Farewell to Paul Ryan Abandoning the party and conservatism.
by JEFFREY LORD
Where have we seen this before?
Former GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan has made it known he will not attend the 2024 Republican Convention if the nominee is former President Donald Trump. The convention is set to take place in Milwaukee in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin.
So. Here we go again. All but declaring his devotion to RINOism — Republican in Name Only — Ryan has slid a long way down the pole from the rising star conservative he was once thought to be.
The man who was the vice presidential nominee on the 2012 ticket with Mitt Romney seemingly has no realization that yes, in fact, he and Romney lost their election while Trump won his in 2016. They played the RINO card and got clobbered.
Let’s cut to the chase. What’s really going on here is that someone got used to swimming in the Washington/establishment Swamp — and thus has nothing but disdain for the Outsider President.
And yes, the Republican Party has been here before.
In 1980, the chairman of the House Republican Conference was Rep. John Anderson of Illinois — an earlier version of Paul Ryan.

It should be abundantly clear by now that all those Never Trumpers out there in the GOP are not only not real Republicans, but their support for Joe Biden has had serious consequences. From Putin’s invasion of Ukraine — something that would never have happened had Trump been president — to the disastrous defeat in the Afghanistan withdrawal, roaring inflation, surging gas prices, and the stacking of the courts with left-wing nominees — all of this is a result of the Biden presidency. A presidency adamantly demanded by the Never Trumpers.

It is crystal clear that Paul Ryan has all but formally left the Republican Party — just as John Anderson did in 1980.
Plain and simple, Washington establishment insiders cannot abide Washington Outsiders. Which is to say they have a serious dislike of millions of Americans.
This time around, it’s Donald Trump that the Ryans of the world detest. Once upon a time, it was Ronald Reagan.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Ryan is a flaming fraud.

My heart skipped a beat….I thought by the title that one of these treacherous pricks has finally met his end. 🤬
Ryan is a flaming fraud.He fits right in at Fox.
If he wasn't the fraud he is he wouldn't be working for the low-life Aussies at Murdoch News
Persona non grata
How can he abandon conservatism when he never had a clue what it is.
But Paul Ryan repeatedly thwarted President Trump's wall to protect you and me. "Walls for me, but not for thee."
Ryan is the scum that floats on top of a cesspond.
I left Milwaukee in Feb 1964.
I would NOT go back, either.
He likely accepted a keynote speech at the Democrat Convention.
Ryan acted like he was an economic conservative, then he had those huge omnibus budgets under both Presidents as Speaker.
He is a compromised fraud and an enemy of the American people.
Paul was thought to be a rising star conservative? I must've had a lot of work to do that day - totally missed his political apogee. (*snort*)
Don’t tell Paul he’s irrelevant. Don’t break his bubble.
Back then, at the misty fringe of prehistory when he was selected as the VP nominee, The GOP astroturfed a bunch of nonsense about him being the guy who could woo conservatives into embracing the candidate at the top of the ticket.
Rockefeller Republicans. Useless.
So Paul Ryan won’t be at the Republican Convention in 2024? Well whip me and call me an ugly woman!
You mean get the eff out of our faces.
