After an internal GOP election Tuesday, Rep. Paul Ryan has emerged victorious in his re-election for Speaker of the House. Along with Ryan, Rep. Kevin McCarthy won his re-election for Majority Leader, and Rep. Steve Scalise won re-eelction as majority whip.
The election was closed door and shut off from the press. There was no real objection to any of the incumbents running, but a few House Republicans did ask for (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/paul-ryan-speakership-trump-backers-230787) a delay on voting, as they felt the second day back from vacation was too soon to hold leadership elections.
While not surprising, the outcome finalizes who will be working with Trump in the House chamber for (presumably) the next two years. Their relationship started out rocky, but Speaker Ryan and Trump now have been working closely on setting the Republican agenda. In a press conference Tuesday morning, Ryan noted the two men speak "everyday."
Despite a full House vote (with Democrats included) for Speaker not taking place until January of next year, the internal GOP election is what really matters since they are the ones in power......snip~

Well the Repubs stick with more of the Same O Same O......there goes Trumps plan for Term Limits. Ryan and McConnell will make sure that see no light of day.
The Freedom Caucus backed down once again. What say ye?
