Ryan ‘frustrated’ and ‘perplexed’ by Senate backlog
By Alexander Bolton - 09/28/17 03:18 PM EDT

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday said he and his House Republican colleagues are “frustrated” by a backlog of more than 270 House-passed bills in the Senate.

He also said that House Republicans are “perplexed” by arcane Senate rules that often require a week of floor time to pass relatively noncontroversial or procedural somersaults to avoid filibusters, which require 60 votes to end.

“We’re really frustrated. Look, we passed 373 bills here in the House — 270-some are still in the Senate,” Ryan told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Thursday morning.

The only solution for this logjam is to get good Senate candidates in the primary, win some D+10 or less margin seats from the Dems, and boot McConnell so that whoever his successor is will modernize the Senate rules.

Not holding my breath for that to happen.

Newsflash for Ryan; if you think you're frustrated, how do you think most of America feels??

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

A guy who obviously is not fit for the job. 

Get behind the scenes and make it happen, Paul or get the hell out of the way.
