Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) said Monday that Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was “cowardly” for announcing that he would not defend Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, and would not campaign for his election. Ryan made his announcement on a conference call with fellow members of the Republican caucus on Monday morning, just hours after Trump had turned in a strong debate performance against Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in St. Louis on Sunday night.
“Leaders are supposed to stand firm and solid in moments of crisis,” Rohrabacher told the Orange County Register. “Instead, he’s in a panic. It’s not good leadership. … I think the Republicans who are backing away are gutless. We don’t have to just be concerned about saving House seats. We have to be concerned about saving the United States of America.” Other Republican congressmen from Orange County have been critical of Trump’s comments but none has withdrawn their political support.

Excellent. Dana is a good man. My oldest daughter worked in his office for awhile. He was my Congressman before the dimoKKKRATS redistrict my area.
I went door-to-door for Dana in Burbank (?) on his first bid for elected office in the 1960’s.
I don’t think Ryan is necessarily cowardly. Cowardice would indicate he wants to do the right thing but is afraid to.
He’s a coward and he wears kneepads.
I think she just grabbed Speaker Paul Ryans p****.
“I think she just grabbed Speaker Paul Ryans p****.”
Dana is a he and has been in Congress for quite some time. A good Conservative. The Ryan pushback has began.
PRyno is busy trying to snatch defeat from a victory for Americans.
I think you are correct, it isn’t cowardice, it’s craven opportunism. He has never wanted Trump to stop the illegal alien inundation.
Paul RINO is a Cheap Labor Express Republican, one of many.
The entire Bush/Romney wing of the party.
That’s my guy! Good to hear he’s not one of “those” congresscritters.
The reason the base nominated Trump is because the ilk of Paul Ryan and the Republican Jeb Bush establishment GOPe cheap labor toadies are cowardly, spineless, have no respeft or interest in the hopes and dreams and voice of the base, that this leadership only serves their open borders cheap labor amnesty benefactors and not everyday Americans, they grovel to the phony liberal news media which they want to get some recognition from even though this media will only give them a “nod” just so long as these “leaders” let regimes such as Obama run them through a meat grinder as these “leaders” fully fund the meat grinder, the same “leaders” attack the rest of us as stupid racists and peasants, and ...
... Paul Ryan betrays us again when it is the hour before the dawn of the most important battle in our lifetime, in hopes we die.
I want Paul Ryan to never be my leader. I do not serve him nor ever will and will remember this day for the rest of my life. He thinks I am a peasant. Now I want tu see him wash our dishes and pick up my dog’s poop, that is my dream, that is my hope. One day, my dream may come true.
Bunch of no good bought and paid for whores.
The blood is on their hands-GOP and democrat.
I bet we wouldn’t even fill one hand counting what few good ones are left.
Ryan will be voted out of leadership when Trump wins. He is weak.
He never has yet, so why would we expect him to now? He is all about himself. Remove him as Speaker of the House.
RINOs Must Go! Paul Ryan is too weak for the job. Wish Newt was in his spot—Need Tea Party Patriots now! Trump will need them to help him—or—If the Hillary wins—we will need to stop her overreach and dictatorial moves! NEED Tea Party NOW.
It’s also just plain stupid. You can’t win without the base and he just made sure that the millions who nominated Trump will NOT vote downticket for any Republican who ran for cover from the enemedia (btw, if you haven’t seen that before, i claim coinage) in hopes of winning the hearts and minds of those who are so weak in both categories (heart and mind) that they still just can’t decide who to vote for. Stupid, cowardly, treasonous.
How soon do we have to wait until RINORyan gets “Boehner’ed”???
Cowardly has nothing to do with it. It is worse. It is his orchestrated plan to try to defeat Trump.
Ryan is not “in a panic.”
Ryan is in the midst a planned sabotage.
He doesn't have to worry about reelection.
Other Reps do.
