Charles Krauthammer suggested this evening that Paul Ryan should have secured a contract from the Freedom Caucus “signed in secret, written in blood, witnessed by a Corleone brother — just to make sure it’s going to be enforced.”
“I think what he has done successful is to put it all in the court of the Freedom Caucus,” Krauthammer said on Wednesday’s Special Report. “If they say no, they will not have a speaker on Wednesday. That’s not the end of the world, but it certainly … the longer it carries on, the weaker it makes Republicans look.”
“He is doing it exactly right,” he said. ”‘If you want me to do it, I will do it. You have to be behind me otherwise why would I do it?’”
