Is the Fix In, Is Washington Now All Sham?

How OUTRAGES IS THIS?

Speakstakes: Paul Ryan Situation Remains Murky - The Rush Limbaugh Show

Rush Limbaugh, from the 10-23-15 Broadcast

My only point is that it didn't happen that way.  Washington news is a
script.  Washington politics is a script.  It is written for people in
Washington, in the media, and people in political parties, those that
are famous and have a role in talking and reaching the public, they have
roles to play.  The short version of this is that I think, you know,
Ryan had these two demands.  And I think these demands were dealt with
long before anybody ever heard about them.  His demand was that he be
elected unanimously by the Republican caucus. He didn't want any
disagreement.  And that was to further unity.

And the second thing he wanted was to eliminate the House rule
written by Thomas Jefferson that speakers can be recalled.  And the
third thing, he didn't want to have to travel on weekends.  He wanted to
be able to maintain his time with his family.  Now, that was presented
to us in one day.  My contention is this was all done days and maybe a
week prior, the negotiations, the expressive Paul Ryan telling people
what his demands were, people approaching him to do this, and that
processes were put in place to make those things happen.  So that takes
us to this. Well, let me close the loop on it.

Here's the dream, from the Republican donor side.  The Republican
donor side is that Jeb Bush or, if not Jeb, somebody else acceptable to
the Republican establishment, gets elected president, Paul Ryan is
Speaker of the House, and the donor class thinks that if they can make
that happen, that within 12 to 18 months their entire agenda will be
implemented.  ...
