VIDEO: Paul Ryan Wants Boehner To Bring Immigration Reform To A Vote Even If Most GOPers Don't Support It | ThinkProgress
Social Conservatives are fools if they remain in the Republican Party. How many times do these snakes have to betray us before we all figure this out?
QUESTIONER: One of the biggest frustrations were seeing right now is hearing Speaker Boehner, that hes going to follow the Hastert Rule. That hes not going to bring any of these bills forward unless they have a majority support of the majority party. Whats your position, should you maintain that?
RYAN: [...] Bringing these bills to the floor, well find out. It is not, they dont come to the floor unless we have a majority of the majority, because we dont know if we have a majority until we vote on it. So heres where I see things going. Ive spoken to John Boehner as recently as three days ago about this, which is, we all agree it is better to legislate in stages instead of one big thousand plus page bill that no one has read. [...] Im trying to get to a consensus so a majority of us do support those component parts. I believe thats achievable because when people really look at the details and they focus on whats right, I believe what Ive just laid out is something that a consensus of Republicans and Democrats can agree to.
