Yeah... well, he’s right.

Ryan finally showed his true colors and they weren’t red, white and blue.

Trump is correct. Ryan was on the other side from the getgo

He may not want blame but Ryan certainly didn’t help.

The pushback against the CommieRats witchhunt of Justice Kavanaugh was about the only Congressional action to ignite the base

Ain't that the truth. Thank goodness he's gone, what a disgrace.

I’ve seen people here make a strong case for exactly that.

Ryan and any other Rep who “retired” this year. My guy in PA....as soon as the court redrew the district, making it more difficult for the GOP, he quit and we had to scramble to find a candidate.

Self Serving Aholes. He walks away with a massive pension.

the la times says that DJT said . . . think that sh*t through for a minute before you decide to believe it.

or, just go ahead and swallow it whole since it ratifies your preexisting angry impulses.

I would urge the HOR to vote to vacate the speaker chair NOW for both symbolic and functional reasons!

“...Anyone with half a brain knows this....”

All along, Ryan was a RINO establishment detriment. Trump did all the heavy lifting while the RINOs and weak Repubs fought little. Disgusting.

At least the NeverTrumpers in the party have been purged.

As painful in the short-term as it may be, it had to be done.

We certainly dodged a bullet in 2012, could you imagine a Vice President Paul Ryan, what a Rat Turd!

I’m wondering if Trump will acknowledge that the Republican loss of the House was deliberately engineered by Ryan and all the other RINO cretins, many of whom deliberately retired from the House this year just so their seats could be flipped. This isn’t a Democrat versus Republican issue, it’s the Globalist Uni-Party doing anything they can to keep Trump in check.

I guess Ryan will find some cushy lobbying gig, he’s certainly earned it.

Exactly, it sets it up for more conservatives in 2020.

About the only House Seat Ryan held for Republicans was his own.

Clearly. This loss is PRyno’s NeverTrumper legacy.
