Speaking of blowing.

Paul Ryan sucks.

I am now wondering how long he is going to last as Speaker. I get the feeling he is not going to be enough of whatever to satisfy the pack of wolves he works for and he doesn’t have the “bite” of Boehner to put people in their place. I think he will just grow frustrated with it all and pack it in.

I agree: I’ve been wondering, regardless of what happens with the Presidency and the Senate, if the House Republicans in the 115th Congress aren’t going to [at least try to] stage some sort of internal coup to replace Ryan with a “true conservative” Speaker - i.e., a firebreathing Teabagger true-believer - who will make it his Mission to make absolutely sure that the House Of Representatives is even more ideologically radical, more obstructionist, more unproductive and more hostile to a (presumed) Clinton Administration than any of their predecessors were to President Obama. Paul Ryan is, of course, Teh Suck, and a second-rate Speaker at best, BUT… Speaker Steve King, anyone?
