Former Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said in an interview Thursday that there is a difference between the way lawmakers climb the ranks in Congress now and 10 years ago, adding that lawmakers in both parties today are “entertainers.”
“In the old days, like 10 years ago, if you wanted to do really well in Congress, if you wanted to succeed, you climbed a meritocracy. The measurement of success was policy and persuasion,” Ryan said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.”
“That’s not necessarily what motivates people anymore. There’s a lot of entertainers in Congress from both parties,” he said.

BS, Ryano. You get ahead by selling out America.
Paul Ryan rose up the ranks of congress by giving vocal fellatio to those neo-globalist who run the world. The globalist realize that their grip on power is soon coming to an end.
MAGA political candidates will no longer submit to the new world order cabal. Paul Ryan is upset that his “sexual contributions” amounted to so little, now that he is out of power.
Just a personality-deficient criminal who resents less personality-deficient criminals.
So says the man who retired in place.
One of the worst Speakers in history.
Ryan is a total POS.
PR was a great ventriloquist entertainer.

Kaboom! Nailed it perfectly.
He’s not wrong. Merit has almost nothing to do with it anymore.
Introspection is completely lost on denizens of the DC/NY media bubble.
Ryan was a self-absorbed clown for GOPe.
When will this a-hole sit down and STFU? He is the reason many are pissed off with the GOPe.
Puke Ryan was a primary example of the DC Swamp.
Meritocracy? Find the right backs to scratch.
“Ryan did the old fashioned way.
He lied his way to the top.”
No, he learned to sell himself to the right parties.
The main thing is to have no principles. When segregation is your party’s call, suck up the the Ku Kluxers. When communism is your party’s call, suck up to the communists; and you all may be President of the United States.
Only ten? how about three?
Yeah, you were a laugh a minute Paul.
This guy was such a disappointment. Ironically his statement just connected the dots for us.
yeah. you and boehner epitomized ‘merit.’ lol.
Ryan was handed a silver patter after the 2010 pasting Obama got and sat there and did nothing for 4 years.
If I stood around for 2 weeks and did nothing, I would be fired in a flash.
I guess Faux News requirements a not as high as most companies.
Is “entertainer” some kind of new-world order code word?
