How Negotiation really works.
Ryan wasn’t up to this job in the first place. He was past his sell-by date his first day on the job.
What you need is an experienced negotiator, someone who has a conservative bedrock yet is not anxious to sit in front of the TV cameras to puff up his or her ego. Someone who can talk and get a good deal. Not many of those available. Some folks have suggested Newt, I think he’s too much of a showboat. I’d suggest looking at Morgan Griffith, who was former Majority Leader of the House of Delegates in VA.
