Paul Ryan backtracks on whether Trump will be re-elected
CNN Politics ^ | March 13, 2019 | Elizabeth Landers

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan tweeted Wednesday that President Donald Trump's "record of accomplishment is why he'll win re-election," a significant difference from comments the Wisconsin Republican made earlier this week where he described how he thought some Democrats could beat Trump in the 2020 election.

"To be clear, GOP wins elections when they're about ideas not when they're personality contests like Dems & media want. We're clearly better off because of @RealDonaldTrump," stated Ryan's tweet Wednesday from his @SpeakerRyan official account. "His record of accomplishment is why he'll win re-election especially when compared to Dems' leftward lurch."

Ryan, who left his position at the end of the previous Congress, faced criticism from Republicans over comments he made Monday that he believed some Democrats could beat Trump, according to a report from Treasure Coast Newspapers. "The person who defines that race is going to win the race," Ryan said during a lecture, according to the publication. "If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn't going to win it."

The comments sparked a direct rebuke from the most senior Republican in the House, Kevin McCarthy, who said on Tuesday that he disagreed with the former speaker.

"I believe this President will win re-election," McCarthy said in response to a question from CNN at a weekly House GOP news conference. "I believe this President could run on many different items."

Paul Ryan is a snake, like all Bush League Republicans.
They have made careers of selling US down the river.

I wish Ryan would slither back into the slimy dark pit of hell he slithered out of. He’s the last person this country needs to get itself right again. Two-face mf’r.

This Eddie Munster look-alike was, and is, nothing but a UniParty hack. For 2 years, he did nothing but hinder the MAGA agenda. He sold us down the drain over and over just to buy time to allow the House to swap over to the RAT side. He’s a traitorous POS. One has to wonder how much he was paid to do this. Maybe little Eddie Munster Ryno ought to be investigated to see how much he got from Soros and/or the DNC.

You have to believe that Ryan cannot go anywhere without worrying that a PO’d Republican will grab him and water board him to find out why he became a traitor to Republicans.

Ryan’s just trying to figure out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life after cashing in on his ‘get out of jail free’ card (i.e. agreed to retire from politics).

When I want Paul Ryan’s opinion, I’ll ask Emperor Zero.

It was ALL fake news.
Invent a story by twisting his words, then say his actuall meaning is ‘backtracking’.

LOL!
It was clear what he meant: Trump can win on issues, not personality.
But the media wants to ignore the issues and make the choice emotional.

(Not that Ryan isn’t a snake, of course. But that’s beside the point.)

He’s such a slimeball, let’s hope his attempt to butter up Trump doesn’t work and he gets nailed for some of his crimes.

Paul Rino is still butt-hurt that he was going to be Cantored.

“Backtracking” that’s a good word for a “BackStabber”.

NO thanks to your sorry, gutless ass.

You had a golden opportunity to bury the Dems and all their socialist garbage, but you failed.
