Former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that former President Donald Trump was a “proven loser” whose influence on the Republican Party is “fading fast.”
Anchor Jake Tapper asked, “What if you were advising Kevin McCarthy and House Republicans right now? What would you tell them to do about the U.S. economy?”
Ryan said, “We can make good on our social contract, which I would argue, center-left and center-right, we agree on. We believe in Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid, so let’s make these things solvent. Let’s make them work better. Let’s make them guaranteed and make them solvent for the next generation. That takes persuasion politics.”
Tapper said, “I know that when you were speaker and Donald Trump was president, you guys would talk about this. And he did not understand why you would ever want to do it because it’s bad politics.”
Paul Ryan added, “He’s fading fast. He is a proven loser. He cost us the House in ’18, he cost us the White House in ’20, he cost us the Senate again and again, and I think we all know that. And I think we’re moving past Trump. I really think that’s the case. I can’t imagine getting him the nomination, frankly.”

What is it with these “Republican” “men” and their need to look like they are crying? Democrats are vicious attack dogs, that never quit. Most of the “men” on the GOP side behave like beaten dogs.
Paul Ryan probably HATES Ron DeSantis as much as he hates Trump!! Ryan is a DEMOCRAT!
FOAD Paul.
Hey Paulie girl....YOU CAUSED US TO LOSE THE HOUSE, DOPE!
He has been a Deep State plant the whole time.
For the voting, Trump's picks won, what was it, 91% of their races? And that was WITH the GOP-e Swampies sabotaging and underfunding them: like when they funded Murkowski in Alaska, and pulled funding from Kari Lake in Arizona.
Never-Trumper RINO troll.
I’d toss those shoes in the trash with a warning to the collector.
A guy already proven to be a hopeless loser says what?
It’s not about Trump.
It’s about
DRAIN THE SWAMP
BUILD THE WALL
AMERICA FIRST IN ALL THINGS
PRO 2nd AMENDMENT
PRO LIFE
This guy is SWAMP FILTH. He knew on day 1 that drain the swamp erases their gravy train. He knew Trump is not from the Swamp, and it terrified them.
Find me another candidate who will center his campaign on those 5 definitive issues of Conservatism (WHICH IS NOT TAX POLICY OR SPENDING POLICY) and we’ll support someone other than Trump. Hell, if he shows up, Trump will endorse him.
Since when is it decision who gets nominated......
Says the biggest loser and QUITTER. I think the guy is having a breakdown—he seemed unhinged in that interview. He must know Trump’s numbers look good.
Paul Ryan being the divider he’s always been Ignore the a$$hat is my advice. 🙂
Ryan is a slug with the background history that would scare a junk yard dog.
Thanks for the border wall Ryan you POS.
This guy talks about losers when he was the worst vice presidential candidate in the history of the United States.
Trump is a proven winner as president.
My dictionary has the same illustration.
Paul Ryan is the boob who actually lost the VP debate to Joe Biden, of all people, a mediocre simpleton with at best an average mind and a library of lies he tells constantly. I watched it, Biden treated Ryan like a wayward teenager, called him “boy” and Ryan took it without fighting back. To me, this was the definition of a “loser”.
NEVER FORGET that Paul Ryan was in on the Russian Collusion scam from the very beginning, he should hang with the rest of them
Anyone that loses to Biden in a debate shouldn’t be calling anyone else a loser.
Paul a beta male. A puff, pansy, an empty ball sack. A sniveling, coward and a suck up.
This is what you call “wishful thinking”.
You’re too stupid to discuss this with
