Paul Ryan Declares U.S. Election ‘Over’ in Euro Banking Conference Talk

“I think maybe even more important is that these legal challenges to the outcome and the attacks on our voting system really need to stop, in my opinion,” Ryan said during Bank of America’s virtual European Credit Conference. “The outcome will not be changed, and it will only serve to undermine our faith in our system of government, our faith in our democracy.

Ryan then took aim at President Trump’s legal team, accusing them of “doing damage to our country, to our democratic institutions and norms,” by challenging the election results in key battleground states.

The former House Speaker stated: “It is not pleasant, and I know there are a lot of people in this country who are really disappointed. But I think it’s really important that we’re clear about this, which is the mere fact that the president’s lawyers throw these sort of baseless conspiracy theories out at press conferences but offer no evidence of these in court tells you that there is not the kind of widespread voter fraud or systemic voter fraud that would be required to overturn the outcome of this election.”

“So, the election is over. The outcome is certain, and I really think the orderly transfer of power — that is one of the most uniquely fundamental American components of our political system,” he added.

Ryan retired from politics in January 2019 after serving three years as Speaker and seeing the Republicans lose a House majority in the 2018 midterm election.

Since departing Congress, Ryan joined Fox Corp. as a member of its board of directors and sits on the media giant’s compensation committee.

Elsewhere I have argued that the GOP needs to be either gutted, with its rank and file replaced by true patriots, or simply put out of its misery, in favor of a new party. Personally, I like a new party named “Christian American Party.” Others prefer the name “MAGA Party,” etc.

The name, of course, is secondary. The critical issue is that there be on the ballot, a party representing honest patriots, the silent majority, with candidates whose purpose is to serve, not to enrich themselves personally.

We are a majority, and we need to start acting like it.

The Rats are a minority, and in any fair election, they will lose again and again.

If the Repugs take a torpedo below the water line, nothing but good will come of it.

I’ve been trying to make the case for a new party for about two years (which actually is a very easy thing to do) but I get a surprising amount of pushback from FReepers.

I think they need to be more open minded and think about the possibilities instead of defending the old order which is not gaining us any ground. I mean, wouldn’t it be nice to vote for a party that actually stands for something and fights for it?

This needs to be done.

I am puzzled at people still defending the Repug establishment as a “pragmatic” or “realistic” solution, or “lesser of two evils.”

Take Loefler, whose husband is the chair of NYSE. To me, there is no doubt that between a small business in GA and a global multi-billion dollar corporation, she will always pick the corporation. Each and every time.
