In response to "On a scale of 1-10, 1 being very negative and 10 being very positive, what's your impression of Paul Ryan?" by prayformojo

5, I disagree with him on a lot of things but he actually wants to govern and will compromise to do so.

He understands that 75% of what you want is a win.

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
