We know that what you just posted is true precisely because there have been no FC calls for Ryan’s ouster. Either they have principles or they don’t. Either they lead or they don’t. Right now conservative principles say Ryan is the problem. Leadership says to spearhead the effort to remove him.
Just as soon as the FC starts leading the charge for a more conservative Speaker, I’ll be their biggest cheerleader.
But not before.
Question, didn’t they not want him as speaker the first time? The whole congress votes for speaker. How would 30+\- out vote the rest of the GOPe congress? Didn’t a congress person who didn’t want Boehner as speaker get their office relocated to a coat check room.

So, in your fantasy, how many RINO/CINO votes are you planning to bring to the effort? Much to the detriment of America, the Freedom Caucus is a small minority in the house. Most of the RINOs & CINOs campaign as if they would be Freedom Caucus members but, sure as hell, don’t vote that way after they’re elected.
Ryan, the Chamber of Commerce, all the RINOs & ‘RATS are going to end up giving us Amnesty, GIANT doors in whatever walls are built and a bigger welfare state. But you, and many others here, do not have the vision to see where this is headed.
