I want to see a list of what he promises to pass and other actions he promises to take. No more blank checks, Paul Ryan cashed the last one.

He’s campaigning for the Speaker job.
And then he will be another Paul Ryan, helping Biden and the democrats and trying to keep Trump from being re-elected.

after his eight-and-a-half-hour speech

How is that even possible? Each side was allotted that much debate time? This is the House, not the Senate.
