Paul Ryan has a lot of problems. For one thing, his partnership with Mitt Romney four years ago solidified his moderate, or perhaps even liberal, credentials. So often it seemed like he has had more in common with the policies of Mr. Obama than with the grassroots of his own party. Clearly, he cannot be trusted to champion conservative causes. And this is no small issue for a person who is the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Another problem was his tepid support, at best, for Mr. Trump during the presidential election. It is inexcusable for the top elected official in the party to offer anything less than enthusiastic support for his party’s candidate for president. It wasn’t hard to conclude that Mr. Ryan was a closet supporter of Hillary Clinton.
To make matters worse, there was evidence to support the belief that Ryan was instrumental in the release of the “locker-room talk” tape that created problems for Trump. If true, that was political treason.
If Ryan truly did prefer Mrs. Clinton, then the honest thing to do would have been to resign as speaker and switch parties. Fat chance that that would have happened — it would have required an almost unprecedented level of integrity in Washington.
So now that Mr. Trump has won, Ryan sounds like he’s “Mr. Support” for Trump, but is he? More on page two.
Uh. Mr. Ryan, did you happen to notice the American people not vote for Hillary as well as the GOP??? I’m pretty sure you’ve noticed, I’m sure you’ve all noticed. Play nice, he’s not the politician or candidate you were wanting, but the one WE THE PEOPLE did!
I hope Mr.Trump keeps a good eye on him,I never have liked him.He hopped back on the ban wagon so fast looked liked a kid at Christmas! !!How does someone flip flop that fast. Then when talking a out the boarder wall he got all bent up over it! Just get a bad vibe!
It is what it is and see what happens next.
The Washington Camelion. This guy has shown his colors. He is for whatever will elevate him, a true fence rider. Drain The Swamp.
GOP are not the American people party!
I still say this bastard is a closet Mislim .
You can tell elk Paul Ryan was wanting Hillary to win. Many republicans are corrupt.
Your right it,s the peoples party and your not part of it
