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.

Old news I think!
Do you know anyone who will deport ALL illegals? I have seen only Louie Gohmert say he is for all illegals deported.
Because 530/535 congress critters will not deport all illegals. So to them Ryan is one of them.
Let’s hope it is old news and Ryan will keep his current job. On more important subject, which stocks will go up?
ICIRR = Illinois Coalition for Migrant and Refugee Rights
Yeah, Trump is the one.
At first I didn’t like him, but he has said some things that caused me to take a second look, and I like him.
He is not of them at all. He has no association with them, and they all hate him, and that is one of the things that makes me like him, among other things as well.
It no longer makes any sense to me to hope that those who are purposely hurting America and everyone in it are someone going to change up their ways and help. They aren’t going to, they are parasites.
And there are those who keep saying well if Trump drops out, who are you going to support then.
The answer at this point is no one.
None of the other ones are saying anything that matters at all. They are all just playing their own angles, but they don’t seem to realize or care that this country is burning out fast.
That tells me everything I need to know about Paul Ryan.
If what you believe is true and no conservative can win then that is why you are receiving no replies to your question. You answered it yourself.
I’m not the type of person who believes in choosing a lesser evil so I’m not the one to ask a question like “who could win”. I would put up the candidate I believe in and let evil fight against them. That’s just the way God made me.
I do believe that there are candidates out there who would be great speakers however they have to be asked. I have no idea if they would say yes or no. I would choose someone conservative outside of DC however. Sarah Palin has crossed my mind more than once. I’m sure the “she can’t win” or “she is hated” comments are coming. Personally, unless there is a candidate for the job who I believe is worth fighting for I could care less which one of them gets the job as nothing is going to change. We would be exchanging one poison for another.
I just heard the other day that 41% of the country claims they are conservative. I believe that the GOP should at least be making an attempt to represent those 41%. The way they act you’d think it was more like 5%.
If we are going to be honest with ourselves and this is how it’s going to be “conservatives can’t win”, “Cruz can’t win”, “the House won’t elect a conservative” then we may as well just give up now and save ourselves the grief. Choosing the “one that can win” has only caused us great harm and will continue to further erode what is left of the Republic.
Personally, I’d rather stand up and fight praying that God is on our side than die a death by a thousand little cuts hoping that Satan will eventually get tired of the war.
Same here. I renamed him Lyin Paul Ryan, after that Amnesty love tour with Gutierrez. That and his calling a budget shutdown over spending “suicide”.
Ryan is not a conservative and is adamantly for amnesty and open borders. It is his religion. If he said he would compromise his desire for amnesty/open borders in order to fool some conservatives into voting for him, that promise would have a half life of about 20 minutes.
Just say “no” to a Ryan speakership.
You just spelled out why a non-politician, Donald Trump, is leading in every state and national poll. It is because 41% are conservative, but the career politicians are acting as puppets of their rich donors, which is never conservative. May be America is beginning to awaken.
Be sure to email your House Rep.
“Be sure to email your House Rep.”
I did before the McCarthy vote and will again if it becomes official that Mr. Open Borders is in the running.
I have news for you...ALL congress critters are for Amnesty. Because none of them will say they will deport ALL illegals. If you do not deport illegals, it is amnesty in some form. Check web sites of all candidates for president in 2016. You will not find the words “deport all illegals” on a single web site, except Trump.
OK, may be I heard Louie Gohmert say he is for deporting all illegals.
“If you do not deport illegals, it is amnesty in some form.”
Agreed.
Drudge has a story saying Ryan can’t put together the minimum 218.
Marsha Blackburn has tossed her hat in the ring! She’s about as tough as was Margret Thatcher. Go Marsha. She quit school on account of Recess, she just don’t play.
I am calling my Congrss critter, Louie Gohmert asking he back Blackburn.
Pretty sad that one is willing to trade the lives of babies via Romney abortion, healthcare for Ronmeycare, and conservative governance for more RINO collaboration with Dems that destroyed America and call that pragmatic. Most people would call it evil.
And they would be correct. But what makes Romneybots stupid as well as evil is that they still think Mitt was better than Romney when his actual record proved he wasn’t and his actions since the great fail reinforce it.
I had not seen this.
Interesting to note that yesterday Marsha Blackburn was praising Donald Trump.
This is something I can't understand when I listen to the actors reading their scripts.
Simple answer: Because we have a democrat president in charge! Democrats receive lion’s share of cotes from those types of voters. And republicans are controlled by their rich donors who also want the cheap labor express.
