The approximately 40-member House Freedom Caucus is at the center of turmoil within the Republican Party over who will be the party's effective leader in the House ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

He’s a moron because he sold his soul and should have known better.I think they have so much dirt on these people that there is no fixing it.
Ryan is a steaming amnesty turd.
Agree. Can’t understand why they are trying to “persuade” the “reluctant” Ryan to stand for the Speakership. The a**h*** buddy of Boehner, Cantor, and McCarthy certainly has plenty of ambition and the Romney/Ryan presidential run wasn’t exactly family friendly when his kids were younger.
He’s gotten a taste of presidential fever and doesn’t want to have a fractious history when he makes his big run.

I think the Eric Cantor "firing" surprised the hell out of a lot of the GOPe.
Boehner has seen the writing on the wall and is rightfully bowing out.
I think that is what happened to McCarthy - he was encouraged to read the tea leaves and it did not portend a victory for him.
Same reason Ryan is hesitating, same reason the rest of them are hesitating.
If they can't get enough votes then why should they even bother?
The truth is the GOPe has kept the thumb on too many of our guys and the RINOs have played their last card.
The anger is palpable and the GOPe is squirming in their congressional seats.
There comes a point when you get shoved that one time and righteous anger takes over.
That is what has happened.
The GOPe has crossed the line.
at least they aren’t trying to open the doors and shut down immigration enforcement. Ryan, there is no place for him.
