JANESVILLE, WI — House Speaker Paul Ryan received a standing ovation from wealthy donors after denouncing the views of Republican voters, who are skeptical of so-called “free trade” deals.
Speaking at a lavish retreat for 400 donors hosted by a network helmed by libertarian billionaires Charles and David Koch, Paul Ryan suggested it was incumbent upon the Party to “repudiate” the views of Republican voters, who do not support Ryan and his donors’ trade agenda.
Ryan reportedly assured donors that he will work to “win some of these fights” and advance their agenda on trade — presumably meaning that Ryan plans to push through the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement, supported by GOP donors.
The Washington Post reports that Ryan’s message was warmly received by those in attendance at the elite retreat — noting that Ryan was “clearly a favorite” amongst the network of donors:
The House speaker is clearly a favorite of the Koch donor network, and he was received with a standing ovation and whoops. The audience interrupted him several times with hearty applause.
Echoing the sentiment of Washington conservatives such as talk radio host Mark Levin, Ryan expressed his concern to donors that the Republican Party has been taken over by progressive populists, who fail to understand the benefits of multinational “free trade” deals.
Ryan told donors that the views of these voters must be “repudiated.”
“We are flirting with various forms of progressivism, and there are Republican forms of progressivism. Teddy Roosevelt was a Republican,” Ryan said. “We have to thoroughly debunk it, repudiate it.”

Get back to me after Hillary appoints the 9th Justice.
“Tariffs are not the answer.”
If you want to keep environmental regulations, labor laws, tax structures, and other red tape. The tariffs are the only way to level things.
If they aren’t a good idea, then get rid of them. You can’t have both.
We already have thousands of tariffs on everything from tennis shoes to turkeys. That’s one of the jobs of the FTC. But every product and every country is examined individually.
Get government out of the way and American workers/companies kick arse. Deregulate, lower corporate tax rates, and let ‘er rip. Nobody can compete with America. Nobody.
“Get government out of the way and American workers/companies kick arse. Deregulate, lower corporate tax rates, and let ‘er rip. Nobody can compete with America. Nobody.”
The problem is that America seems to want the regulations more than the jobs.
I think we agree on everything else.
Get on the same page, comicbook guy.
How the hell does the beast Hillary appointing a supreme court justice relate to “putting us in camps.”
Try to be somewhat logical in your answer.
