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.

What chance does he have against an incumbent Hillary if Trump loses? Sounds pretty stupid to me.

This is not news.

Ryan, and the rest of the Republican establishment, have

NEVER

defended anybody against liberal assault.

Hypocrites are ALWAYS the most sanctimonious. As in this case, it would appear.

**Paul Ryan tells House GOP he won’t defend Trump in wake of** “words spoken 11 years ago, and which ryan knows full well that is no scandal..

the real scandal is ryan letting obama do all he did and ryan not representing the people.. but himself.. the scandal in washington is the corrupt congress and president...and media

God help this broken nation!

Everyone voted for that bastard RAT Romney
even after he savaged Gov. Palin and her children
to throw the election to Soros-Obama.

And in return the skunk RAT Romney threw the
next election.

THAT was not enough for the RAT Romney who now
sours the election to murder a free People, if he can.

Ryan wants to run in 4 years.

He's dreaming if that's the case.

If Hillary wins, no Republican will ever win a national election again.

A few years after that, Republicans will only be able to win in a very small number of Congressional districts in the most rural states.

But even that will be irrelevant.

American governance will be completely dominated by Federal policy, regulation, and law.

Governors, state legislatures, mayors, etc., will have no power.

That's America's future. The Democrats know it.

I would lover to have take on the leaders of the GOP establishment. I am sure they have plenty of skeletons in their closets with what they have said and done, yet all are acting holier than though. We know better. Most politicians are power hungry scum that believes they are above the rules and their ambition leads them to many heinous acts. But right, act all self-righteous over some locker room talk by a business man.

I would love to see the establishments tapes released if they had them.

Trump will have to drag these quislings kicking and screaming across the finish line.

I don’t think he really wants to run for the White House in 2020. The House speaker is usually not well positioned for that. If he runs for the governor’s office first, then maybe he’s a future contender in 2024 or later.

There is a difference between being misunderstanding the voters (understandable), and just being scared/wimpy/weasely/corrupt.

Unfortunately, I think that the repub leaders are the latter.

Heard on Cernovich that the RNC is denying funds to the Trump campaign...funds he helped raise. RNC is inserting moles, purging Trump loyalists, and attempting to sabotage his campaign. ‏@Cernovich

WTF. I am hoping this is completely wrong.

Looking at Wikipedia - his father died at the Auschwitz concentration camp. I don’t understand the lack of integrity to do something like this. Especially since HC will always side with Arabs against the Jews.

This traitorous weasel thinks if he sticks us with Hitlery that we will actually vote for him in 2020.
Delusional about his own worth . He has done NOTHING to stop Obama’s agenda and helping the enemy.

Ryan got money from the pedophile Hastert. Didn’t send it back.

Come to think of it, Ryan has a face that looks like it belongs on a poster for a level four sex offender.
