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’ll give Gym Rat more time to commiserate with all his miserable SOBs like Luntzberace.
Maybe Ryan gets the Mitt Romney/John McCain Republican Leader of the century award.
Hope it’s worth it for the scumbag.
Would love to see someone punch his lights out for what he
pulled in 2017-2018.
He’s got a very punchable face.
Yeah, probably so. They’re all in it for the bucks and
power.
Agreed...
For this reason alone, I hope PDJT wins it.
Who?
Would love to see someone punch his lights out for what he pulled in 2017-2018.He would like you to think, no big deal, he did it to Trump.
The reality is he did it to you and me.
Yep, he did it to the whole nation.
He’s a rancid buzzard puke
Yeah, fraud so…
Meant to say afraid so...
Oh well, still works.
I agree!!
