Paul Ryan: Donald Trump can help make reality of bold House policy agenda

Once he finally fires that Ryan Guy and sends him back to Wisconsin!!!



No, "details" (much like "actually knowing what you are talking about", or "thinking that it is important that a presidential candidate do so") are for "NeoCons" and "Cucks". "Wussies" are generally everyone NOT ON THE TRUMP TRAIN, WOOT, WOOT, LOUD-NOISES-OF-EMOTIONAL-AFFIRMATION-IN-PLACE-OF-IDEOLOGICAL-ADVOCACY

What I find funny about the whole thing...I have no use for Ryan, and won't usually say anything decent about him, but he really was a true believer in conservatism, or so I thought. He got credit for standing by his convictions, even if his convictions where kinda crappy. So the one thing I ever gave Ryan credit for, and with this he has kinda shown that even that is not true. His convictions where for sale. I find it kinda sad, and kinda funny.

I think that is "yet to be determined, but possibly accurate", rather than demonstrated. His editorial announcing support pretty much tied it directly to Trump's support of his policy agenda. If he changes House Policy to reflect Trump's brand of national-socialism, instead of expecting Trump to sign what the House Passes, then that will indicate that it may be correct. The preponderance of evidence is still against it.

As someone who is generally "Pro-Adult", however, I think you might find a lot to like in Ryan, both in that he's at least willing to take the heat to start a conversation on how to save the entitlements, and in that he's willing to admit where he was wrong.

:raises eyebrow: Ryan promised a return to Regular Order, and that's what we've gotten. The House isn't a wreck, it's functioning at the pace of its members, rather than at the pace of centralized decisions made by 2 or 3 leaders.

He promised that to the members, he promised us that we would have a House that is not an embarrassment. He has yet to deliver.

Actually I'm pretty proud of the House for remembering that the Imperial Presidency isn't the Constitutional model, and taking back the initiative on policy.

Because the Freedumb Caucus continues to enforce the Hastert rule.

The not so teflon don has much in common with the freedumbers .

Late is better than never. I bet once he figured out that Kristol is full of it he finally smelled the coffee, figured out the politics of this thing. I had high hopes for Ryan but so far he has been a disappointment as Speaker.

...you pretty much got the "never". It wasn't an endorsement; it was a concession.

Headline writers now tend to suck big time, the correct headline should have been Ryan Boards the Trump Train.

".... kicking and screaming and sitting close to the emergency exit..."

Even better. Losers need to admit that they lost, the sooner the better, something that the Coastal Elite had better pound into that nearly useless grey matter of theirs, the sooner the better.
 
Re: Paul Ryan Board the Trump Train

Holding off on endorsing Trump is a luxury Ryan could afford as a columnist, blogger, or maybe even chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. Not really as speaker.

All the available evidences suggests Ryan will easily dispatch his Trump-supporting primary challenger in Wisconsin. But if he held out too long, it was conceivable that the challenger would receive, and benefit from, appreciative Trump tweets about his candidacy. In an era of Eric Cantor-style upsets, who needs that?

Not Paul Ryan, apparently. More importantly, Ryan has a legislative agenda. He would have no doubt preferred that President Marco Rubio got to play Ronald Reagan to his Jack Kemp, signing Ryan reform measures into law. He's stuck with Trump instead.

Why Paul Ryan endorsed Donald Trump

THIS

Ryan faced few good options. His decision is debatable, but hardly shocking to anyone who has been paying attention.

No it is not debatable amongst reality based people, but thanks for playing.
