House Speaker Paul Ryan on Wednesday congratulated President-elect Donald Trump, calling his win a historic moment in our nation’s history. Ryan spoke from Janesville, Wisc. on the heels of his own win and a victory for Republicans in the typically blue state, which dealt a surprise blow to Hillary Clinton.
“This is the most incredible political feat I have seen in my lifetime,” Ryan said. “Donald Trump heard a voice in this country that no one else heard…he turned politics on its head and now Donald Trump will lead an unified Republican government.”
Ryan said he spoke to both Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence Wednesday morning and added he believes their relationship is in a good place after a tumultuous campaign. The House Speaker was initially reluctant to endorse Trump as the Republican presidential nominee and by fall he decided to shift focus away from the candidate and toward protecting vulnerable lawmakers. In response, Trump blasted Ryan for being “disloyal.” On Wednesday, Ryan said many of Republicans’ Election Night wins were because candidates were able to ride Trump’s coattails to victory.
“We won more seats than anyone expected and most of that is thanks to Donald Trump,” he said. The new, unified Republican government, Ryan said, signals a new way forward for both the country and Washington. He hopes that unity will carry over to the American people, including those who voted for Clinton.
“We have a very clear agenda, we believe in the principles of the Constitution,” he said of Republicans. “This is exciting. For those people who are concerned, this is the time to unify.”

Thanks but resign immediately from Speakership your not worthy Ryan
FUPR that is all *spit*
He knows he’s about to get kicked to the curb. Trying to suck up now.
Ryan must go.
Ryan should stop sucking-up.......he’s out as leader.
Yes, but it doesn't make us forget your collaboration with Baraq 0bama, Paul Ryano!
WE ????? Trump has, Ryan does not.
Your rise was pretty spectacular. And your fall will be also. Bye Bye!!
No thanks to Paul
He changed his tune fast.
The fact that he is so out of touch that this was a surprise disqualifies him for Speaker.
Trying to safe face, huh traitor? Resign.
Get him out!
Soon to be FORMER Speaker of the House.
I agree, he should resign rather than have to be forced out.
And Mitch McConnell same thing.
He needs to be out.
Do the honorable thing and resign, Mr Ryan.
No thanks to you PR. If Ryan wants to really be conciliatory he needs to push through all of Trump’s agenda without any pushback. End Obamacare, lower taxes and regulations, rebuild the military, and reverse all the negative policies the libs have foisted upon Americans for the past 30 years would be a wonderful start.
“Ryan must go.”....
The only way to make that happen is to contact your representative and tell him/her to NOT VOTE Ryan back as Speaker. Then, it might be DONE!
Yeah he won despite you and other uniparty goper rinos, Paul, you rino romneybot jackwagon.
This guy sucks up to anybody who will he thinks will help keep him in power. So tired of his schtick.
