Unlike you, I'm unwilling to give Ryan the benefit of the doubt in terms of his willingness to do unethical things to appease the wingnut faction of his caucus. His unwillingness to remove the thoroughly unethical and dishonest Devin Nunes from his chairmanship of the Intelligence Committee is a case in point.

But Ryan terminated the House Chaplain without an explanation.
Wonder why.

(CNN)At least two Republican House members confronted Speaker Paul Ryan onFriday morning at their caucus meeting over the firing of the House chaplain, multiple Republicans coming out of the meeting Friday told CNN.
One of the members who brought up concerns was New York Republican Rep. Pete King, who said afterward that Ryan's explanation for asking the Rev. Pat Conroy, a Jesuit priest, to resign was "unsatisfactory." Both King and Ryan are Catholic.
"To me it was an unsatisfactory answer," King said. "It is such an unprecedented action to be to only be taken for very, very serious issues. And the speaker said it was just because certain people said he was not complying with their request or was not giving good counsel. I never heard that from anyone. Anyone who I know who deals with him has the highest regard for him."

A senior GOP aide said Conroy’s exit “was not because of any particular prayer."....

Maureen Dowd on this incident - "Ryan decided he could fire the House Chaplain because he realized that House Republicans had already sold their souls to Trump."

“There is still a lot of thinking on the right that if big corporations are happy, they’re going to take the money they’re saving and reinvest it in American workers. In fact they bought back shares, a few gave out bonuses; there’s no evidence whatsoever that the money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”

US economic growth slowed to 2.3 percent pace in Q1
Worst in five years. Poor Whell, still fervently believes Donny’s 4% promise...

Idiots like Whell will just label him a RINO, and continue on with their ignorance.

Rubio is adjusting for the hammering he took from the kids and their supporters.

Naw. Lil' Marco still thinks he's got a shot at the top job once Trump is cleaning toilets at Riker's.
