WASHINGTON House Republicans renominated Speaker Paul D. Ryan as their leader on Tuesday, quieting rumors of an initial revolt in the party in the wake of feuding between Mr. Ryan and President-elect Donald J. Trump while Democrats grappled with their own potential insurrection.
To retain the speakers job, Mr. Ryan, of Wisconsin, will still have to clear a vote by the full House when the new Congress assembles in January when he must win at least 218 votes. With the results of a few contests outstanding, Republicans will hold at least 239 seats, leaving a relatively healthy margin for dissent in their ranks. The House Republicans said in a Twitter message that Ryans selection was unanimous.
But Mr. Ryan will have more than his contentious relationship with Mr. Trump to navigate. Stephen K. Bannon, the former chairman of Breitbart News, whom Mr. Trump named as his chief strategist, is a longtime critic of Mr. Ryan.
Though he endorsed Mr. Trump and urged Americans to vote for him in the days leading up to the lection, Mr. Ryan repeatedly criticized Mr. Trumps more inflammatory statements during the campaign, once criticizing his proposed ban on Muslims as not what this country stands for. After the release of a 2005 recording in which Mr. Trump boasted in vulgar terms about sexually assaulting women, Mr. Ryan disinvited him to a planned joint appearance in Wisconsin and told Republicans he would no longer defend him nor campaign for him. Mr. Trump had said privately before his victory that Mr. Ryan should be punished for not offering his full support.

“and Freepers were against me when I stated that Priebus is the worst pick that Trump did so far...”
Without Priebus, it would be president-elect Hillary.
Agreed. With Priebus one sees a change in demeanor, effort, and attitude. We saw the support.
With ratfaced Ryan, we saw the last minute treacheries and impotence. Ryan is just another iteration of Smeagol, sneaking into camp after dark and mewling about the nice hobbitses.
Well let me ask you this:
“WAS TRUMP ALLOWED TO VOTE IN PUTTING RYAN BACK IN?”
“HAS THE VOTE BEEN TAKEN YET, OR DOES IT COME NEXT WEEK?”....
I hope you’re right......Ryan needs to be sent to the back row!
Sure hope Trump is watching his back. There will new stabs daily.

Ryan promised 'regular order' and a budget THIS year and did not keep his promise. If Ryan had kept his budget promise, maybe ... just maybe I'd consider giving him some slack. He did not keep his promise and it's a BIG dang deal with me (& some other Freedom Caucus members, too).
Speaker Ryan promised last year that if elected, he would adhere to regular order. It didn't happen. Instead we find ourselves in a lame-duck budget process with Obama at the negotiating table right before Christmas. Is this what the American people want?
This year, the House didn't even vote on a budget. Instead, we proceeded directly to appropriations bills, spending taxpayer money at an unprecedented $1.07 trillion. This, despite Republican control of both the Senate and the House. The deficit for this year alone is in the $600 billion range.
