Those conservatives are serious.

It's getting to be pretty clear that business as usual has at least been knocked off it's perch in this Presidency. Think that plays a large part in why Ryan is resigning. It's also pretty clear that Trump has the train going pretty well and that train stands to take him to one of the greatest Presidencies of the century. You think Ryan wants to bow out before having a significant impact on a piece of legislation that would put him in the history books WITH trump?

I'm betting that he gets his shit together and does something significant to help the Trump agenda.

I think cautious optimism is more appropriate at this stage.

Conservative senators have sent a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
demanding that lawmakers confirm President Donald Trump’s 271 outstanding nominations
and pass a spending bill before the August recess or skip the break altogether.

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) spearheaded the letter, which was also signed by Sens. Bill
Cassidy (R-LA), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer
(R-NE), Dean Heller (R-NV), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford
(R-OK), Mike Lee (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Dan Sullivan (R-AK),
Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).

Will McConnell listen? Does he actually care? I suspect it will be business as usual.

We shall see.

James Lankford apologizes to his black constituents for opposing election results, the 14 blacks in Oklahoma who voted for him.

Meanwhile, he would never ever apologize to his white constituents for stabbing Trump in the back.
