Ryan ‘frustrated’ and ‘perplexed’ by Senate backlog

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??

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

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.
