    There was an interesting interview over on the Beeb about this. Basically, Ryan laid down conditions which included suspension of the "cocked pistol" motion and unanimous approval of him among Republicans so that Freedom Caucus members couldn't grandstand on the vote. The latter seemed to be the sticking point (no kidding).

      Well, it just continues the band-aiding of the GOP. Personally I want them to go all-in finally so we can flush this crap out of the system. But, they never do. They keep placating the psychos just enough to keep things the way they are.

          Sounds like Ryan is making them an offer they can refuse, so he gets to walk way with clean hands.

              Interesting piece on the Cruz debt ceiling trainwreck.

              His plan is obvious: ride the front pages during a stoppage, get the base all in a lather, and soak up all the Trump and Carson voters when they crash and burn. If the whole thing turns into a fiasco he hasn't lost anything. He can always just withdraw from the presidential race, and his followers are too innumerate to ever understand he's the one to blame.

                  Jebbers! has too much family baggage to overcome. If Trump can be stopped, their man is going to be Rubio. He's right there in 3rd place, so basically where Romney was for most of the 2012 nomination cycle while he waited out Cain, Perry, and the rest of the derp squad. He has all the establishment platitudes, the coiffed hair, will likely deliver Florida, and is just brown enough for the GOP to be able to play the diversity card.

                    Rubio is an empty suit. If he gets then nod then the GOP is going to be destroyed in the general. Destroyed.

                        Considering Obama's troll-fu, I half expect him to say "Paul Ryan is a good guy that I could work with", just to watch the House combust into flames.

                            Looks like the nutter caucus has agreed to a cease fire. How long does Ryan's honeymoon last?
