Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Sunday said he agrees with President Trump that 2018 will be a "bloodbath" for Republicans if Congress does not pass legislation repealing and replacing ObamaCare.
“I do believe that if we don't keep our word to the people who sent us here, yeah,” Ryan told CBS News’s “Face the Nation,” when asked if he agreed with Trump’s reported comments about the 2018 midterm elections.

Hard to tell what you’re saying here, but Ryan is correct.
You do what you have the votes to do. If you don’t have enough votes to do everything you want, the correct procedure is NOT to do nothing and expect applause for your nothingness.
You do what you have the votes to do.
Oh, and it would help you folks if you would stop pretending you are Trump’s base. He is a populist, not a conservative. He was the only person who could have stopped Hillary and he did it telling those guys in the Rust Belt he would get companies to bring jobs back, even at higher labor costs.
That ain’t conservative. Those same Rust Belt guys voted Obama. They ain’t conservative.
Nobody else could have stopped her. You owe him.
Ditch this POA bill and start over. Let Ted head the new effort.
RINOs like Ryno don’t have the guts to pull the trigger?
Recall, conservatives hit town meetings and raised **** against O-care in 2010, but it was rammed down our throats anyway on Christmas eve.
To their credit, not a single GOPer voted for it, but they were outnumbered.
No excuses now—we gave them what they complained they needed: both houses and the WH.
And the SCOTUS, if they ever get around to claiming it.
This is their last hurrah if they can’t pull the trigger. The GOP will go the way of the whigs if they can’t use power.
“Hard to tell what you’re saying here”
What I posted was clear. What you posted is illiterate.
So long as it’s Ryan’s blood.
Ryan and other GOPe establishment leaders argument about future elections, is why we have so much distain for them. The time is now. Not 2018 elections. Ryan and others are only concerned about keeping their current positions in power.
Did you mean mullato #obama
Same bloodbath we faced if we nominated Donald Trump?
Same bloodbath we faced if we nominated Donald Trump?
Correctamundo. We will go to every primary and every election to remove every RAT.
Even if they have an "R" after their name.
Ryan will be exempt himself from any bloodbaths.
Power?
We?
The Gop has fewer seats than Reid had in 2009. 52 vs 60.
And You didn’t give Trump anything. The non-conservative, previously Obama voters in the Rust Belt gave it to him.
Ryan has offered up all that can pass the tiny majority that exists. Fail to pass it and you don’t win even more seats ( that might let you do more), no, you lose the tiny majority you have.
It seems like a chip was implanted in Ryan’s brain.
No deal; just repeal! NOW!!
Repeal Obamacare. The states that expanded Medicaid knew that the cost would be transitioned to them! This is true. As economy improves this will take care of itself! Get to the corp & tax issues!
Unfetter health plans to Service & sell across state lines. Unfetters their contracted providers as well! Let’s go!
Ryan is a globalist communist.
Ryan doesn’t give a damn about insurance all he cares is building his chance to run for President. He will run in 2020 against President Trump. Kill his bill if it makes it to your desk. We have to kick this fool off as Speaker and force him to go Republican instead of an acting communists Democrat.
>>Paul Ryan wants to undue Trump’s presidency<<
So, first we get all the carping about the GOP having eight years to put together a bill, and there’s no bill.
Then it turns out that there actually is a bill, and in less than 50 days in office at that, and now the carping is that it’s the wrong bill, even though it obviously unwinds all of the oppressive features of Obamacare. All of them.
I look forward to the day when the Dems start claiming that it was their bill all along because the public is so happy with the results. And all they’ll have to do is point to all the conservatives who were against it.
Try getting past the “lyin’ Ryan” meme and consider what this bill, combined with Price’s regulatory assault, can do to swing the healthcare markets back toward something a free society should prefer.
Ever read Mary Shelley’s story, “Frankenstein?” A man built a living creature from the dead and it broke loose and hurt/killed people.
Well, under the guise of healthcare a welfare program was created. It has now broken its restraints and is harming as it is destroying medicare and social security funds harming seniors and the disabled, and making it impossible for more people to afford it as time goes on and the lies about it come into focus.
It is not as much the fault of the local people as they ignored the mad scientist. It is more the fault of the scientists that created it and, under cover, turned it loose. It was lied about as a revolutionary program to improve healthcare and assist the locals with eternal health life.
But we all know how it ended, at least from Universal Studios. The creation was destroyed after many were hurt and the windmill they so dearly needed to grind their grain was burned to the ground. They had to start all over again and pray another monster was not created and that they could redo their lives before others died from the aftermath of starvation and their ignoring the problem to begin with.
Many will suffer. And the bad part is that what they had for healthcare back in the 1950’s would have worked until the mad scientists, (the politicians), created the monster over the years to make it better. And they were wrong. And we can only hope the locals recognized it and let it die. But we can probably expect enough of the locals will want another eternal health monster or they will kill the scientists. (Vote them out) And more will die, broke and sick.
The end

Ryan, your such a political whore!!! You have it backwards. If you don’t repel Obamacare there will be a bloodbath against RHINOS.
