Paul Ryan never expected Trump to win

“He knows that. Donald Trump’s a very — he was a very unconventional candidate. He’s going to be an unconventional president. What I like about it, in my, like I said, almost daily conversations, is he’s just a get-things-done kinda guy,” Ryan continued.

Ryan is a little boy , in way over his head

He is only propped up by Romney and Co.

Now that Trump has deconstructed Romney.....the Little Boy doesn’t know what to do

Forget the campaign and focus on passing Trump’s agenda

Ryan doesn’t see himself as part of the GOP old guard but he is.
He showed that during the campaign.

Trump handed them a gift in spite of themselves.
Now they are all excited about what to do with it.

But they weren’t gutsy enough to fight Obama the last 8 years or smart enough to gauge the mood of the electorate leading up lto Trump’s election victory.

And I don’t believe they are man enough or smart enough to take full advantage of the fantastic opportunity has given them.

Well they won’t have to fight Obama anymore. Trump has the agenda and all they have to do is pass it

Heard this part this morning on the drive in:

“We’ve talked about — the Constitution, Article I on the Constitution, the separation of powers. He feels very strongly, actually, that– that, under President Obama’s watch, he stripped a lot of power away from the Constitution, away from the Legislative Branch of government. And we want to reset the balance of power, so that people and the Constitution are rightfully restored,” Ryan said.

NOW you jackasses want to assert your power, after 8 years of slurping up everything Zer0 through at you.

Ouch, that is gonna leave a mark! How true!

Mykroar...

I have been thinking about this dance with Romney to give him something to do. You know what I really think it is about? To keep him off the streets so that Democrats don't get any ideas of asking him to run as a "D" in 2020.

Think about it, the way he ran MA as a Gov., and how bad the Dem's bench is, he is their perfect candidate in 2020...

What he meant to say is I was whoring for the wrong candidate.

If Paul Ryan were half as conservative as he pretends to be, Donald Trump would NOT have even run for President.

And, Romney would have 100% of today’s “bi-partision” (buy-a-part-of) the Washington-NYC-New England globalist agenda-con’s support!

Paul Ryan puts up with people like us.

Just barely.

I remember 2008. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect Obama to win. It changed my life. It changed my view of the American people. I bought a small farm in south central KY that November and moved there in 2011, after 46 years in Seattle.

It was, and still is, the right thing to do. The only way Trump is fixing this economy is if he is the Beast of Revelation, because it’s bigger than any human solution can fix. That goes for Europe and China too.

“Ryan is a little boy , in way over his head”

My view of Ryan is that he is exceptionally bright, and very energetic - but that he has been caught up in and seduced by the power and glamour of D.C. (Potomac Fever).

It happens to most over time (almost all). All the time spent fundraising draws their attention toward deal making powerbrokers, until their whole worldview revolves around it, rather than the issues or principles they valued initially. It is the natural effect of the job, like calluses to laborer.

Inspirational leadership or crisis can still bring out the best in such politicians. I hope that we see this with Ryan. He is young enough to adapt, and he is exceptionally bright and energetic.

Exactly! After 8 years of rolling over for Obama to piss on Article I of the Constitution, RATBOY RYAN now opens his mouth with Trump.

That's because Ryan's globalist & foreign masters wanted him to go along with Obama's unconstitutional sellout of America. Now those same masters want Ratboy to stop Trump's defense of America - in the name of Article I of the Constitution. Despicable!

Too bad this discredited man is still Speaker of the House. He had no clue what conservative patriots were thinking.

I wouldn't give that much credit to the beast...God's power is stronger than any problem we may have.
