The “secret” about Ryan is he’s supported by a few powerful swing state RINOs who can’t afford to lose any Trump voters OR any moderate/Democrat voters.
They don’t care about conservative voters- but Trump appeals to more than conservatives.
Even worse are the GOPers in safe Red State seats who feel free to sell their constituents out to K Street. Ryan has PLENTY of support from them and they are the real problem, IMO. We deserve rock solid conservatives from Red States and it’s not even close to that.
The RINOs in safe districts are repulsive however they aren’t inherently anti-conservative. As long as they get their “cut” for their buddies.
The swing district ones are anti-conservative for electoral reasons, they want more than bennies for their pals. They also want to tell their voters that they stopped conservative things. that they were ‘moderate!’.
These are the heart of Ryan’s, and Boehner’s, support.
