Paul Ryan wants any Republican other than Donald Trump in 2024
CNN ^ | October 26, 2022 | Chris Cillizza

Paul Ryan wants to make one thing crystal clear: He is for any Republican not named Donald Trump in 2024.

“That new swing voter in American politics is the suburban voter, and it’s really clear the suburban voter doesn’t like Trump, but they like Republicans,” the former House speaker said during a recent appearance on Fox Business. “So I think anybody not named Trump, I think is so much more likely to win the White House for us.”

Which is blunt!

Ryan’s assessment comes even as Trump appears not only likely to run again, but is making preparations for what a third bid for president would look like.

As CNN’s Gabby Orr reported on Tuesday, Trump appears to be “accelerating his plans for another presidential campaign,” going as far as to weigh where the campaign would be based (Florida and the Washington, DC, area are the two leading options) and who might help lead the effort (longtime GOP operative Chris LaCivita is seen as one possibility).

Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican who left office in 2019 amid the hostile takeover of the Republican Party by Trump, has not been shy about offering his skepticism about the former President running again for the White House.

“Whether he runs or not, I don’t really know if it matters,” Ryan said earlier this month. “He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.”

"Eddie Munster" Ryan: “He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.”

Good luck with your Pubbie 40% against the Democrat Party 40%, Paulie.

Did I mention that the Democrats cheat like there's no tomorrow?

The DC crowd - Democrat or GOPe - hate Trump because he stands for America whereas the beltway politicians stand for their own political betterment.

But Patriots by the millions outside the miserable beltway love Trump.

Can I ask a stupid question?

Why is the media suddenly full of anti-Trump commentary and former Republican politicians coming out of the woodwork, saying Trump’s time has come and gone?

Why is this a key subject being discussed, in light of the results of the midterm elections?

I sometimes wonder who decides what the hot topics to be discussed are.

IOW, DC hates Trump but America loves Trump. That is because Trump loves America and DC hates America.

Ryan is so far gone, this public effort is going to make it more difficult to accomplish what he wants. This motivates Donald and the MAGA movement and is going to cause more digging in. Ryan was a complete failure as Speaker and cost the party dearly. Blocking funding for border security when we had both houses under Trump and totally bungling Obamacare repeal/reform were all time failures and cost our country and party deeply.

In this rare case, he may be right but the GOP establishment is so strategically bad that they work against their own interests constantly. The situation will work itself out. The goal is a United party who can win and Ryan is not helping.
