Ryan has little margin for error in Speaker vote

TheHill-

Republican lawmakers who voted against Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for Speaker aren’t saying whether they’ll vote for him in a new election next year.

Nine House Republicans rejected Ryan in the special election to replace Speaker John Boehner(R-Ohio) one year ago Saturday.

Eight of them will have a chance to vote for Ryan again.

Rep. Dave Brat (Va.), one of the eight, said his public criticisms of Ryan have never been personal.

Like he did last year, Brat plans to present all leadership candidates five policy requests on things like trade, immigration and regular order. He’ll support those candidates who pledge to uphold those policies.

“Whoever signs off on those, I’ll vote yes,” Brat said.

Reps. Randy Weber (Texas), Ted Yoho (Fla.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Louie Gohmert (Texas), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Walter Jones (N.C.), Bill Posey (Fla.) and Curt Clawson (Fla.) are the other Republicans who voted for Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.) in last year’s vote.

  1. The reports are hitting of voter machine fraud in several key states. Texas voters report using the straight ticket option only to see it flip to democrat in front of their eyes, repeatedly. In another state, one republican up for re-election tried to vote for himself, only to have it flip to his democrat opponent. Every vote counting machine in this nation should be torched and none bought to replace it! Filthy bitch Hitllery cannot win without stealing. People are getting so riled up against the banana republic Clintons that we want to help Trump every way we can. If those scum think stealing the election outright will go unchallenged, better think again, Hills. We are onto you and every sordid aspect of your seething lying carcass.

    Yep. Hanover. I was one of his volunteer drivers during first campaign. Spent many hours with him, but I knew him for years before the Cantor take down.

    Did you go to OktoBratFest last week? I was there. Maybe we brushed elbows without knowing each other.
