Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said he is a "never-again Trumper" less than a week after former President Donald Trump announced a third White House run.
In his assessment of Republicans' weak performance in the midterm elections, he pointed to what he called the "Trump factor" and highlighted the difference in the performance of Trump-backed candidates versus non-Trump Republicans.
"It's pretty clear with Trump we lose. So I don't mean this personally. It's just evidence. We lost the House in '18. We lost the presidency in '20, we lost the Senate in '20, and now, in 2022, we should have and could have won the Senate. We didn't, and we have a much lower majority in the House because of that Trump factor. It's palpable right now," Ryan said. "We get past Trump, we start winning elections. We stick with Trump, we keep losing elections."

He neglects to acknowledge that if it weren’t for Trump, they’d still be the minority party in the house. What Ryan likes.
GOP candidates who lost in the midterms never responded to the DemonKKKrat’s lies that said, the GOP wants to create a national ban on abortion and end Social Security and Medicare. Those should have been easy things to debunk but they were way too lazy to ignore.
Paul Ryan. NOBODY CARES.
