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.

Be Patient, as this all unwinds it is like watching a company which is being acquired and all the folks are looking for a seat on the bus.

Let them all put their cards on the table, I am sure The Trumpinator sees all of this and is waiting like a gator in the weeds, he can outspend em but does not need to, at this point anti trump messaging will help more than hurt especially when he fires back

The Boy does not use a bb gun..

Didn’t know Gowdy supported Jebbers. Disappointing...again.

What does your comment have to do with this thread?

[Jane Long]

Ugh....and to think, not so long ago, FReepers were ga ga over Gowdy.

[Uncle Miltie]

Isn’t this supposed to come with a Barf Alert?

[PROCON]

Miltie, I thought that some titles are Barf Alert self-evident.

You know, like any thread title that starts:

Michelle Obama to vacation...

Or Hillary Clinton says...:-)

[WTFOVR]

Perhaps America will get lucky ....

Iran will develop a working nuclear device, Russia will provide Iran a long-range ICBM, and Iran will ....

Neither this dumb Hill article nor the CNN link, bothered to give any reason for Gowdy’s decision to nominate sell-out Paul Ryan.

[Guenevere]

If true......TRAITORS!!!!!

You are absolutely correct, there is no one willing to stand up for the American people who sent them to the US House in the first place and pays their wages! They work for the American people, they appear to have forgotten that long ago and are now nothing more than sock puppets for the Chamber of Communist and other special interest who have bought and paid for these House members!

God damn each and every one of them!
