Republicans begin search to replace Paul Ryan

Paul Ryan has shown, beyond a reasonable doubt that he has no leadership skills. The whole RyanCARE debacle is now forcing Republicans to search for someone to replace the weak RINO Paul Ryan. The House Freedom Caucus deserves the praise for forcing Ryan to kill RyanCARE. It was nothing more than welfare for insurance companies, basically that’s all Ryan knows. It’s time for Paul Ryan to vacate the Speaker’s chair and let someone become Speaker who could actually handle the duties needed to be dealt with. At this point, I’d even take Newt Gingrich over Ryan, as the Speaker of the House does not need to be currently in Congress.

Republicans begin search to replace Paul Ryan

Republican officials in Congress and the White House are now openly discussing finding a GOP replacement to Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) as Speaker of the House, after Ryan failed to pass the American Health Care Act out of the House and misled the public and President Donald Trump when he promised repeatedly the bill would pass.
Ryan was caught on an audio file from October—obtained by Breitbart News and published a couple weeks ago—saying he is “not going to defend Donald Trump—not now, not in the future.” While the audio file does not make the comments clear, Ryan’s staff later claimed that it was specifically about the Access Hollywood tape scandal from the election. The audio tape of Ryan, recorded from a House GOP members’ conference call, does not make that context clear.

Many allies of the president and several White House officials over the weeks since have confirmed to Breitbart News that the president is concerned that Ryan may not have his—or his agenda’s—best interests at heart. Ryan’s failure to deliver the votes on healthcare cement Trump’s skepticism of Ryan, they say.

“This is another example of the staff not serving the president well and the weakness of the Paul Ryan speakership,” a source close to President Trump told Breitbart News. “This calls into question once again the speaker’s commitment to supporting Donald Trump and his agenda.”

“Speaker Ryan proved today that he does not have the best interests of the President at heart,” said another source close to the president. “He sold out the president and showed his word can be taken with a grain of salt. There is only one course of action that should be taken to move past this catastrophe and that is the swift removal of Paul Ryan from the speakership.”
