Paul Ryan Appears on MSM Program, Goes on Anti-Trump Tirade

Speaking to the Mainstream Media, ABC News’ This Week, alongside Rep. Adam Schiff, former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan went on an anti-Trump tirade and unveiled his anti-Trump agenda.

He began by saying that he thinks Trump would lose in 2024 when speaking with NBC’s Karl, saying:

We probably likely lose the White House. We just did in ’20. So, I think we probably lose the White House with Trump. And if there’s someone not named Trump, my guess is we win the White House.

Ryan then went on to say that he predicts Trump losing support because of undefined “losses”, saying:

That’s right, but I think — I think he’s going to continue to lose altitude because we want to win. And we know with him we lose. We have a string of losses to prove that point. And there are a lot of really good, capable conservatives who people I think like that are more than capable of not only being good conservatives in office but can win elections.

After a bit more back and forth with Karl, Ryan finally outed himself as a total Trump hater, saying that he is a “never-again-Trumper.” In his words:

I was – I – I governed with him. And I’m very proud of those days. I’m proud of the accomplishments of the tax reform, the deregulation, of criminal justice reform. I’m really excited about the judges we got on the bench, not just the Supreme Court, but throughout the judiciary. But I am a never-again-Trumper. Why? Because I want to win. And we lose with Trump. It was really clear to us in ’18, in ’20, and now in 2022.

Returning to reality for a moment, Ryan did note that the GOP would have a hard time getting much done because of the razor-thin majority it has in the House, saying:

Yes, you – you always have leakage. You — no matter what bill you’re going to bring to the floor, it is almost impossible with that tight of a majority to have just only your party passing legislation.

When I was speaker, we had better majorities, bigger majorities. We could pass bills on our own. But if you have such a narrow majority, it’s going to be really hard.

Having said that, there’s nothing as unifying as a really razor-thin majority. That is a unifying thing in and of itself. I’ve been in the House where we’ve had pretty tight majorities. Not this tight, but –

But then he returned to his head-in-the-clouds RINO track, saying that the party needed to unify around its moderate members from New York and California, saying:

Look, you run a coalition government when you’re speaker of the house, within your own party. And there are big — we just elected a bunch of new people from New York and California, from what I would call more centrist, moderate-leaning districts. Those are the majority-makers.

He added that “Kevin [McCarthy] understands that. So, you have to run a coalition.”

I am pro DeSantis. Pro Pompeo. Over Trump.

But until one of these folks declares their candidacy, puts forward an agenda, takes a stand against the left ... I am very happy that President Trump has his hat in the ring and I have NOTHING bad to say about him.

These anti-Trumpers ... how could they be so brain dead? What makes my head nearly explode is not even that Ryan, Barr, Christy and others making the rounds to dump on Trump are transparently duplicitous jerks. It is that they have stunningly low IQs. They’re dumber than rocks. How could Paul Ryan ever have been House Speaker? How could Bill Barr ever have been Attorney General ... twice?!

Funny, Paul RINO was on a losing ticket that very well could have won. He acts like Trump won in a landslide but Trump got more votes than Romney/RINO in both 2016 & 2020. Trump got 2 million more votes than Romney/RINO in 2016 while winning Florida which Romney/RINO lost because the base won’t turnout for DEM LITE plus Trump won Wisconsin which Romney/RINO lost. Wisconsin is Paul RINO’s home state now what a loser (RINO)?

Paul RINO is the pot calling the kettle black.

A big part of me hopes the establishment gets their way and nominates some squishly RINO so I can tell them, “I told you so you morons!”

When I was speaker, we had better majorities, bigger majorities. We could pass bills on our own

Kind of says it all. Obvious he either doesn’t care or is too stupid to know, that he let the cat out of the bag. The Republican’s had enough votes to pass bills.

Other than tax cuts, they chose to undermine Pres Trump every chance they could. So sad that people like he and the rest are the ones elected to office, at every level.

I knew Paul Ryan was bad from the start. You may recall President Trump explained (in detail) his health care plan in the runup to 2016. Bottom line, it would repeal Obamacare, and make healthcare better, cheaper and greater very easily.

Then Paul Ryan got involved. He stole President Trump's plan, re-branded it as the AHCA, while dropping the best parts. That's all history now, but the buck stops at the top, and in this case that is John McCain. He vetoed the best healthcare bill in our lifetime.
