Wall Street Journal: “Paul Ryan is a small-government conservative who hopes to use innovative policy solutions to make the GOP a big-tent party again.”
“It hasn’t been easy so far. But many colleagues believe Mr. Ryan now will use the House speakership—far more than his predecessor John Boehner has—to highlight his policy ideas and build public support for them. Even if the prospects for passing big, new legislation are dimming in the current Congress, Mr. Ryan, who won the gavel in a House vote today, will have an eye on using his ideas to make the GOP more competitive in national elections, particularly the 2016 presidential contest.”
