Paul Ryan: I Know Best

An unintentionally revealing interview with House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 56% shows exactly why he’s being touted as an establishment replacement for Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention, and also why Trump is the shocking frontrunner for the 2016 nomination.

Like some modern Marie Antoinette, Ryan seems to be utterly clueless about the state of the nation, and utterly condescending towards the voters he needs to keep his job, according to his answers in the interview with CNBC interviewer John Harwood.

But first, with some throat-clearing modesty, Ryan wants to distance himself from establishment calls that he should take the nomination from Donald Trump when the GOP’s delegates meet in July. “It’s funny, but I actually think you should run for President if you’re going to be President. I’m not running for President. I made that decision, consciously, not to,” said Ryan, after fortifying himself with a sip of Guinness stout. “I’m not thinking about it. I’m happy where I am, so no.”

Then he made clear that he’s going to fight Trump’s populist pitch. “I’m going to speak my mind. I’m going to defend conservatism as I understand it,” Ryan told Harwood. “I’m going to defend our ideas as the Republican Party. But we’re going to have to work with whoever the nominee is.”

How quickly he corrupted himself. He was great during Obama’s first term. He was the only GOPer out there putting it in Obama’s face. Then, after the abominable performance with the Clown chief Biden debate it all went to hell. Something in him broke when he hitched up to Romney. He allowed Biden to walk all over him when a firm “Hey, I’m talking, halte die Fresse” would have shut the clown king up for a few seconds to make his point. Now. Ryan is signing off on Obama spending and keeping the revolution fully funded.
