The new speaker will not be doing anything until a new president is elected anyway. It would be nice if they voted on some symbolic measures though.
True,tell ya bud if we don’t want Ryan we better speak up and soon.
The sentiment is that Ryan is amenable to procedural changes, if not in complete agreement with all Freedom/TP policies.
I suspect Conservatives would be happy with a fair fight, and that they very well might succeed in some of those fights, if given a chance. Therefore, it's not necessary (nor possible, likely, obstructionist) to insist the speaker is in lockstep.
I think it's a wise position. I'd love to see a guy like Louie Gohmert as speaker, but that's not happening. Webster is totally a process guy, and has support for that reason. Chaffetz has not been forgiven for penalizing party insubordination on committee assignments, even though he recanted.
