Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) plans on nominating Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as the next Speaker of the House, a new report says.
Gowdy will speak on behalf of Ryan to the House GOP conference Wednesday, according to CNN.
Reps. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) and Kristi Noem (R-S.D.) are also delivering speeches backing Ryan. Ryan will be the heavy favorite when the House GOP votes Wednesday on a nominee for Speaker. Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) remains Ryan's on competition.
Wednesday’s winner will face a vote of approval from the full House chamber Thursday.
The victor will replace Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) following his departure from Congress at week’s end.

Trump will grind the House to bits, if they try to oppose him.
If he gets in and tries to implement policy and the Republicans refuse, he’ll go right to the public. Within two years, you’ll see many of the Republicans swapped out. By the end of Trump’s first term, he’ll either have his policies enacted or the Republicans in the House will be almost all new people.
Ryan will be another flounder on our ship’s deck.
“If he gets in and tries to implement policy and the Republicans refuse, he’ll go right to the public.”
I’m sure the traitorous GOPe leaders know this too, and they don’t know what to do. They may be bankrolling Carson as a last resort now.
Looking forward to it. He is worse than The Drunk.
One pro-amnesty RINO nominates another
Paul Ryan’s pants are on fire hanging from a telephone wire......
Gutierrez, Gowdy, Ryan and Chaffetz are all close friends.
Oh, I am far from being a "leftist." In fact, that is doubtless why I vote Republican--almost always.
That "one definition of conservatism," according to Dictionary.com, is "the disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change."
The Merriam-Webster online dictionary gives a slightly expanded definition of the word: "a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change; specifically : such a philosophy calling for lower taxes, limited government regulation of business and investing, a strong national defense, and individual financial responsibility for personal needs (as retirement income or health-care coverage[.]"
Do you have a different definition of it?
Yes, The one the founders enshrined in 2 documents. Covers all the bases.
No, I do not have "a tingle in [my] leg" for any candidate--including Jeb Bush. In fact, I would prefer most Republican candidates to him.
But I would vastly--vastly--prefer Jeb Bush to Hillary Clinton, (the socialist) Bernie Sanders, or Martin O'Malley; who, I believe, are the only remaining candidates on the Democratic side. In fact, I would prefer Jeb Bush to any of the erstwhile Democratic candidates (although Jim Webb is a much closer call).
But the far right has a very simplistic view here--there are "good" candidates" and "bad" candidates--and all in the latter category are equally bad...
The only ones I could never vote for are those who push amnesty and for immigrants such as these Syrians.
Yeah, ol’ Trey and Darrell really scorched the earth with their lawyerly fecklessness. Nothing whatsoever happened to Lerner, Gruber, Clinton, any of them. They achieved nothing.
GOPe/ruling class/exempt/elite laughing at us behind our backs.
What do you expect from a grad of SC Law?
I do not view anything as a truly disqualifying issue (unless, of course, one were very weak on the matter of national security).
Rather, I much prefer to weigh and balance a candidate's position on all of the issues; in addition to his (or her) temperament.
The great thing is that whether my top choice wins, or your top choice wins, I'll feel like a winner.
Dittos, FRiend ;-)
You are correct sir, In previous posts I have intimated that all the players had not put their cards on the table
Yet..
They are now, and we can see beyond the words just who is who...
With all of the pomp and circumstance Politics is like Elephants mating, lots of trumpeting and shaking the ground and all the screwing goes on at high levels
Here is a video of Congress in action fighting over the Budget bill and the final resolution...

And on FNC tonight, Steve Hayes--a columnist for The Weekly Standard (which is a right-leaning magazine)--also acknowledged that Paul Ryan is a conservative.
Why some people continue to insist that Paul Ryan is a mere "RINO" is utterly beyond me. (Unless, of course, those people are a part of the far-right fringe.)
