Former Congressman and Republican vice-presidential candidate in the 2012 election Paul Ryan confirmed that "I will not be voting for Donald Trump no matter what. Character matters. I cannot support a person of low character for the top job in our government."
Ryan fended off criticism of President Joe Biden's character, saying "using his position in government to obtain bribes for his family and himself are the normal kind of abuse of power that is common in our politics. Almost everyone does it--Republicans and Democrats alike. Our country has and can continue to survive this type of self-serving misuse of the public trust. The amounts of money involved are trivial in the context of trillions of dollars in government spending each year. That's why none of these people are being prosecuted."
"In contrast, Trump is being prosecuted in New York, Florida, Georgia, and Washington, DC," Ryan pointed out. "He is the kind of criminal that our system of government cannot abide. He is an existential threat to the entire system. His personal wealth insulates him from being influenced by the movers and shakers of the world--the big wheels who shape public policies via their donations to ensure the continuity of the established institutions, policies, and expenditures of the permanent government. Industries like weapons manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare that are absolutely dependent upon government spending would face major disruptions if Trump is allowed to win the 2024 election."
Ryan did admit that "I won't be voting for Biden, though. He's not competent for the job. His reelection would be a disaster for the country. Instead, I'll be writing in the name of my former running mate Sen. Mitt Romney on my ballot come November."

I know. This is one of the most damming statements I have read regarding of political system in a while. There it all is. If I was Trump, I’d make a campaign ad using Ryan’s statement. Remarkable.
This is a satire site. Even says that in the thread title.
Ryan is a TOTAL LOSER!
So Mike Pence will not be on the slate of Republican electors in Indiana?
