    My advice to Paul Ryan would be that it's time to quit being a nice guy with Trump. You're the Speaker.

        This should have been the modus operandi, even for trusting and think-good-of-everyone Ryan as of a couple weeks ago.

        Because of his crazy base. They'd rather have those votes than their integrity.

        Nancy Pelosi was a stronger Speaker than Paul Ryan and John Boehner put together. The Republicans need a strong Speaker. Ryan won't cut it.

        Except that Paul doesn't have a clue how to be anything other than a nice-guy. Trump at least knows the power of being a heel. Ryan no clue.

        Didn’t Trump and the Dems do the right thing on the debt limit? Houston relief is done instead of being bargained around over amendments.

        I understand that Trump & the Dems are happy w the politics of this and the GOP are not but I’m just glad the Harvey victims are not pawns.

        But for how much longer? Trump is actively trying to get Ryan removed.

        I don't know what he's waiting for. He has given up credibility, honor, political capital for this clown. @SpeakerRyan, what else is left?

        He could try passing some legislation and working with the Senate

        That only works if he sells Trump out. Otherwise, every time Trump undermines him, the bill is toast. See: ACA.
