Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that it would be a “disaster” if the Republican Party nominated former President Donald Trump in 2024 and “dangerous” if he wins, which would be possible.
Discussing Trump Tuesday night at the Aspen Ideas Festival, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said, “It’s really important for Democrats to take him seriously. There can be a tendency for people on the Democratic side to say, ‘Well, look, sure, the Republicans will nominee hm the Republicans are a mess but we’ll be able to beat him in a general. And that is playing with fire. It’s a risk we can’t take. So I think it’s really important for everyone to look at the treat that he posses outside of party ideology. it’s something we got to take very seriously and stand against.”
Host Joe Kernen said, “Talk about who the Trump and who the Republicans can run.”
Ryan said, “It is a disaster if we nominate Trump. You know I think that, I have been saying that for a long time. But Liz in right which is, that he could win. I think we lose with him. I think we are much more likely to loose. We haven’t won with him since he first won in 16. We lost the House in ’18, the presidency in ’20, the Senate in ’20 and we could have won the Senate in 2022 but for him.”
He continued, “I’m for anybody not named Trump right now.”
Ryan added, “I’m a never again Trumper so obviously the 33 % base doesn’t like a person like me. I’m very clear, I don’t think he’s fit and I don’t think he could win. Liz is right, he could and that is dangerous.”

Good....keep talking Paul Ryno, you are like a free commercial for Trump!
I agree that going back to 1.5% inflation would be a disaster.
No one likes you Paul. You are a sackless man and lack courage and conviction. You were gladly eating bites of the crap sandwich to let the left lead this country down a bad path. You don’t matter anymore. You are doing to Fox exactly what you did to this country.
No, no; if Ryan and Liz agree on anything it means that BeijingBiden met their asking price.
Don’t tie this to DeS, that is doing the business of the commie trash — i.e, Democrats.
Paul Ryan just pulled off his mask.
He is and always has been a Democrat.
Never Forget that this quisling POS was neck deep and a key participant in the attempted coup called Crossfire Hurricane.
No you lost the house in 2018. You had an unprecedented number of incumbents leave to not seek re-election.
TFB, Ryan.
eat a satchel of Richards Mr. Ryan
OK. :)
Yeah, my finger slipped.😇
They don’t want the gravy train to stop.
Assistant Democrat says what?
That said, this Valley Girl rant from Lizard is beyond the beyond...werd up salad LOFL!

Paul is a mildly Crypto Democrat Posing as a Republican, not even much of a Ryanhole.
Yes, that’s correct.
FPR!
As far as I am concerned, that is the best recommendation possible for Trump. Not that I needed Ryan’s approval, but I am very comfortable doing the opposite of what he wants.
FUPR !
I’d like Ryan to define what he means when he says Trump is “dangerous”. What a strange and defamatory thing to say. Dangerous to who and dangerous in what way? Dangerous to you Paulie?
