"but didn't have the guts."

Truly, still a party with little to no spine.


Former Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan said at a South Carolina political appearance that “a lot” of Republicans wanted to impeach President Donald Trump but that they “didn’t have the guts.”

There are a lot of people who say they’re going to vote their conscious, they’re going to vote for the Constitution, they’re going to vote for their convictions, but when it gets hard to do that, they don’t do it,” he said.



Tom Rice is a man of conviction,” Ryan added.
Rice has argued that Republicans ought to stick with Trump’s policy ideas but abandon the man. He called his House reelection bid a battle between “nerds” like himself and Ryan, who aim to enact conservative policy, and “flamethrowers” who put allegiance to Trump over all else, The Sun reported.

In other words, most Republicans would make excellent Uvalde, TX police officers.
 
Yep, its pretty obvious that no Republicans worth a damn are ever going to go against Trump and they'll happily ditch any and all personal beliefs to do so.

Did they believe in balancing the budget?
Not any more they don't as the ultra rich deserve more crippling tax cuts.

How about respecting the troops?
If Trump says someones scum then they're scum and that involves "Troops who were captured" who now don't deserve respect.

Were they actually polite to disabled people?
That's in the bin as well as mocking the disabled is now the only way to go.
 
Paul Ryan is trying to rehab himself on a speaking tour, so anything he says reflects back on his own cowardice.
But I must admit, him saying that "Lots of Republicans WANTED to vote to impeach Trump but lacked the guts" is a teachable moment.
It taught me that most of the Republican Party is no more brave or competent than cops in Uvalde, Texas.
So...great...we have half of Congress as gutless as those Uvalde cops but they're sure they're going to take over in November.

Are we sure this is a good idea?

No.. They're cowards... Cruz is the best example of being cowardly.. Trump insults his wife and father on national TV?.. And Cruz still kisses the ass of the orange guy from NY...

That's a coward..

is that why Trump was impeached twice? Once again, your post implies the truth hurts.

It's weird that anyone would pay him money to speak. For years they tried to pass him off as the "young, cool, intellectual" tea party type but the idiot came up with literally socialism as his "free market" social security reform plan. (it would have had the US government purchasing basically every stock in existence)

Very few if any elected reps will commit political suicide.

The Trump faction of the party will not hesitate to primary any republicans who fail to march in lockstep….

screw them they did nothing of any consequence
 
Did Ryan speak out at the time urging his former colleagues to convict? It's possible, but I'm not sure.

I'm in Alabama. Mo Brooks country.

Trump withdrew is support for Brooks, and Brooks said he didn't need him.

Until he did. Now he's begging for Trump to back him again.

I was thinking about that this morning. It's such a shame that this party has turned toward so much hate and divisiveness.

I mean, it was always divisive, but the old GOP is gone, now. Dead. Murdered. Covered with lime and buried under the septic tank.

The new GOP is nothing but hate, and anger, and vitriol.

Very nice of you to cite your rhetoric.

The only question needed to be asked at any time during the reign of the asinine POTUS Biden:
"Are you/family better off now than you were 1.5 years ago?"

Answer: HELL NO

Another alleged all-time low record for Biden's approval rating: 36%


Reuters must be paying off an all democrat panel to obtain a stellar 36% job approval rating for Biden. There is no way in hell that 36% is true. The real number is likely between 9% - 12% (25%-33%) of 36%.

Bless your heart. That's almost as bad as being from Marjorie Taylor-Gazpacho or Lauren Boobert country.
