Fresh off a nearly $2 trillion government-funding and tax-cuts deal, both Ryan and Reid are sounding a rare note of cooperation in the midst of a highly partisan presidential election cycle.

LOL. You can't even respond to the thread beyond a personal insult, and then insulted in return, you claim victory. How bibish fake rabbi.Translation: Pwned again.you so clever.

Now go fuck yourself and leave the adults to talk.
What was his option?Ryan most certainly sold the GOP down the river.
In so doing, he also sold the country down the river.
Well, if Harry honors his promise to not gum up appropriations bills, it may not be a bad compromise for the gop. The tea party had no leverage because McConnell said there would not be any shutdown. So, if push came to shove, the Senate would have passed a bill that funded govt through the elections, and probably without any poison pills that would keep Obama from signing it. So, Ryan's options were to not even bring up a bill that didn't have TP support in his caucus, and that would have shutdown the govt, which is not good for gop potus candidates, OR compromising.
However, I put up a link to Frum's long essay on "where goest the GOP" And he suggests that the gop may accept tax cuts for the rich in exchange for perpetually losing the WH, but maintaining power in the House

I'm not a dem, but when your response begins with a personal insult it generally reflects you are not a serious person. But, you never responded substantively, which is not surprising.Well, if Harry honors his promise to not gum up appropriations bills, it may not be a bad compromise for the gop.

Here's the thing that ypou denicrats can't understand. You believe that winning is all that matters. I'm sure that Ryan and the mainstream GOP also think that way. We conservatives don't think that way. We understand the economical damage that this budget bill will cause and we know you democrats aren't smart enough to understand but when a so called Republican does it we get pissed. He should know better. We like to do the right thing even if it costs us votes.
Ah, but aren't the gop elite calling for the sellout as well .... if not even more than the DLC wing of the dems?BWA-HA-HA-HA! The rubes think Ryan sold us down the river. You mean you are just now noticing?
The GOP has been selling out for DECADES. It's what you tards demanded. Style over substance. Principles shminciples.

But what should Ryan have done, and what would have been the likely political, or budgetary outcomes?
