CNN: Paul Ryan to enter GOP's civil war by criticizing Trump's hold on party
CNN ^ | |May 27 | By Daniella Diaz, CNN

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan is set to criticize former President Donald Trump and his hold on the Republican Party during a speech Thursday night, according to excerpts obtained by CNN.

Ryan, a critic of the former President in the past, is expected to say at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, that Republicans must move away from the "populist appeal of one personality" because "then we're not going anywhere."

"Once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads. And here's one reality we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or on second-rate imitations, then we're not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence and mettle," Ryan is expected to say.

Punchbowl News was first to report the excerpts.

Although Ryan doesn't mention Trump by name in his criticism, the expected remarks by the Republican Party's 2012 vice presidential nominee will add him to a growing list of establishment Republicans who are publicly objecting to Trump's grip on the party.

This is concerning to me.

Paul Ryan is snake and a liar but he is shrewd and knows which way the wind is blowing.

Him saying this out of the blue tells me that he knows something that we don’t know.

Trump's grip on the party

More like 75-90 American latched onto Trump and are free to let go at any time.

I left the GOP because of people like Paul Ryan and that the party never supported President Trump.

Ryan is parroting Democrat party talking points. This type of blatant gaslighting should never be allowed at the Reagan library. Shameful.

SO sick of the Republican party. I’m a Trump supporter, not a member of the GOP any more.

Paul Ryan proved to be useless when he had the speakers hip. Why should anyone listen to him now?
