Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday that Republicans will lose the presidential election if Donald Trump is the nominee and that he expects hard-right followers of Trump to force a government shutdown within days.
Ryan, who left office in 2019 and had a sometimes contentious relationship with Trump, said he hoped that another Republican nominee would gain enough momentum early next year to overtake Trump after the first primaries. Ryan represented southeastern Wisconsin in Congress for 20 years, the last four as speaker.
“The party that puts the first fresh face forward wins this election,” Ryan said at an event on the University of Wisconsin campus organized by the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs.
“I think leaders should be honest, ethical, and moral”
Paul Ryan is none of those things.
My favourite Paul Ryan moment was when he said Rage Against The Machine was one of his favourite bands, and then Tom Morello wrote a lengthy article in response about how much of a jackass he is.
Like imagine naming your favourite band and then they go super far out of their way to tell you specifically to go fuck yourself lol.
It’s crazy to think that Ryan wouldn’t know the extremely vocal opinions of his alleged favorite band RATM. Like…it’s in the name, and the lyrics, and from all of Morello’s public statements.
…does Paul Ryan not know that he is “the machine”? Or is he just a willfully ignorant asshole?
I think he enjoys it because he is the machine. The wailing of those who oppose him is the most sweet lullaby.
Paul “Do you even lift bro” Ryan?
Of course the only republicans to criticize trump are those no loner in office, or are already on their way out.
Edit: Don’t forget that was instrumental in starting the Tea Party, which is what created the modern republican party as we are witnessing it.
How I miss the days when I disliked Republicans just for being slimey shitweasles and not literal fascists.
