What, Ryan’s the only name on the ballot and NYT acts all surprised that FC backs the one name??
And what do Real Conservatives® want from The FC, anyway; a “no confidence” vote?
If there’s only one boat afloat, you’re on it or you swim with the fishes.
NYT, thy name be Rumpelstiltskin.
I guess I’m really, totally confused by this or it’s Fake News. Why did they not support Ryancare. I’m lost.
This was as stomach turning as is Kevin McCarthy now successfully charming Trump.
The only thing that will change the mentality in Congress, long term, is term limits. Trump understands this. But getting Congress to limit their own power is not an easy thing. Trump knows how to play the long game. His strategy seems to be to get some of dems to start aligning themselves with him at some point.
You have to remember that most politicians, of both parties, put personal self interest above ideology. If and when the looming scandals regarding the last administration break, it will likely be devestating for the Democrat brand. At that point there will be alot of shaken Dems looking to distance themselves from their party. Trump understands that and will reach out to them at that point. When that happens, he will have the leverage to start dealing with the GOP establishment more effectively.
I hope if and when that happens, Trump starts pushing term limits again. If Trump can get the dems who start aligning with him, to publicly support him on term limits it would shame the Republicans into supporting them. That`s my wish list, anyway.
*facepalm*
President Trump has good reason to distrust that bunch apparently.
Is that the “Freedom Caucus” or the “Freedom Cuckolds”, cause it sounds like the latter to me!
more like refilling the swamp to me.
Much better.
Paul Ryan continues as Speaker?
Big Mistake. Allan West for Speaker and Trey Gowdy as whip. Do it.
