The biggest pain in Washington is Nancy Pelosi.
But if Paul Ryan (RINO) would have done his job, the GOP would have held the house, and nanzi pelosi would still be sidelined.
We'd be done with Obamacare, the wall would be further along, and the people would see that the world did not end with these things.
We would have seen substantial improvement.
We would not have had impeachment, endless investigations, and Pelosi on TV every day talking Trump down, like she did to Bush.
And this a$$hole is now running FOX News- and you can see how that is going down the crapper too.
Spot on!!!!!!!
That Turd Ryan was a friggin’ disaster and continues to be @ Fox!!!
A pox on his house!!!!!!!!!
Yes. Even before the “Special Counsel” got appointed, these talebearers kept insisting that Trump would just resign after all he went through, or would quickly be forced out of office.
They WANTED it to happen. They wanted him to fail.
Mrs. Ryan is from an old Democrat family in OK. Paul Ryan may be a closeted Democrat; he let Biden dominate their one debate in 2012.
Yes, I have dreams of Ryan and Cantor and Boehner being led away in chains.
He was definitely a big part of the establishment resistance that DJT encountered, but unfortunately only one piece. I’d guess that DJT can count the MAGA supporters in congress on his both hands. Rs like Ryan have this nation on the brink, and they are just fine with this.
If Pelosi hadnt become the Speaker again she probably would have retired...
Paul RINO
But, what can you expect from a guy whose civilian job was driving and Oscar Myer truckmobile.
While you are correct, it is a waste of time and energy.
Ryan is a fag gym buddy of Weiner, and hildabutchbitch probably has video of the two of them doing a 969, which helps to explain his total treason.
That is all the energy I will expend on this pimp.
Ryan and Mitch worked together to block Trumps agenda. One of Trumps key campaign promises was infrastructure. That would have created a lot of jobs and won a lot of votes in the rust belt. Ryan and Mitch blocked it
Mitch also made the GOP lose the House by talking about cutting Social Security right before the 2018 election. I’m pretty sure he wanted Trump to have to deal with a Dem House
And in the last few weeks Mitch publicly refused to support a stimulus bill that would send checks to the unemployed - even when Trump asked him to do so. Mitch wants Trump to lose. So does Ryan
We had the presidency, House and a majority in the Senate, after the filibuster had been kiboshed.
McCain, who campaigned on ending Obamacare, screwed Trump (and the American people) and ended that promise. Meanwhile Ryan squandered the majority in the House.
There was a reason Willard chose him as a running mate and it wasnt because he was a genuine Conservative...Willard hates Conservatives...the Romneys hated Ronald Reagan and his good buddy Barry Goldwater...
Try to think of one thing that would benefit Conservatives that Willard did as governor or senator...
Agreed, 100%. Ryan was and is a huge problem. A bigger anti-Trumpere there isn’t, but unfortunately he is smart enough to keep quiet and work behind the scenes.
I hope that he’s done something corrupt that can be exposed to remove him from Fox and politics for good.
Former House Speaker Paul Ryan Starts Blank-Check Company
Executive Network Partnering will seek to raise roughly $300 million in an initial public offering
Aug. 20, 2020
Paul Ryan, the consummate Washington negotiator, is trying his hand at another kind of deal making, jumping into the rush on Wall Street toward blank-check acquisition companies.
The former House speaker will serve as chairman of a vehicle known as Executive Network Partnering Corp., which will seek to raise roughly $300 million in an initial public offering, people familiar with the deal said. That figure is subject to change based on demand.

Also known as special-purpose acquisition companies, they turn the traditional IPO model on its head by going public before acquiring a business. They have gained popularity as deal makers look to take advantage of the economic dislocation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Alex Dunn, the former president of security company Vivint Smart Home Inc., will serve as chief executive of the new SPAC. Solamere Capital, run by Sen. Romney’s son Taggart, will be the main sponsor.

Oh, I haven’t forgotten that SOB. Ryan, probably more than anyone else who was supposed to help the president, hurt his agenda.
I sure hope karma finds that closet pole smoker Ryan.
Paul Ryan was only the most recent “Gentleman Loser” as Speaker. John (Boo-Hoo) Boehner has also earned his spot in this Hall of Infamy. Boehner would put up a good argument in budget proposals, only to give in to the Obama Gang at the last minute. Lather,Rinse, Repeat.
Ever since the second term of the GWB years, this was the Republican Way. Following or reacting the Dem demands. Donald Trump helped us to discern the Boys (RINOs, Globalists, Uniparty) from the Men (Actual Conservatives + Rand Paul Brand Libertarians).
The House under Ryan passed a bill that would have torn the guts out of Obamacare. It was the Senate that failed -- by one vote -- to pass that bill. That was when McCain went back on his word to the voters and to McConnell, and voted to preserve it. Blaming Ryan for ObamaCare isn't fair.
It also should be remembered that Ryan was instrumental in crafting and ramming through Trump's single biggest legislative accomplishment -- tax reform.
Ryan's core issue his entire Congressional career was entitlement reform, which the country desperately needed then and still needs today. He took a lot of crap for being cold-hearted, etc....the typical stuff Democrats say about Republicans who try to be responsible. He tried very hard to push through Medicare/Medicaid reform -- to eliminate their status as a never-ending entitlement, and to give a set amount of funds to states to administer it on their own. He was right about the need for all of that.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough support even among Republicans -- including the President -- to do that. When Ryan saw that the whole reason he wanted power wasn't going to happen, he left.
https://www.marketwatch.com/story/paul-ryans-retirement-a-sign-of-republican-surrender-on-deficits-and-entitlements-2018-04-11 If you want to judge Ryan fairly, try comparing him to the GOP Speakers that came before him. The last one to have accomplished anything of substance was Gingrich. Ryan at least got us tax reform.
