Paul Ryan’s Catastrophic Lack of Political Skill and Judgment
American Thinker ^ | March 27, 2017 | John Ellis

Posted on 03/27/2017 5:57:26 AM PDT by detective

Everyone knows that a competent lawyer never asks a question in court to which he doesn’t already know the answer. And likewise, a competent political leader never puts a piece of legislation up for a vote without having a good idea of what the vote will be. But when Paul Ryan released his American Health Care Act he evidently had no idea what its reception would be. Whole sections of his own party were angered, and it was obvious that his bill had no chance of passage without truly major changes.

Wormtongue Ryan looked like he was about to throw up on his shoes the day they pulled Heathcontrol-lite.

It may just be that he had gotten scolded by a man. Something he hasn’t seen in years, ensconced Versailles.

You Trumpets can’t have it both ways. On the one hand you tell me Trump is so smart,he’s playing multi- dimensional chess and on the other ,you tell me he was being fooled by Ryan. Trump was fully on board with this crap bill.

Trump also had Senator Paul over to the White House as well... which lying Ryan refused to discuss his secret plan, with Senator Paul. I do not think Trump got fooled... I think Trump gave lying Ryan the opportunity to do the right thing, even cheer-leading him on, and it was Ryan who could NOT get the votes on this 'secret' plan. Trump did not pull the legislation, lying Ryan did. Thus all of this is on lying Ryan's head.

“this whole charade demonstrated that he's really in over his head. This is probably the first time in his life that he's in a role where he is not the boss in most matters.”

In the real world you have to delegate to get things done.

Trump delegated the job to repeal and replace Obamacare to Ryan.

Once you learn people can not be relied upon you need to replace them.

Ryan will be difficult to replace. Trump needs to figure out how to work around him.

Hopefully, the lesson Trump will learn from this is to never give Ryan anything important to do again.

Trump is very smart and very good at getting things done. However, he is new to government, and is still learning how the system works in Washington.

The beauty of the “freedom caucus” Potemkin conservatism scam is they don’t have to actually get anything done to maintain there status. They can scream and tantrum all they want and their loyal dupes eat it up.

I’m 100% behind President Trump, but I think this whole charade demonstrated that he’s really in over his head.


Interestingly, Democrats are making the charge. You’re keeping good company on this one.

Ryno is bought and paid for by big business donors. He does what he’s told.

That's what I've been calling the "Chris Christie Lesson."

More the latter (99%) and less the former (1%).

I think it's amusing that the Wonder Twins, Preibus and Ryan, are trying to outmaneuver Trump.

I think those two clowns will be working in the food service industry in 5 years.
