re: #142 Targetpractice

Should I really need to point out that the GOP tried that with Ryan and he’s been an absolute disaster as a Speaker? No offense, but if there’s someone younger who can command the same level of respect as Pelosi can, then they are welcome to throw their hat into the ring.

Ryan never wanted the job though. There’s been plenty of reporting on that. He told the GOP caucus from the beginning that he wasn’t going to do the fundraising and other extracirculars that come with being Speaker. And as a result, he’s been terrible at the job.
