35. I Saw Some Mentioned Too
Fri Jun 23, 2017, 09:48 PM

Ryan…willing to work w/45 and has no solutions when questioned

Cummings…Fab rep, ally of Nancy, not really interested

Schiff…Excellent rep., better suited to the Intel Committee where he is holding the line against the Cons.

Swalwell…Really good guy, but too young, needs to acquire some heft

Really this is basically Ryan, Rice, Vela, looking to take over without regard to the cost of their ineffectiveness. I believe the other names were mentioned as a smokescreen for Ryan. Who, btw, looked like a fool today in some of his interviews.
