Well, he is the only guy to propose a workable budget.
Maybe he'll champion that. |

All out civil war within the party and if Boehner is picking Paul Ryan for his side, then I want nothing to do with him.
Besides, the House needs true leadership and reluctance doesn't exactly check that box. |

I don't know if the old-school republicans don't get it or don't want to believe it when it comes to why the conservative base is pissed off at them. It's pretty simple: they have the majority in both the house and the senate...so why are they the ones worried about compromising? Now is (has been for a year) the time to run with the ball, not worry about what the (minority) other side will or will not agree to. HINT: the republicans don't need the other side to be in agreement...that's how the system works. |

I could get behind this:

"I could potentially be a candidate," he said in a separate interview on MSNBC. |

It will be a thankless job where everyone bitches about what you do. Representatives should reflect their constituency, and when they do not - they tend to get replaced. The Republican party swings from democrat (as apposed to left wing liberal democrat), all the way to libertarian. That is a broad path of different points of view to please.

Keep the funds flowing into Washington either through taxes or campaign contributions. |

The conservative caucus in the House has at best 60 votes. I'm not entirely sure just what they think they can accomplish when the don't even have a majority of the Republicans. And Ryan would be a fool to take the job. Frankly anyone would be a fool.

Sam Stein @samsteinhp
Rep. Luis Gutierrez says Paul Ryan would be a good Speaker and work w/ Dems. Then says he probably just hurt Ryan’s chances by saying that. ........... From my perspective, Ryan would be a bad choice. To my knowledge, no one in the House understands budgetary-type issues better than Ryan, and this, along with an apparently stellar personality, is the source of the high esteem in which he correctly is held.
However, when it comes to certain other issues, it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish Ryan from a bleeding-heart liberal. Immigration is an excellent example. In 2013, Ryan was highly sympathetic to the push for amnesty for illegal immigrants (though he objected to the term). In fact, he appeared at a pro-amnesty rally alongside liberal Democrat Luis Gutierrez, the most strident amnesty monger in the House. In addition, he pitched the alleged economic benefits of amnesty to his House colleagues. http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2015/10/will-paul-ryan-be-the-next-speaker-i-hope-not.php |
