Breitbart: During her opening statement on Fox News Channel’s “Justice,” host Jeanine Pirro ripped House Speaker Paul Ryan, calling for him to step down after his healthcare bill to replace Obamacare failed miserably.
“Paul Ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house,” Pirro began. “The reason? He failed to deliver the votes on his healthcare bill, the one trumpeted to repeal and replace Obamacare, the one that he had seven years to work on, the one he had under lock and key in the basement of Congress, the one that had to be pulled to prevent the embarrassment of not having enough votes to pass.” read the rest.

SNIP: And then there’s this:
Sean Spicer: Paul Ryan’s Fate as Speaker ‘Up to Members of the House’
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that Speaker Paul Ryan’s fate would be “up to members of the House” after the failure of the House Obamacare replacement bill.
Oh dear. This may get ugly for Ryan.
It’s probably rude, but I’m giggling.
A lot.
PRESIDENT Trump did say to do nothing about Obamacare would be great politically. If any good comes out of the bill not passing, THIS would be it. 😈
Paul Ryan step down? Two chances.
Ryan should do the right thing and see to it that ObolaCare is repealed, forthwith.
And then muster his conspirators to devise a more “transparent” crop of legislation to fuck the American people.
Do it piecemeal – one fucking at a time – so we can see how savagely the Bolshevik/Democrat/National Socialists tried to destroy America in one fell swoop.
There’s still plenty to steal, and plenty of time to steal it.
izlamo delenda est …
Seven years working on this bill behind closed doors with the Chamber of Commerce, Insurance companies and the healthcare industry wasn’t nearly enough time for Ryan to have a consensus among his own party (particularly when you don’t listen to legitimate concerns of your colleagues or the voters).
But he did post the proposed bill 2 1/2 weeks before he planned to bring it to the floor for other Congressmen to read it.
That’s the Pelosi Leadership strategy.
And Ryan wonders what happened? That’s not leadership.
Ryan received $20 Million dollars of contributions in a two year time frame, you don’t have to listen to anybody, except those who gave you $Millions.

I wish Trey Gowdy would reconsider taking the position if offered. I doubt his seat is in any danger from his constituents. The rest of the House worries about that more than what’s good for the country.
@Jerry Manderin
Just another example of elected representatives placing personal interests and Partisan Politics before National Interests. Don’t want to break a long held tradition of the Uni-party.
To quote Hillary, At this point, what difference does it make?
Either way it doesn’t affect Congress’ Golden, taxpayer provided healthcare coverage. They’re good to go (at our expense).
I seem to recall (shortly before or after the election) Paul Ryan saying that he would resign as house speaker if President Trump wanted him to…..am I remembering that correctly?
Remember that the Speaker does not have to be a member of the House. It can be anybody. My fantasy is Speaker Steve Bannon – not that that would be even remotely possible.
The Rs do not, and never did, want to repeal Obamacare.
Spoofer Ryan stabbed President Trump in the back!
Ryan has never been more than a snake in the grass. Boot him. That smirk on his face makes me want to slat the taste out of his mouth
like I said … this whole debacle could’ve been set up by Trump to get rid of Ryan
the repugnicans never had a plan during those 7 years … that much is obvious … all they did was use ObamaCare as a political ploy for contributions. they figured the Hildabeast was going to win anyway, so why bother to come up with a plan?
say what you want about the demonRats, but, even leaderless, they stick together … what was it Jesus said? “… if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand” … you can always count on repugnicans to form a circular firing squad
In My Time Of Ryan
@Ded Z ~ you could build a whole ‘album’ of Zeppelin of this debacle
‘Dazed And Confused’
‘Communication Breakdown’
‘How Many More Times’
‘Wearing And Tearing’
‘Hey, Hey What Can I Do’
‘Nobody’s Fault But Mine’
‘Good Times, Bad Times’
‘No Quarter’
‘What Is And What Should Never Be’
… & The Donald come in at the end w/
‘Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You’
The Pelosis gross worth QUADRUPLED during her time as Speaker.
Ryan would be a damned fool to give that up.
The opportunities for graft and corruption expand exponentially with that office – Ryan just has to learn how to spread it around, as Pelosi did.

Was this setup for ryno to be ousted, or a political
slap at Trump from the Rinos. This can be read a couple
of ways. I’d like to know the truth.
Yeah, well, you know what? Every politician can now just plain go fuck themselves.
0bamacare is ryancare. It changes nothing. Prices are going up and will continue to go up wether it passed or not. If it did, when were we going to get to phases 2 through 15? Sometime In 2019? Or 10 minutes BEFORE single payer?
Spare me.
The judge is never wrong
