Ok, this is great.
However, can we please make sure the person doing the “primarying” of Ryan is at least vetted enough to ensure they are an actual conservative and aren’t going to stray once they get to DC?
Honestly, the Tea Party has a poor history at vetting candidates to take on the Establishment. They need to do a better job so there’s not another repeat of someone saying they’ll do something if elected, then join the Carter (Rubio, Ernst, Ayotte, Mia Love, Ron Johnson, Scott Brown,etc)

Yes, and let’s not also forget the four rececent TP Senate candidates who lost key elections because while they may have been “conservsative,” they had, let us say “quirky views” that when known to the voters, they lost. (i.e. Angle, O’Donnell, Akin and Mourdock)
Once they move to DC, they are possessed by an alien operating system.
The idea is to get rino Ryan out of the speakership.
Best option, articulate, likable, principled conservative.
Second option. Another republican that can beat Ryan in the primary.
Third option. A newbie backbencher Dem.
All options are better than speaker Ryan.
Ideal but I'll take the alternative as opposed to keeping Ryan. Primarying Ryan is enough to put fear into the entire caucus that they'll lose their jobs if they blow it. The message is clear: even if RINO lie their heads off in the primary election they'll end up single-termers. There is thus little to gain and a lot to lose by drifting to the center. That message will do wonders for the entire party on every vote.
Hence, I'd contribute money to Ryan's primary opponent and I don't care who it is.
Doesn’t matter if Ryan wins the primary.
Vote for the democrat in the general
Either way he’s gone
The seat is expendable
Eff with the right, pay the consequences
It doesn’t matter who gets voted in. They get absorbed and corrupted within a year or two now.
It seems to me that very few politicians get ahead who are not bought and paid for.I know some do but not near enough to make a difference.I keep thinking back to dennis hasstert.They knew the dirt on that sick bastard and yet he became speaker and while speaker did nothing to advance the conservative agenda.Things that make you go HMMM.
Most of us would have thought Ernst would have been sincere, but apparently she is a phony too. I don’t know for sure. We know WI Ron Johnson turned phony and is now a sure loser next November.
