Why do these RINOs insist that “Conservatism” does not include conserving America?

the man is only interested in enriching himself.

I'll bet his audience is mostly corporate bigwigs. Not a single average Joe conservative.

Because Donald Trump is the Republican Party

Trump fights for the working class citizens of the USA.

RINOs, can you say the same?

In future history books, Paul Ryan should be seen as a traitor vigorously defending the illegitimate usurpation of the Constitutional republic.

RINO is just another name for Deep State card carrier.

It will be very interesting to find out just how much influence he had in the supposed Biden win in Arizona.

Talk about collusion.

We can’t change anything until we get rid of all the rot in the GOP. Personally, I don’t think that’s possible.

If ever it was possible, it is in the 2022 primaries.

It wasn't until the 2020 Steal that the RINOs came out of the closet and showed us their true, Trump-hating nature. Before that they were always careful to keep their traitorous mouths shut about what they really thought of the GOP rank-and-file voter.

The mission is clear. The mission is simple. Vote out every RINO who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with MAGA patriots. Let's have a huge RINO purge in 2022. If the state legislatures had been controlled by MAGA republicans instead of RINOs in 2020, Trump would still be president.

Dear Fox Board Member Ryan,

Your lamentations against the “cult of personality” are principally caused by your lack of personality and certainly your lack of principles. You had a majority in 2016 and offended by the broad appeal of the “new man” on the political battleground, you threw away that advantage to sabotage his Presidency.

You are the “deep state.” In power but not popular, in power but not electable.

“””“If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere,”””


In some respects I feel sorry for current and former GOP leaders who are told in no uncertain terms by their GOP puppet masters to disparage Trump.

The GOP is still controlled by the Bush/McCain/Romney wing and they are not going down without a fight.

Expect more disparagement as 2022 primaries heat up.

Paul Ryan had many years to make himself more appealing than Trump.

He didn’t even try.

In retrospect, Rommney/Ryan was the perfect pair of total and complete RINO losers. We sure get lousy candidates; McCain, Dole, Bush, Romney -

What a dope. Demeaning the party rank and file, Liz Cheney style.

The Ryan types have badly misread things. The new conservatism is bigger than Trump. Trump catalyzed it but it’s bigger than him and will endure beyond him and outside of him. The Ryan types totally fail to realize that a switch has been thrown and that we’re riding on different rails now. There’s no going back to the deformed Ryan/Bush/Cheney style conservatism, not as far as the base is concerned anyway.

I would make the case that conservatism died years ago -- and it was directly attributable to these three people in leadership positions:

1. George W. Bush
2. John Boehner
3. Paul Ryan

This fixation on Donald Trump by dopes like Ryan ignore the stark reality the "conservative" movement faces in the U.S.: Donald Trump would never have emerged on the political scene if the GOP hadn't spent years completely destroying its credibility by surrendering on every core issue most conservative voters support in politics.

Donald Trump isn't some kind of cult figure. He simply captures the spirit of American conservatives and personifies the utter disgust people like me feel about the feckless, corrupt political class that's been leading this country for decades.

It was Trumps appeal to the working Americans and legal immigrants that got him and the GOP elected in 2016...But Ryan did nothing the first two year...USELESS GOP...Time for a name change

Legal immigrants hate illegals

OK. But, who elected the people who elected him? We did. Why are we sending people to DC who feel no obligation to represent the interests of the people who elected them?

In Schumer and Pelosi, Democrats have selected two very orthodox, faithful liberals to lead their coalition. Who have we selected? Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy, neither of which are movement conservatives. Instead, they’re both faithful corporatists. And yet, they received overwhelming support from their respective caucuses.

With respect to the 2015 Speaker election, there were other people who expressed interest, one or two of which were pretty conservative people. FL Congressman Daniel Webster comes to mind. But, Professional Republican Inc really set up a binary choice between Ryan and McCarthy with McCarthy eventually dropping out clearing the way for Ryan. What a choice; Ryan or McCarthy.
