Very sure he is a Romney-type politician.

He’s trying to save himself from being primaried out. Don’t believe him for a second.

Only with Trump and Pence do the changes we want have a chance

Faint praise, but whatever. Could be worse. A vote is a vote.

Paul Ryan is a globalist political hack bought and paid for by special interests.

With Ryan and McConnell, you have to watch their actions. Their words mean nothing.

Ditch the GOPe's pathetic princeling, Paul Ryan.



There is an alternative.

I have to give Paul Ryan credit, at least he’s doing the right thing! Unlike Cruz, Rubio, Kasich, Bush...

What does he mean by “we” and “changes”?

Paul Ryan, the well greased weathervane cock pretending he calls the sun up and directs the wind.

Paul Ryan was Donald Trump a couple terms ago.

He was a rock star on the right because he took on the entitlement culture (and lost) in a very similarly brave way that The Donald is now taking on immigration.

What happened to Paul Ryan since then is a shame and he’s not the same man.

Regardless, it is easy to see why Ryan does not like Trump. Trump essentially represents Obama’s third/fourth terms in respect to entitlement reform. Meaning that Trump is WRONG on entitlements and does not favor gradually reversing them as does Ryan.

Entitlement reform is at least as important as immigration issues. Entitlements are the magnet.

Ryan deserves all the grief he gets today. But on this issue he was/is right and Trump is wrong. The Ryan/McConnel misguided strategy of giving up on entitlement reform until we elect a Republican president suffered a death blow when it became apparent Trump would win.

Ryan’s primary goal of entitlement reform is a righteous one and his work against immigration constraints is NOT.

Trump’s primary goal of fixing illegal immigration is a righteous one and his promises to keep entitlements in tact is NOT.

Pray that they (or someone) achieve both their primary goals.

The two goals are so inextricably linked that I find it a crying shame the two men don’t recognize this seemingly obvious truth and join forces instead of thinking of themselves first.

Ryan is corrupted by the cheap labor / big donor crowd.

Trump is either wimping out on entitlement reform just to avoid the issue during the election or he really (wrongly) believes the central government’s role is to take care of people. The former would be a moral flaw. The latter would be a devastating misunderstanding of the American ideal.

Both men have admirable primary goals. Both men are terribly flawed regarding complementary goals.

Ryan did the right thing and did it well - he’s trying to set his own self up as a contender for the WH and he needed to do that to try to make folks forget what he has been doing.

As Tall Paul spoke yesterday evening his image was one wearing not one horn, but two...after Dr. Carson's words that Bill's Hill worshiped at the feet of Satan, Ryan could only be seen as Satan.... the two of them walking hand in hand as they skipped over our AMERICAN country side bringing death and destruction across the land. Paul is not being truthful, at least not from what he has said and one in this past responses. Like John McCain, he will say and do anything when it comes to winning re-election and being able to dine at the best, drive the best, have absolute power he feels he deserves. Ly'n Ryan = Joe Dirt
