House Republicans unanimously back Paul Ryan for another term as speaker

@madmaximus  Ryan is a lame duck Speaker...just wait until January 2017.

Is that when the Orange Shirts are going to take Ryan out back and shoot him?

I'm curious, what does the phrase "Paul Ryan was unanimously chosen for another term as House speaker," mean to you?

Or perhaps English isn't your first language.

Remember when Ryan was definitely going to be out as speaker?

Some of the dumber ones at the TOS believe if they just call republicans in the house that they will vote against him in January.  Either that or they think that the Donald will make them vote against him.

I'm not a huge fan of Ryan but if it gets their panties in a twist then it makes me smile.  They are delusional enough to believe that the Donald actually cares what they want.

They think that now that Trump won he is going to get even, do everything he said he was going to do and rule as a non-liberal. The only thing I'm hoping for is that actual conservatives are placed on SCOTUS. All else would be gravy.

First Priebus, now Ryan.

Thus far, the swamp seems to be doing just fine.

Yea well Reasons and stuff. Draining the swamp was pre election truth. Now we have to Reasons because if we reasons, then reasons.

See? All perfectly understandable.

According to the Branch Trumpians Trump was going to excoriate Ryan and drive him from office.

Trump mind-controlled them all to do this.  It's part of his ten-dimensional chess.  You just don't understand.

November 15, 2016

Speaker Paul Ryan unanimously won his GOP colleagues’ votes on Tuesday for another term at the helm of the House. He told fellow Republicans he had President-elect Donald Trump’s support, and heralded “the dawn of a new, unified Republican government.”

While victory was the GOP unifier, Democrats were verging on disarray. House Democrats abruptly announced Tuesday that they were delaying their own leadership elections set for Thursday until Nov. 30 to give lawmakers more time to process disastrous election results.

Ryan gave a great speech after Trump won the election...now if he will only deliver things would be looking upward.

Hey. I thought that Ryan was going to get thrown out of his gig. All the #AlwaysTrumpers said so.
