Same reason term limits will never fly with these guys, either. We The People oughtta do something about this state of affairs. Too bad about all swamps: the aligators call all the shots.

I didn't like Ryan from the moment he replaced the equally worthless Boehner. <br /><br />And I have no doubt that he will drag his feet on everything put to the House. I would like all their pay stopped until they start working for the American People.<br /><br />And it is way past time for Trump to drain the swamp.LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-41537362598456736702017-04-18T08:28:56.796-07:002017-04-18T08:28:56.796-07:00I don't think that Ryan is lazy, but as with m...I don't think that Ryan is lazy, but as with most politicians now in office, it would have been better if he'd done something other than go to college and then straight into politics. I realize that he had a few low level jobs, but the Rex Tillersons of this world are the sort of people who need to be like Cincinatus, lay down the plow and serve a few years in elected office and then go back to work. <br /><br />LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-62603722563100669192017-04-18T07:08:56.919-07:002017-04-18T07:08:56.919-07:00We'll see how well The Donald can herd these c...We'll see how well The Donald can herd these cats, but Paul Ryan is dead set against any herding efforts. He's touted himself as the best deal maker ever, but so far he's convinced nobody except Ivanka and Eric Trump of that reputation.<br /><br />Time for heads to roll, if you ask me. Draining the swamp requires killing a frog or two.Freddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778430453468720627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4302795000497411021.post-68070278045191045212017-04-18T05:45:01.574-07:002017-04-18T05:45:01.574-07:00Speaker Ryan hated Donald Trump from the get-go an...Speaker Ryan hated Donald Trump from the get-go and had very harsh words for candidate Trump. Now he's President Trump, Ryan still harbors the notion (that Mitt put into his head) that he'd be a better president. But he's still that guy from a jerk-water town in Wisconsin whose not ready for prime time.<br /><br />Naturally, the inactivity on the part of the House will lead to them losing seats as the base is disenchanted with the swamp and starts trying out Democrats to see if they (led by Nancy Pelosi - who needs to shed that hideous mask she wears) will do any better. But they're infinitely worse.<br /><br />LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538854359365988863noreply@blogger.com
