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.
Get over it Pauly, you are not in a very good position right now — lost your chance to really count in the Republican party and screwed up royally…..so hopefully we’ll be saying bye-bye to you if we’re lucky.
You’re damned right and it’s not the people’s party, but it will be when we finish purging it of RINO parasites.
I never cared for him. I voted for him and romney only because Mr. Trump endorsed him.
Slime$#%&!@*face traitor.
I wouldn’t trust this guy any further than I could throw him, we need a new speaker of the house not this turn coat back stabbed!
I don’t think the GOP is any body’s party anymore.
Switch parties asshole
President Trump is no fool. He’s playing his cards close to the vest.
I hate the GOP establishment and I hate this guy you can Round Up McCain Romney and a host of others and take them out line them up in front of a military firing squad for treason and have them shot that’s how horrible these people have been to the American people
He deserves the boot
