5, I disagree with him on a lot of things but he actually wants to govern and will compromise to do so. - spamlet Apr 21, 09:19 10
- I'll believe it when I see it. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 09:33 7
  - It will be interesting to watch. If he's serious about a 2020 run he's going to have to be seen as effective in his current position and that means - pmb Apr 21, 09:36 6
    - It would be pretty easy to do, if he had the balls or inclination - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 09:40 5
      - Or the Freedom Caucus does to him what they did to Boehner. He (and they) know that the Speakership rides on their support. -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 09:46 3
        
        He can make a deal with Dems to stay speaker, if he's truly interested in governing -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 10:04 2
        
        The Democrats have zero interest in making him Speaker. They'd be better off just letting the position be vacant and nothing get through. -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 10:07 1
        
        It depends how far he would be willing to work with them to actually pass bills, i.e., govern -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 10:11
      - I think either is more likely if Cruz is the nominee...it'll be the ultimate "You got exactly what you wanted and look" scenario. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 09:41
- For roughly the same reason I put him at a 3. I disagree with him on almost everything, but at least his tone is that he does not want to obstruct - pmb Apr 21, 09:27 1
  - To bad that position puts him at odds with the party he "leads". -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 09:34
2 or 3. Beholden to ideas and ideals that have proven unworkable and/or dangerous in the real world. Plus, he looks like Eddie Munster. -- nm - TWuG Apr 21, 09:18

1. I still laugh about Joe Biden making him look like a moron when I think about it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 09:16
1. He's a creepy Ayn Rand disciple, dishonest to a fault. -- nm - David Apr 21, 09:16
7-ish -- nm - ML Apr 21, 09:16 1
- Oh shit, sorry Paul -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 09:29
