Push to delay speaker election puts Ryan in political jam
Source: CNN
Washington (CNN)In a renewed push that could put House Speaker Paul Ryan in a political jam, conservatives in the House are circulating a letter urging Republican leaders to delay the election that will determine whether Ryan keeps his gavel in the next Congress.
House GOP members traditionally vote on top leadership positions the week following the election, but a bloc of members are arguing that vote shouldn't happen until December, after Congress deals with a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown and addresses other business.
"We really should delay those leadership races for further on in December, or at least late November, to give all the newly elected members of Congress the chance to get to know people," North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows told CNN in a phone interview on Friday.
Members of the Freedom Caucus are reaching out to other factions inside the GOP conference in an effort to demonstrate broader support across the ideological spectrum for postponing the vote, which is slated for mid-November, barely a week after Congress returns and digests the results of the presidential race.

Just a reminder that many House Republicans support Trump far more strongly than Ryan. Trump is the true face of the Republican Party.

I couldn't be any happier, I hope they are pi****g in there pants right now.
They have used the government that they have railed against to attack Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, voting, trade, unemployment benefits, feeding children, polluting water, food, air, etc.... making $174,000 and $223,000 a year and doing nothing, except stop gap spending that includes language to gut and cut more programs. And now they have the head Clown proposing that for every regulation that he will eliminate two of them, for starters. Whats he going to start with stop lights?
And what are they whining about, they aren't whining that they have "only been working" for the entire 2016 year only 111 days out of 365, nope they are pissed off at a "guy" that is promoting Ayn Rand Ryan and The Manifest Destiny and the Doctrine of Discovery with such lackeys as the Koch's and Art Pope's and Robert Mercers, Sheldon Addison's of the world, and this "guy" along with the entire party and its platform supports this dumpster, serial predator, and trying to have it both ways--------------not happening.
Not one of these pukes are saying anything about how a Wisconsin sheriff in North Dakota mind you, is standing over and beside a sheriff accosting a Indigenous Woman because she wants her sacred land ( of her ancestors to be respected with the equality of European ones that are buried in Bismark), and the water we all need to live on to be protected, but she will be getting ready to be thrown into jail and stripped searched like she is some dog, instead of asking about her Constitutional rights, Sovereign Rights---------------nope, they are worried about some ass**** that doesn't give one iota about that young woman, except for greed.
So FU republicans and the enablers of racist bigots and fraud scam artists and your party and it's platform, starting with the head clown, Eddie Munster, Turtle Lips
Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-------------------your losers
