Friday’s Healthcare Bill Fiasco Is Proof Positive That Paul Ryan Needs To Be Replaced…Immediately

Before It's News ~ March 24, 2017

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 e******n. 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 v**es 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.”

White House sources tell Breitbart News that the president is very frustrated with Ryan and feels that he has saved him multiple times already. After the e******n in November, it was widely reported that there were enough Republican v**es to remove Ryan as Speaker—and the only reason conservatives kept him is that T***p w*n the e******n and embraced Ryan. But now Trump may perceive Ryan as a burden rather than someone who can help enact his agenda.

A senior Senate GOP aide questioned whether Ryan has the chops to continue in the position.

“A tale as old as time, our establishment leadership continue advocating for moderate pieces of legislation after ignoring conservative input,” the Senate aide said. “How can President Donald Trump trust Speaker Paul Ryan in the future after this failure? If he couldn’t deliver on something so simple as repealing Obamacare, will he be able to deliver on complex pieces of legislation?”

House Republicans are also questioning whether Paul Ryan can remain as Speaker after this abysmal failure.

“If Speaker Ryan cannot pass his RyanCare plan and negotiations had to be taken to the Oval Office by non-leadership members of the conference, it is certainly time to evaluate his effectiveness as the Speaker of the House,” a senior House GOP aide told Breitbart News.

Senior aides from at least seven House GOP offices—only two from the House Freedom Caucus—tell Breitbart News that there is significant discussion conference-wide about a replacement to Ryan as Speaker of the House.

It has gotten so far along in the process that alternative names are being thrown around—anyone from House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), to former Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), to House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, to House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ)—to Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and Peter Roskam (R-IL), according to one senior House GOP aide.

But nobody has yet emerged as an official challenger to Ryan, and it is unclear if anyone will. All of those names and more, aides say, would be more open to proactively supporting President Trump, something Ryan has repeatedly refused to do.

We have to rid ourselves of the establishment RINO types and get back to the founding fathers principles. I want these in congress and the senate to start working for we the people and not for the establishment. Support the elected president especially if he is from your party or if you can't do that then resign.

Ryan, near the head of a long list. McConnell, McCain, Collins, McKurski, Graham, etc. ,etc. The list is long and d********g. Self-serving corrupt snakes. Some used to be decent men, a very long time ago.

vernon-Ryan has much to learn. Ironically, both he and Trump bear responsibility for this bill's failure. Trump
was too hasty in wanting this done quickly. He learned a hard lesson in that the political process, at which he is
a neophyte, is not like what he is accustomed to in the business world. Gingrich had it correct when he said, "in
politics the test comes first and the lessons come later". Hopefully, this will slow Trump down so that legislation can be done correctly as opposed to rapidly. As for Ryan, he should have known that a 3 phase bill had little to no chance of passing in its entirety. He was counting on passing the skeleton bill with a simple majority v**e but needed 60 v**es in the Senate for phases 2 and 3. What are the odds of democrats providing the needed v**es if they were shut out of the initial process ? Like many of you, I am disappointed in Ryan and the way this bill was handled. Gingrich suggests a totally open forum, with participation from a broad spectrum, to debate and craft something this important. Let the American people see what is being proposed and by whom in lieu of a "behind closed door-dark of night bill" which is crafted by a select few. This is inning one of a nine inning game so relax and wait for the second inning. PS-Trump cannot dump Ryan who was elected by the people of Wisconsin. The House,
however, could remove him as speaker. Will they ?? America First !!!
