Paul Ryan is another establishment GOPer who's full of himself.

He pretends he'd be making a sacrifice if he ascends to Speaker of the House, so he says he'll only do so if Republican House members put their party ahead of constituents.

Now we hear the Obama White House would welcome a Ryan speakership.

Word also gets around that Ryan's a fan of open borders.

And despite high marks from the NRA, Ryan's shown weakness on defending Second Amendment rights. Ryan was among Republicans eager to go along with Democrat proposed gun control "enhancements" in 2013 until political pressure from conservatives forced him back into Republican territory.

Boehner was a terrible speaker. If Republicans embrace Ryan as the next one, chances are good things go from bad to worse.
