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.
A group of hard-line conservative Republicans would "look favorably" on Paul Ryan if he ran to be speaker of the House of Representatives, the group's leader said on Sunday.

Ryan will just be more of the same .
Don’t expect anything to get any better
Ryan doesn’t want it. It’s a dead end job, albeit a powerful one, but not the job he wants.
Thank you for the most informative post on this thread. Yuo spelled out the reality on the ground, and it is always smart to get what is possible instead of wishing for the impossible.
If Paul Ryan does not want the job, you will not find me shedding any tears. He obviously likes his current job as chair of the very powerful Ways & Means committee.
I agree completely. But I still prefer Ryan over Pelosi.
Did you have a chance to read post #36?
This creep thinks he is a Global elite and he hates the Gop base .

Sheldon Adelson ordered him on the 2012 Gop ticket to get amnesty and H1 Visas pushed thru . Its unreal what this soulless creep is capable of.
If the 40 member caucus of conservatives in House says Ryan is OK, then by golly Ryan is Ok with me.

I’ve heard that rumored. They must know something we don’t. It may just be that Paul Ryan is the best they can hope for. I’m thinking it would be Boehner 2.0.
Yea hows that pragmatism working so far? We still have the full Obama agenda in full force, dead baby parts everywhere, Obamacare, armed terrorists...all thanks to pragmatic REPUBLICAN voting.
And now Republican voters can share in the responsibility for it all!
HOW WONDERFUL!!! We need more free range idiocy!
You are SOOO right!!! He’s another RINO...
Hmmm...my favorite Louie Gohmert is not in that list?
That looks very suspicious.
So except for the most important thing?
Do you have a viable alternative? Someone better than Paul Ryan who is WILLLING to run? And win Speakership election?
Go to the dog pound and elect the woman running it. Thats a better choice than a Romney liberal.
Romney liberals created this mess. Why do you want more of them?
Don’t bother answering. You made it clear already.
Like I have posted 1000 times, in 2016, my own #1 issue is Amnesty to illegals. So I will ask you the same question I asked others, who else is willing to run who can win and is better on Amnesty?
Ryan is a pious Catholic following the lead of the Vatican and the USCCB.
Obviously it is. You want the only guy to the left of Rubio to win the Speakership.
What you should be doing is helping to stop him.
Somehow I prefer Ryan over Boehner and Pelosi. May be I am just plain wrong. Who is willing to run for Speaker and can win, who is a better conservative especially on Amnesty?
I would love to help some other candidate. So far I prefer Chaffetz and that Rep from Florida over Ryan. But seems like no one wants run against Ryan.
I have the dame question. Amnesty is #1. Surely Ryan is intelligent enough to realize the terrible consequences of amnesty for our country. Yet he is okay with it. Nobody who pushes amnesty should be speaker.
