Donald Trump and Paul Ryan share common ground on at least one thing repealing and replacing Obamacare posthaste.
A guest on conservative host Hugh Hewitt's radio program, Ryan on Wednesday fully endorsed Trump's call for a special session of Congress after Trump wins the election next week.
"Imagine if we had a Republican president," Ryan told Hewitt. "This is what Donald Trump is talking about. A special session, we've already proven this year with a Republican House and a Republican Senate we can have that special session, and we can repeal, and we can replace Obamacare.
It's unclear why a special session would be required, since Congress convenes in January, long before the new president's inauguration.

OMG! DId I just see a pig fly past my window???
Obama a failure? Hardly. He is one of the most successful politicians in modern American history.
His agenda to systematically destroy our culture, our economy, and our military went off like clockwork. We all knew what he was doing - yet none of us individually, collectively, or through our representatives could stop him.
I’d call that mighty successful!
As for Paul Ryan - he’s shown his true colors and cannot be trusted.
Ryan does not have the mettle to rise up to the challenges that lie ahead for America; he needs to be replaced with someone who does have what it takes.
Therefore, Paul Ryan is best suited for manual labor.
This was bantered about back in the nineties with the hellerycare debates. The idea was to offer tax breaks to physicians in exchange for time donated to low income medical clinics.
I could not envision a downside.
The passage is not going to happen in a special session. The Senate will not pass and the President will veto.
Unless, the electors meet in December, elect Trump, he gets a judge to swear him in and he becomes President while the current congress is sitting. The Senate goes nuclear and presents the bill passed by both Houses before Christmas
It will be Dr Ben’s task to receive all the various existing Republican proposals and forge them into something that will pass.
I like Ben, but that’s as far as it goes for me.
I’m not that impressed with his energy level or business acumen.
