The MOST Powerful Politician in the U.S.A.

[Islandman]

It certainly is a powerful position but its an overstatement to say the Speaker is more powerful than the President. He/she can certainly make life very difficult for the president, but thats not the same as being more powerful.

If that was the case ObamaCare for example would have been killed and buried in its infancy, the day after the Republicans gained control of the House. Veto power makes the President more powerful than the Speaker.

The Speaker of the House is the most powerful politician in U.S. politics…….The U.S. President is the most recognizable politician & therefore the FACE of the country, BUT without the corporation & a GOOD working relationship with the Speaker of the House, he can essentially be rendered ineffective, as the Speaker has the power to KILL any program or law the President wants to enact/pass = That’s why the powerful corporations & people have GREAT influence & are so focused on who becomes Speaker of the House. So don't be distracted or focus on the "Dog & Pony Show" = Trump vs Clinton.
Electing Donald Trump as President would be EMBARASSING, to say the least, especially internationally, BUT the politician you need to FOCUS on is PAUL RYAN…….Ryan has massive support from the REAL powerbrokers (he’s their POINT MAN). He loves POWER & CONTROL. He has the FULL support of the Republicans (House & Senate), and VERY importantly, he was Chairman of the 2 MOST powerful committees in U.S. politics – House Budget & House Ways & Means, which means a LOT of politicians, Democrats & Republicans, OWE him.
