Lyin' Ryan: I'm Better Than Boehner
Lyin' Paul Ryan did an interview with CNN and compared himself to his predecessor, John Boehner:
Paul Ryan wants everyone to know he's no John Boehner.
"I think I do it better," the House speaker told CNN during an interview this week, adding that his leadership style is different than his predecessor, whose resignation last year shocked Washington. "Not to knock John, but I spend more time with all of our members on a continual basis."
Ryan, the GOP's vice presidential nominee in 2012, has won over conservatives by trying to showcase a more inclusive leadership style than Boehner. But he's still beset by the same internal divisions that led to Boehner's ouster -- as his party struggles to push through a number of bills on pressing matters, ranging from the Puerto Rico debt crisis to the budget.
Well, yeah, he might be talking to all of these people but he is hardly winning them over.
Ryan's honeymoon as the speaker lasted for only about a month before he got Boehnered by his fellow Republicans started making demands of Ryan in order to get an emergency budget bill passed.
