John Boehner Tears Up As Eric Cantor Announces Departure
ALL HAIL THE KING OF THE WHIGS
From your lips...
“Paul Ryan failed miserably in his first important task for the Trump agenda......”
For HIS OWN Agenda. NOW, Trump owns him.
Trump keeps roping dopes.
I just love WINNING! MORE WINNING PLEASE!.
Ryan failed. As did Trump who was full in with Ryan.
Ryan wasn’t up to this job in the first place. He was past his sell-by date his first day on the job.
What you need is an experienced negotiator, someone who has a conservative bedrock yet is not anxious to sit in front of the TV cameras to puff up his or her ego. Someone who can talk and get a good deal. Not many of those available. Some folks have suggested Newt, I think he’s too much of a showboat. I’d suggest looking at Morgan Griffith, who was former Majority Leader of the House of Delegates in VA.
Let Gomert be Speaker for a year.
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.
***
Exactly.
Thus, my new tagline.
Ryan’s `Sell By’ date was Nov. 8, 2016. Time for little Eddie Munster to go. He’s not on our side.
This was a win for Ryan...He can now close that book and move on to other ways to screw Trump...
Can anyone explain to me why Trump is kissing Paul RINOs butt? Now he is saying he doesn’t blame Paul RINO for the bill WTF??? Is he kidding?
The House Freedom Caucus is a die hard group of libertarian conservatives who banded together to stop the “same old, same old” uniparty way of expanding government. I am glad they stood firm and killed this awful 3-phase plan. They are true patriots. Yes, they reluctantly voted for Ryan as speaker. (I talked in person to my congress critter, a founding member. He said they were willing to give him one more shot, period. I also talked to him about this obama care lite thing—he and others were in a tough place—told him it was a very tough decision, but I support him no matter what he does on it.)
Obama care lite: Step 1 did nothing big. Step 2 would have been court-bound and tied up for 2 years as every liberal group sues over Tom Price’s decisions. Step 3 would never come, as it would just die in the senate when everyone’s distracted 2 years from now.
They all ran on complete repeal. Hold their feet to the fire. Do it in the house, send to the senate, then melt the phones. Mitch (rhymes with...) would be forced (for example) to change the filibuster rules to make them actually filibuster instead of just raising their hand. Actually,current rules allow them to limit debate in an actual filibuster right now. I believe each senator can be limited to one (possibly two) actual floor speech per session on a given matter. There are other alternatives available as well, go nuclear for example. Mitch just doesn’t currently have the balls. Force his hand, or remove him.
Ryan needs to be replaced as speaker. If that comes out of this, we won bigly. Trey would be great, for example. Anyone but the perfumed prince backstabbing never-trumper-won’t-work-weekends beta male we now have.
This is what needs to be done:
First, replace Ryan. Period. Strike while the iron is hot, and strike with everything. I’ll be melting the phones on this. It’s our great chance to remove this asshat.
Second, pull all the current exemptions. All of them. Force all the exempt friends of dems onto Obamacare, en mass. Unions, half of Nevada, etc. all exempt. Friends of dems, all. No exemptions for anyone. Current law allows removing exemptions, no problem. Then Obamacare will be radioactive and people from all sides will scream for its repeal. Make it fail by implementing it in full.
Third, pass a clean repeal in the House, with an effective date 4 months after passing. It starts the timer and forces the beta males in charge to do it right. Tort reform, selling across state lines, block grants, etc. Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads.
Fourth, force the senate to get with the program and stop the “60 votes or nothing” game. Put them on the spot, force individual senators to state their positions. Put the blinding glare spotlight squarely on them.
It will get done using this plan.
Yes...BENEDICT RYAN went in as a conservative and a guy who really wanted to change D.C. but the global establishment flashed wads of money in front of his face and that sunk him! How do all our representatives all of a sudden become millionaires? How can Ryan afford such a huge expensive house in DC? Look for the money trail and you’ll know exactly why our representatives continue to backstabbed the American people! Money is the root of all evil in DC it can turn a decent man into a raving money hungry, the hell with the Constitution and the representation of the people, lunatic! Time to fire his ass!!! We need to start a petition ASAP!!
Don’t just identify the problem!
Make recommendations.....
Who to replace?..... who has the gravitas, skill, drive and background to be effective?
Ryan was given a task, and he failed to deliver to expectations. It's time for him to be benched, too.
Trump is the CEO; he has to delegate. If his subordinates cannot perform, then he must replace them with someone else who can.
I don't accept the short-term meme that Trump is damaged. Trump should publicly make sweeping changes of all people who were involved in this as a show of action, and use it to promise his base that next time he will get it done right.
But in the meantime, he should say he's moving onto other agenda items while his new healthcare team puts in the groundwork to set the new frame properly.
Trump should set a new deadline so as to manage the expectations of the base. He should promise to pick this up again in September, after the August recess. Then, he can use the time to craft a new plan, and use the August recess to schedule town hall meetings across the country where Republican representatives on his side can build support amongst their constituents.

Ryan had 7 years to get this right.
FAIL!!!!!!!
Ryan yesterday, “failure of healthcare will make Tax Reform difficult”. Why in God’s name, does Trump allow this punk to disrespect him?
Ditto, for the present Senate Majority Leader! This is the ongoing problem with too many RINO Republicans in place and the very slow process of, finally, putting an end to RINO Republicanism: They ALL need to go at the same time, asap!
A job for Newt! ... But he probably would not move back to the DC area for anything ... Callista would go along. She’s too smart to step down in that sewer.
Can him based, not on the failure of ryancare but on his refusal to acknowledge the existence of the conservatives in the House and to deal with them.
