House Speaker Paul Ryan told fellow Republican lawmakers Monday he will not defend Donald Trump and will focus only on maintaining GOP control of both houses of Congress.

But the House speaker has not pulled his endorsement of Trump, a Ryan spokeswoman told NBC News. "The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities," she said. Ryan hinted that he may think the presidential race is out of reach for Trump, telling lawmakers on a call that he wants to ensure Democrat Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with Congress, according to NBC News. He said representatives need to do what is best in their districts.

Ryan wants to run in 4 years.
He hasn’t been helping before now, so
his announcement of it means nothing.

Should have shut up long ago.
He’s never done anything but cause Trump trouble.
Tell you R Congressman what you think of anyone who’d vote the fool Speaker.

“he wants to ensure Democrat Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with Congress, according to NBC News. “

Didn’t stop him from giving Obama a blank check.

Ryan has does nothing of substance as speaker, so I don’t think his support is important. He has marginalized himself and is of no consequence.

I hope the voters of his district figure out that a freshman Democrat in a D jersey is less harmful than a turncoat Speaker Democrat in an R jersey.

Trump has been running an independent campaign for President from within the Republican Party from the beginning. Ryan’s attitude is just par for the course.

Ryan knows what the dems are planning for Trump.

Trump needs to go all out against Clinton’s lies, Clinton’s rapes, etc.

NOW.

Does Ryan really think Trump needs him??? When Trump wants a whiney weasel, he knows where he can find Ryan. It would be great if this would cost Ryan his seat, but WI voters are too dense to Cantorize him.

This is pure sabotage. After Trumps performance last night, that put the Clintons on their heels, this puke ruins it all. Instead of the narrative being Trump resets race, it’s now the lead story all night that Trump s being left for dead and race us over. Total sleazeball.

What’s maddening is that this turncoat KNOWS perfectly well that the media has hours of tape of Hillary and Obama in off the record sessions that are likely a million times worse then what Trump said. But they would never in a million years release them. Ryan KNOWS this. He’s a turncoat. A traitor. An establishment tool.

Paul Ryan is 50x worse than Boehner was. At least with Boehner I felt he was being blackmailed and didn’t want to do what he was doing. But Ryan seems to do whatever he needs to just to be and stay in power.
