When i saw the tweet he put out, i upped my bet this was dead. If the chairman of the appropriations, the third most important job in the house, if hes voting against his speaker on this, then the whole world is, if you record this vote. Ime not sure they would be gotten 50 of the vote if they recorded it. People are talking about how bad paul ryan looks now. The one good thing paul ryan might have done as a politician and leader today is not make his members commit themselves one way or the other because they would all be paying for it one way or the other with nobody winning. Tom cotton, other republican senators kept using the phrase, walk the plank. Ryan didnt let his people walk the plank, take a vote they would pay for in the next election and never get it through the Senate Anyway or have it fail in the house today. Thats right. Incredibly dramatic day, but really, your point is so important, it all started with those people. Without those town halls, the video you showed last n
