@kausmickey Lots of assumin’ goin’ on out there…
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince OK, Mickey. Bless your heart.
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince McConnell should go too.
@kausmickey Individual members are being bombarded with demands not to put Ryan back up as Speaker. He’s loathed by the rank and file.
@kausmickey No way Reince would be party to knifing his fellow Wisco mafia brother in the back. Ryan will be Speaker
@kausmickey Never had problem with Ryan. That’s just politics. Has good ideas and now a President to sign off on them. Bad idea to drop him.
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince No one cares.
@kausmickey Translating that disgust into enough balls to do anything is another matter
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince I beleive Ryan is in real trouble for Speaker
@kausmickey So boring. Doesn’t project the energy or urgency brought about by Trump victory. Same with McConnell. New blood please.
@kausmickey Alas, grass roots don’t vote for Speaker
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince
Trump has already said he will save Ryan’s neck.
Oh, honest Iago…
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince If u want to crib-death Trump Presidency, start w Civil War against Ryan. Epically stupid idea.
@kausmickey Ryan’s landslide win against his primary challenger might be a strong trump card.
@kausmickey Best case scenario- Ryan sucks it up and helps enact the Trump agenda he loathes.
@kausmickey Its a mistake letting Ryan stay on as Speaker. He’ll do all he can to enact his own agendas & ignore the will of the people.
@MarkKrikorian @kausmickey continues his streaks of red-hot pre-election predictions.
@kausmickey @MarkSKrikorian True but let’s be realistic: nothing “conservative” about any of those power brokers.
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince very iffy and both know it
@kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince Well stop assuming. I have read that currently, he does not have the number he needs to win.
@TexasCB @kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince No civil war. House will decide. Who are you to tell others their ideas are stupid.
@pontevedragord @kausmickey @EmilyMiller @Reince Somone w common sense. Reince appt moots it since he is buddies w Ryan.
@kausmickey I’m with you. Ryan as Speaker gone by Easter.
