‘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 also accused Trump of using ‘fear and intimidation’ to maintain political influence “

Ryan is confused. How is Trump using fear and intimidation’? Are we fearful and intimidated by PDJT? He must mean mean “hope”.

I hate that guy. I hate Fox News.

Yes. I was open to DeSantis as the GOP nominee if Trump doesn’t run. Now that he has Ryan’s endorsement I’m definitely re-thinking that.

“I agree absolutely. He will not be the nominee.”

If by “he” you mean Trump, you are a fool.

Gonna jump in here ‘though uninvited.
IMO the RNC will do whatever it deems necessary to keep him off the state primary ballots.
The GOP did NOT want him as their nominee in ‘16. They thought he was a convenient and expendable foil for JEB. They did NOT want him as President, thus their actions in the first two years of his administration.
The Republican party has learned its lesson and will not make the same mistake again.

my 2¢

The two parties are both like drowning men, clinging to each other for survival.

I know all the “no third parties” arguments. But a SECOND party?

If Teddy Roosevelt had had the internet in 1912, the Bull Moose Party would have worked.

So says the RINO who just yesterday backed DeSantis.....

If DeSantis is worth his weight he will publicly tell this rinoscum to shove it.

“We pray You silence him by any means possible.”

You sound like my former pastor and his wife. A member of the church was being terribly abused by her husband. Pastor and wife prayed that God would “remove him from the situation”. They simply meant that he would leave her and the kids. He died soon after. It worked.

The Republicans will never ever win the White House with a Bob Dole Republican. The reason Trump won was simple. He isn’t establishment and he isn’t a politician. He is a successful businessman who treated America as a corporation and everyone of his employees except the woke idiots who felt entitled benefitted from it.

And since Trump believes in win-win, countries around the world also reaped the benefits of his policies. This really is the use case for why there should be term limits.

No need to borrow PINO Joe’s little circles. Hula hoops are very cheap, sand he wouldn’t need many.

I hope you’re right. If true, RD needs to “disavow” Ryan’s endorsement, which is a millstone around his neck.

I’ve put everyone on FR on notice here: Donald Trump is going to get my vote in 2024 even if he’s not on the ballot.

Add me to that list. F the gopee.

Butt-hurt narcissist who had his self-image damaged by a man who made it obvious that politicians are generally feckless.
