

But believe me when I say this neither you or romney or any of your little helpers will ever get my vote in the future.

And I'm going to work as hard as I can to send your sorry ass to political oblivion.

Don't take your time, just go.

It’s a binary choice: Conservatism or Ryan.

It’s a binary choice: Winning or Ryan.

It’s a binary choice: Drain the Swamp or Ryan.

It’s a binary choice: Make America Great Again or Ryan.

At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787,  Franklin was queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberation. In the notes of Dr. James McHenry, one of Maryland’s delegates to the Convention,  a lady asked Dr. Franklin “Well Doctor what have we got, a republic or a monarchy.”  Franklin replied, “A republic . . . if you can keep it.”

The answer is no, we can't keep it.

A people that elects the likes of Barack Obama, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Susan Collins, John McCain etc., etc., has no one to blame but themselves for the total disaster that is their government.

We are a nation headed for the cliff at high speed. It is only a matter of time.

[MSF BU]

Bring back Newt Gingrich. The GOP house leadership contains no leaders.

[American in Israel]

The lack of repeal in the repeal and replace effort after so many years just demonstrated that they never intended to free us from their medical tyranny. It gives them money and power no matter the cost in lives.

Flush Congress, the bowl is full.

[bonehead4freedom]

It's very simple Boehner after realizing that he couldn't retain his seat as Speaker of the House tried to push Kevin McCarthy as the new Speaker and when that failed went with plan B Paul Ryan. It is important to note that both Boehner and Eric Cantor who was supposed to be the next Speaker before being primaried out have remained in Washington after leaving Congress and are there to help “guide” Speaker Ryan with the proper approach to legislation. Ryan couldn't get ObamaCare repeal done because the Chamber of Commerce wants to move to single payer to get health care off the corporate books so he made sure to make it unpalatable to House Conservatives.This not only keeps ObamaCare in place but weakens Trump so they reach across the aisle to move forward the GOPe agenda. Now if they were pushing a comprehensive amnesty I mean immigration bill you can bet your last dollar that Speaker Ryan would be fighting hard to make sure not only can we legalize border jumpers but that they will be able to chain migrate their whole families too.

[Maudeen]

I vote “aye”.

[niteowl77]

Paul Ryan does need to go now. The only reason Boehner left the chair was that he had run his course and the PTB wanted someone else who was more effective, but with fewer scruples… with Ryan, they got their wish. Someone please bust this smirking, wise-ass, congenital sneak back into overalls and leave him there on a bench in the back of the house until he moves on to the non-elected lobbying gig he was made for. I'm sure his wife, his in-laws, Tom Donohue and the usual suspects will miss the excitement and amusement of watching him screw up the GOP from the inside, but they've had enough fun.

Dear Mr. Trump,

The swamp is the swamp. You can’t get to D.C. and pretend it is the swimming pool.

Love,

Your supporters.

von Ryan's Cheap Labor Express will roll on. No danger of him losing his jorb.

LITTLE RYAN AT THE BAT

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the GOPE that day.
The vote stood more than 20 shy; the looming clouds were gray.
But when Moderates shook their fists and conservatives said "No bill!"
A pall-like deathly silence fell upon the Rulers Of The Hill

A sneer appeared on Ryan’s lip, as he gazed up at the clock
He pounds with cruel authority, his gavel on the block
And now the clerk calls for the vote, and now he adds it up
And now the air is shattered by the force of Ryan's "NO !!!"

Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Swampville—Little Ryan has struck out.

Paul Ryan’s single goal is to be the man with the plan. It doesn’t matter what the plan is, as long as he’s the architect.

[DaveA37]

“Ryan and the Republican leaders should have been working on a bill to repeal Obamacare to consider immediately after inauguration”......

The bastards were too busy trying to undermine Trump to spend precious time on a replacement for “odumocare”. IMO, any health care plan should NOT be developed by politicians since history tells us it is those who contribute the most to their political careers that will benefit from any such plan. Turn over the health care plan to people who have NO AXE to grind, people who are NOT politically connected and actually know something about health care and insurances plans, its rather obvious those political losers have no clue.
