After what just happened, why would the FC not call for Ryan’s ouster? If Ryancare was so bad [it was] then why are they not already pushing for a better/more conservative Speaker?
I know the answer and you know the answer.
Most of the HFC is already on Ryan’s side, just playing the bad cop in order to ensure that nothing whatsoever gets done.
If they’d had a mind to do it, they could have engaged in negotiations in order to get more of what they wanted, but I personally didn’t see much in the way of negotiation. The deal could have still fallen through and probably would have, but they could have at least set up future bills to be more conservative.
IF they believed what they were saying.
Most of them apparently don’t.
Because, by themselves, the Freedom Caucus lacks the votes to evict Ryan. Period!
And that’s unfortunate for us all.

Great question?
Was he part of their plan?
