"We have a majority in the House and Senate and it feels like nothing's getting done," 32-year-old James Hulsey said just before Ryan recently toured his workplace.
Sensing the angst, Ryan has been much more visible in his southeast Wisconsin district as Republicans failed to deliver on their yearslong promise to scrap the health care law and new polling numbers show the speaker is less popular among Republicans in Wisconsin than President Donald Trump. Trump won Wisconsin by less than a percentage point, but he carried Ryan's district by 10 points.
In the remaining months of the year, Ryan and the Republican-led Congress are determined to deliver major legislation, elusive so far due to GOP infighting, and the top priority is overhauling the nation's tax code. Failure to produce could cost Republicans their House majority in the 2018 midterms and, for Ryan, his job as speaker and Republican leader.
"This is the third time in 100 years we've had this alignment of government that we've got to get it done or else I really worried our country will continue down a bad path," Ryan said after his tour of the wire manufacturer Banker Wire, in Mukwonago, Wisconsin.
He later told the Wisconsin State Journal, "If we don't do our job, we will depress turnout. I am frustrated as well."
Republican Keith Ketzler, 62, worries that the GOP will pay politically next year. Democrats need to flip 24 seats to regain control.
"Everybody that voted Republican is getting very frustrated," Ketzler said, after prodding Ryan about why Congress hasn't achieved more. "People crossed the line last time, but they're not going to stay crossed if they don't get things done."

Well Paul are you part of the swamp or are you not? Time to blank or get off the pot. Your choice. The people or the swamp.
Republican swamnpthings, except for a small handful, are totally clueless. Do they really think the voters will tolerate it if the only thing they accomplish is tax breaks for the rich? Ryan is the worst.....all of those years of “Repeal ObamaCare” and the so-called policy wonk didn’t have a plan about what to do. If he weren’t so arrogant, he would’ve written one between the election and the inauguration, to save being seen by all as the hypocritical *sses they are.
Ryan can argue that he has no control over what GOP senators will or will not pass.
Ratface Ryan is an enemy strongpoint. It is past time to remove this uniparty turd.
[Well Paul are you part of the swamp or are you not? Time to blank or get off the pot. Your choice. The people or the swamp.]
This is the exact question Paul Nehlen needs to public ask and pressure Ryan to answer on a daily basis.
The problem is, as I see it, is that we the people are suffering because of personal vendettas against Trump by a bunch of puffed up, egomaniac, self-centered idiots in both houses. They don’t do what’s good for the country, but act like children holding grudges.
“Republican Keith Ketzler, 62, worries that the GOP will pay politically next year. Democrats need to flip 24 seats to regain control.”
Why is it always just a binary choice. Make it binary in the primaries, then make it binary again.
I can well imagine him running around his district “being visible.” Lying to the people as he always does. Will they buy it in 2018?

Ryan’s priority is changing the dress code in Congress (no joke).
Ryan has never had a real job in his life. The guy ran to Obama’s defense more so than he has Trump.
Ryan and Co. like the DEM agenda, they have to act because they know it doesn’t play well with real Voters.
The guy is cloistered and lost.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Ryan... your JOB is to do what the people of this great country elected you to do. I don't know why he can't seem to grasp that basic concept.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Sounds to me as if a followup Trump rally in Ryan’s district is in order, ASAP.
The GOP is trying to figure out how they can bullshit constituents one more time to get their lobbyist’s work done in Congress.
Then he should resign and they should find someone who can and is actually willing to do the job.
The GOP doesn’t want to get anything done. It exists purely to help the demoncrap further their progressive/fasscist agenda. The GOP’s means of furthering leftism is by posing as an opposition party with show-voating and thereby blocking any true opposition party from forming. The election of President Trump has exposed them for the fakes that they are.
Maybe no one else in the House wants to claim that they can control the Senate.
When trump ran he made it sound like he could control both Houses. Remember when Palin said that Trump 'commands fire' ?
