‘Trump’s Unelectability Will Be Palpable’: Paul Ryan Says Trump Won’t Win GOP Nomination Again
Dailycaller.com ^ | 10/14/22 | Arjun Singh

Posted on 10/15/2022 4:52:28 AM PDT by cotton1706

President Donald Trump will likely lose the Republican presidential primary race in 2024 and, failing that, the general election should he decide to run again.

“Whether he runs or not, I don’t really know if it matters,” Ryan stated. “He’s not going to be the nominee, I don’t think.” Ryan made the comments during an appearance with Kevin Kajiwara, CEO of Teneo, the public affairs consulting firm of which Ryan is vice chairman, at their office in Manhattan.

Ryan also accused Trump of using “fear and intimidation” to maintain political influence over the Republican Party, which he predicted would end poorly. “Whenever you try to do that, it ends the way Hemingway talked about bankruptcy,” he said, “it goes along for a while until it [steeply] drops.”

Ryan said that most Republican candidates were “hurting their own ambition,” by refusing to criticize him. However, he said that Trump’s influence could wane when a critical mass of anti-Trump Republicans emerge, remarking that “as soon as you sort of get the herd mentality going, it’s unstoppable. … Trump’s unelectability will be palpable.”

“The one inexhaustible power in politics in ambition,” Ryan claimed. “You can count on that” to yield a serious challenger to Trump in 2024.

Ryan? Oh yeah that RINO globalist cuck who is so Anti-American the democrats love him.

Real Americans detest him 1000%.

The world would be a better place had he never been born. People like him are a net negative on the human scale.

If Trump runs in 2024 and fails to win the Republican nomination, there is no way he could win as a third party candidate. This is because many states like Texas have “sore loser” laws. That means losing a party nomination or primary makes that person ineligible to run for any other office on the general election ballot. Without Texas and other states like it, Trump could not mathematically win enough electoral votes to win the presidency. Furthermore, he would split the Republican vote in other states. This would allow Biden or some other Democrat stooge to win the electoral college in a blowout.

Trump’s “fear and intimidation”
More gas and oil at lower prices
Lower inflation
Border secured and deportations
More food at a lower cost
Stronger armed forces
Parents have to say what their kids are thought
Remove all of Biden’s E.O.
Reinstate all of his
Open trials on the Biden crime family

There is nothing new under the sun. It appears we have the perfect storm. All of these bad things coalescing against Trump at same time. (They will try to throw everything against the wall looking for something to stick.) The same thing they did in 2016 — only done more vehemently. This will have the same result as 2016. They don’t see that instead of weakening him as a candidate, they are making Trump much stronger.

Why I think the GOP will fail to keep him off the ballot if he chooses to run: They will cease to be a political party and will become the new Whigs. Trump is the standard bearer and king maker of the party, everyone know it, even the most radical leftist. It’s his race for POTUS if he wants it and I think just like in 2016 he wants to prove something.

While I’m in a really really bade mood; destructive hurricanes do that, let me just ask this one simple question: Who does this failed establishment politician think he is telling me who can and cannot be the GOP nominee? Or better put why not attend the next Trump rally Mr Ryan and spout your opinion off there. See how far you get.

I’m sick of:

1. Trumps time has passed.
2. The GOP needs to move past Trump and look to the future.
3. Trump has too much baggage
4. Trump wont win again because of his mean tweets and crude and bad personality!

And all the rest of the stupid arguments against supporting President Trump. When the real question should be, what are these Never Trump jackasses afraid of? What just might be declassified that can tarnish their reputations? Cause it sure isn’t low taxes, no inflation,affordable gas, affordable food, an end to war, secure borders, And the list goes on.

Will see how it plays out. Dr. Steve Turley has asserted through his sources that a Trump DeSantis ticket is all but a done deal. The big question is like to pose to Paul Ryan is who the back are you to declare the who can and who cannot be the party nominee. Sounds like he was baiting the climate temperature out here when all he needs to do is tune into a trump rally.

To Paul Rymo:

You had the House, Senate, and Presidency and all you could do was

a) fully fund Omoeba’s outgoing budget

b) keep Omoebacare

c) pass a tax cut for the rich instead of the tax cut Trump wanted

d) stall the wall

e) cooperate with Dems on fake Peach-mint and back the corrupt FBI

Go friend yourself in a close and intimate manner
