Ryan faces heat back home in Wisconsin

Sky high expectations have proven a curse for the Republican House leader.

RACINE, Wis. — The pride of Wisconsin got an earful back home.

House Speaker Paul Ryan remains undeniably popular in his home state. He routed a Donald Trump-inspired primary challenger last year to win reelection. Yet the shortcomings of an all-Republican Washington this year have drawn disapproval from voters across the political spectrum, and it was all too evident at a nationally televised town hall here on Monday night.

“I had high hopes since you're the speaker and my congressional representative. How have you not been successful up until this point as a leader to get this done like you promised?” asked Kevin Mathewson of Kenosha, pressing Ryan on why Republicans haven’t passed an Obamacare repeal bill despite party control of Congress.

Others at the CNN town hall were even more pointed when they weren't on camera.

Not his fault ... he quickly passed a half-baked bill on to the Senate.   :silly:

They voted for him knowing full well what he was all about. Now they whine about it.

Does anyone here remember "Anyone but (Tom) Foley" back in 1994?

Time for a repeat.

Sky high expectations?  They promised ACA repeal and failed to deliver.  His job would have been very safe if he had done that ONE thing.
