Ryan must have a buttload of insurance money or something now in his campaign chest now. Betray your country so blatantly isn’t something that gets thrown down the toilet cheaply.

Stopped watching Chris Wallace and Cavuto. They constantly interrupt the ‘guests’. Ryan is in it for Ryan, he needs to go.

Said it before and I'm saying it again: Paul Ryan wanted that bill to fail so he made sure it would. He wanted Trump to get the blame, got that too. Now he get to see Trump try to purge the conservatives from Congress, another win for Paul Ryan.

I used to like that guy circa 2011, I can't stand him any more than John Boehner now.

Ryan hasn't supported Trump from day one...even up to the present date.

Ryan has illusions of grandeur.

You mean all the stories being repeated on Free Republic by the RINO cheering section were false?

Since his he is loved in his Wisconsin district and cannot be Primaried, the only chance of getting rid of him is for some other Congress critter to step up and have the votes to replace him as Speaker. Else he will remain.

I’m a proud supporter of President Trump and MAGA. However, that does not mean I must support each and every idea he supports -— even if the idea is disastrously wrong. Ryan Care, as it was originally written was a DISASTER! Medical insurance costs would have soared (above the already soaring Obamacare premium costs) in the near term (i.e., 2018 & 2019) and Republicans & Trump would OWN THESE SOARING COSTS TO VOTERS. We would pay a heavy price for them in the 2018 & 2020 elections with a good likelihood of the ‘RATS returning to power. Below is a link to the Congressional Budget Office’s “scoring” of Ryan Care costs (using, mind you, the rosy assumptions that snake-in-the-grass Ryan told them to use).
...............................................................................................................
https://www.cbo.gov/system/files/115th-congress-2017-2018/costestimate/americanhealthcareact.pdf
“...Effects on Premiums:...

... In 2018 and 2019, according to CBO and JCT’s estimates, average premiums for single policyholders in the nongroup market would be 15 percent to 20 percent higher than under current law,...

...By 2026, average premiums for single policyholders in the nongroup market under the legislation would be roughly 10 percent lower than under current law, CBO and JCT estimate....”
........................................................................................................

Members of the Freedom Caucus have simply been trying to have Ryan Care modified so that it incorporates changes that will drive down costs of both medical care & insurance premiums. They have succeeded in getting a number of cost reduction changes incorporated and that process continues. THAT IS NOT A BAD THING -— EXCEPT PERHAPS TO THE MINDLESS, BLIND OBEDIENCE FOLLOWERS IN THE CULT-OF-PERSONALITY.

Have patience, on our first attempt to Cantorize the weasel Eric Cantor we fell short by similar numbers to what Ryan got in this last primary.
We got him the next time.

I wonder what Trump’s flexibility is? Will he actually allow for true insurance to be offered? The kind you have to buy before you are sick? The kind that does not require the insurance company to cover your 26 year old child? Does he still have to provide health care for everyone, that is low cost to everyone, that takes care of everyone, and that is Beautiful?

If he is still sticking to his original talking points then there isn’t much for Ryan to do except offer different versions of O’care light.

Looks like we are stuck with Ryan. No one wanted the job, even Ryan, when Bohner resigned. The Repubs had to ‘force’ Ryan to take the speaker position.

I will put faith in your words though.
