Ryan same as Boehner

On Thursday, July 27, 2017The Washington Monthly posted an article titled: Soon Paul Ryan will Boehner Himself 

The author of the article, Martin Longman, makes a very compelling argument that Paul Ryan will end up the same as John Boehner very soon. The article gives a great set of reasons why Longman believes Ryan’s downfall is inevitable. Longman is quite well versed in the political schematics and is very capable of explaining the inner workings of the political system to the everyday citizens, helping the reader understand his perception of the mistakes Ryan is making and the same pattern of Boehner he is repeating. The evidence he uses are very credible and flows with his argument and he presents them in a way that his audience begins to identify the same line of reasoning as his line of argument.

Just as Boehner lost his job as the speaker of the house, Ryan looks to be heading down the same path as he did. Although the two men are in different situations, they both are unable to govern the legislative branch. Boehner refused to strike any sort of deals with the democrats and failed to govern with the majority he had which led to his downfall. Ryan is now caught in the same situation but with a far more organized and defiant centrists group. These centrists are now fed up and have been disrupting the political process as much as they can such as sinking bills and decimating legislature plans as they are done with jeopardizing their reelection chances where they are mandated to take votes that are against what they believe. In addition, another difference in Ryan and Boehner is there corresponding president. Where Obama focused on trying to unite the two parties, Trump only drove them apart, putting more pressure on the centrists who in turn are becoming more organized in order to stall the system. Trump leans further and further to the right as he tries to secure the super religious conservatives to prevent his polls to fall so low where impeachment may actually become a reality. Without the democrats, the centralists, and with trump alienating more and more republicans, Ryan is incapable of accomplishing anything resulting in his following of Boehner’s footsteps which we can all easily predict where that will lead him.
