Speaker Ryan was not “cleared out.” He retired, many months ago, and yet selfishly held on to his position to deny the House GOP an opportunity to move forward.
Ryan has to be the worst GOP Speaker in my life.
John Boehner was a swamper, a crybaby, and a drunk. But he at least was out there fighting in 2010! And we got the House back that year!
And in 1994, Newt Gingrich was out there too. Everywhere! He nationalized the House vote. And it was historic.
I haven’t seen Paul Ryan anywhere in months. Nothing since his retirement announcement. A total disappointment. A total failure.
Lay a large portion of tonight’s House loss at his feet. Not that he’ll care. He’s probably set himself up a cushy lobby gig at a DC firm.
To paraphrase him from his ignominious VP run in 2012: “It’s math, stupid!” And he’s laughing himself to the bank all at our expense.
While you’re condemning Ryan, don’t forget to roundly condemn the GOPe RINO’s who insisted on appointing him Speaker.
I hope Paul Ryan is locked up somewhere. Perhaps that is why he hasn’t been seen.
It’s going to be a real ball to find out which races Paul Ryan decided to fund with the boatloads of money controlled by Ryan’s super PAC and the NRCC - which Ryan largely controlled. And which candidates they chose to choke off. I was thinking of that once I read this tweet earlier tonight:

Five (5) million dollars to Comstock, who was an awful candidate if I do say so running in a district HRC won by 10. Smart thinking, eh? Something is telling me he fully funded all his squishy RINO losers and starved the rest.
Lou Dobb’s show Wednesday night should be EPIC, as he has been hollering about a lame duck Ryan controlling things for months now.
Agree completely.
He really is one slimy piece of crap. Good riddance to him.
This purge could be one of the best things to happen to the Trump movement - a chance to clean house and put in candidates that support Trumps agenda.
Trump supporters MUST stay engaged, MUST stay fired up and honestly everything will be ok!
I will also note, maybe its a US election thing - but here in the UK when we run a campaign the idea is to sell something for the future - proposals, legislation i.e. POLICY.
It is not enough for Trump and the GOP to use rat obstruction and the economy - you are always buying a vote one way or the other - there was no coherent message about a legislative agenda from what I could see - and it certainly wasn’t pushed if there was.
This is the reason:
After Cryin’ Ryan leaves, can Trump do anything about his security clearance? Like... revoke it?
