To me, Ryan was a disappointment. I had high hopes for him initially. He seemed like a young, charismatic leader. He fought Obama on a number of spending and entitlement issues. But he ended up a failure. I don’t think it was deliberate. I don’t think he hated conservatives like Boehner did. I just don’t think he had it in him to effectively develop a coalition around a Republican agenda. So while I don’t have any personal animus toward him, I chalk him up as another failed Republican Speaker. We’ve had a lot of them since Gingrich.

PRyno was/is a rapid anti-Trumper. He's a Big Spender, not interested in good governance For The People.

The kid tried to please everybody and got rolled by his socialists and corporate friends.

They should hand him a shirt with the word slut across the back.

Exactly...he spent more time attacking the conservative base than he ever did attacking the RATS.
He was either the best infiltrator the RATS ever had or so clueless I’m surprised he has the brain power to articulate a complete sentence.

I’d have to see some data on that. All the interviews I saw on him didn’t reflect that.
All the data I read was about what he was trying to accomplish but was stymied by the Dems.

Obamacare is alive and well, not because of Ryan, but because of the DemocRATS and those Republicans who were scared of offending the liberals.

>> “GOOD RIDDANCE,” Trump loyalist and Fox News commentator Sebastian Gorka thundered on Twitter.

“I AGREE” thundered generally.

“thundered”? Really?
