(27,440 posts)One could hope. Looks like Ryan has lost a huge amount of support even among Republicans. Good. It's about time.
Now if they could just stop trying to repeal the ACA.

(20,135 posts)it will be impossible to repeal outright. People will become used to the benefits and not even conservatives will give them up.
Blanks
(4,835 posts)When all of them that have been working so hard to appeal it are up for re-election.
Maybe Ryan will be one of the ones that loses his seat. There's just something about him that annoys me.

(10,893 posts)They can't because the base craves the anti-Obama red meat.

(54,369 posts)There must be some kind of contest on to see who can embarrass Texas the worst in the shortest period of time, and Cruz knows that to beat Perry and Gohmert, he has a lot of lost time to make up for.

(23,796 posts)Cornyn voted for this and Cruz voted against it. Finally a wingnut bridge too far for John Cornyn.
