Once again, former House Speaker Paul Ryan has managed to infuriate the entire world. The long-hated “turncoat Republican,” as some describe him, garnered the world’s unanimous rage again when excerpts from journalist Tim Alberta’s upcoming book, “American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump,” were obtained by The Washington Post and then described in detail in a piece published Thursday.The excerpts showed Ryan trash-talking the president. Why this angered conservatives is clear. What’s not so obvious is why this also angered liberals.In interviews with Alberta, the former House speaker had described President Donald Trump as an uneducated buffoon

Had I known how rotten Romney and this guy are I would have not voted at all in 2012. As bad as Obama was, we might have had it even worse with RINO’s Romney and Ryan. And no I won’t be buying his book.

Ryan was banking on securing a forum for trash talking the President. I wonder how that's working out for him? He thinks it's an admirable skill to know something about government. Any buffoon can hold government office. Don't believe me? Look at all the buffoons we have in office. Paul Ryan, most hated by both sides. The Haman Effect at work once again!

I understand that most politicians are egotistical and not very intelligent, but I am speechless about how narrow-minded Paul Ryan must be, and how little he understands the way the USA is supposed to work under the Constitution. We finally have an accountable executive branch that is trying to deliver what the people want, and this guy was part of the resistance against it. We really need term limits for the House and Senate to prevent these jerks from retaining power.

Dopes like Ryan would rather be nice and lose the Country to dem insanity rather than fight for the things we believe in and that are good for the Country. If Ryan lived in 1776 there would never have been an American Revolution because we actually had to FIGHT for our freedom.

#1, for you not to vote is just what the Dems want.

I'm sure glad that traitorous worm is gone. He is one of the main reasons that the republicans lost the mid terms. And as far as a future in politics I would say that he burned his bridges.

We knew Ryan was/is a weasel. An incredibly ambitious man - with a Dem wife - who never quite made it… He is not a Republican. Viewed as weak by the Dems. Okay...
I was fascinated to see the writer’s so-called lefty heavy hitters. Not really. This almost looked like a back door attempt to get a lot of trash talk out against President Trump.
I don’t understand the fascination with BizPac Review.

Well, this is rich. Paul “I’m not a Traitor” calling PDJT a buffoon.
Seems he misplaced his antecedent.
Buffoon.

Trump graduated from a military prep school and then went on to Wharton. Wharton is so far above the mental reach of Ryan it is hilarious. Ryan tries to mock his better, and Trump IS his better. Trump is trying to stop the gravy trough, and of course that makes him ignorant in the eyes of Ryan and those like him. I freely admit I did not vote for Romney in 2012. Something was really off about both of those two, and I just could not bring myself to validate those two con artists.

"The Cowardly Ryan" was solely responsible for the House going to the dems. There was a parade of GOP retirements in the House. With just a minimum of effort he could have used his influence to stagger some of those exits into the next term
Unfortunately "The Cowardly Ryan" was too busy giving Trump the finger on his way out the door.

Sorry for the second post, but I just couldn't let this go. #9, you pick the lesser of the two evils, or you pick the party that you most agree with. But you ** do ** vote. For us to *not vote* is also what the Dems want. Please look at the big picture. Every election time we have people talking about not voting, or saying "I'll never vote for a Republican again." That only helps the Dems.

I used to believe that "not voting helps the dems" thing too. I even allowed myself to be bullied into voting for McCain and Romney, even though I found them both odious. Then the realization hit me that the lesser of two evils is still evil, and as long as we keep voting for evil that's all we are ever going to get.
The only way the republicans are ever going to allow a non-uniparty candidate is if one is forced on them under threat of losing. Look at how they have tried to destroy Trump. We got lucky this time. If they push another uniparty milquetoast they should not count on my vote.

This is just wrong. Paul Ryan was a war hero! He went into the Army just before Desert Storm and got a Purple Heart for valor resulting in injury on the battlefield. He got a bronze star for courage in combat, having thrown himself on a grenade which resulted in abdominal injuries from which he has never fully recovered. He also fought in the War on Terror both in Iraq and Afghanistan where, as a Ranger, he took out three sniper nests armed with only a pistol and the courage drawn from his love of the country. He deserves...wait a sec...oh, THAT Paul Ryan. Sorry, wrong Paul Ryan. The congressman? He’s a weenie.

Cowards seldom speak up when they are faced with a fighter. Not until they are with their own kind and not in any immediate danger. Mr. Ryan is living proof.

Many of Lincoln's cabinet considered him a buffoon and not fit to be President. Lincoln actually made a point of bringing in Democrats and other people opposed to his policies from time to time. He also imprisoned newspaper owners and shut down anti-Union northern papers for sedition during the Civil War. Many people in the Democratic Congress considered Jimmy Carter to be a weak and clownish President especially after the economy tanked and inflation exploded due to his handling of the oil crisis and Iranian hostage taking. It doesn't surprise me that someone who came up in the Republican ranks and paid their dues following the "Reagan" party line would see Trump the billionaire first time politician as an interloper and party crasher. Ryan had a very high opinion of himself especially when it came to economic and budget matters and no doubt resented Trump's disruptive disregard for "appropriate" behavior. Trump is like Randle McMurphy to Ryan's Nurse Ratchet.

Isn't Paul Ryan the skinny goober who was overwhelmed in debates with the dumbest dimwit who ever occupied the Vice President position? That Paul Ryan?

Just more coal fueling the "Dump Trump Special" rolling on down the track. We're howling about it. Ryan will be on a promotion tour that will gain a new "Dump Trump" quote a day...and now it is bi-partisan, former Speaker, respected.
and all that.
The true believers won't accept the fact that the national Republican party is just half of the Uniparty that rules the Federal system. Everyone wails about getting rid of the RINOS, and then will vote for the duplicitous RINO over a Dem. Watch what's happening in Alabama and Kansas senate races as the GOPe is pulling out the stops to protect itself from insurgents. The same GOPe forces tried to defeat Trump to the very end in '16, and are colluding with the Dems to deny PDT's re-election in '20.
Like #12, I ain't buying that "vote for any Republican" trope anymore. Evil is indeed evil regardless of degree.

During the lame duck session, Ryan had the chance to fund the wall or pass any number of Republican initiatives. Instead he funded everything the democrats wanted and went beyond. Ryan's disdain for Trump is rooted in a narcissistic belief that he and the Democrats are oh so sophisticated. Well Ryan, we don't need any of your fake wisdom. What we need is rather simple, and thus beyond your ability to understand. We need to follow the constitution as it was envisioned and written. We need to move power from the federal government out to each individual state, and we need to encourage and enable every American to govern themselves and take care of themselves.

We all knew Ryan was bad news even before he became speaker. He turned out to be a worse disaster than previously expected. I never did like him and now the lids off his garbage can and we all knew we were right about him.

“Because, I’m telling you, he didn’t know anything about government . . . I wanted to scold him all the time," Ryan reportedly said in the book. “Those of us around him really helped to stop him from making bad decisions. All the time. We helped him make much better decisions, which were contrary to kind of what his knee-jerk reaction was. Now I think he’s making some of these knee-jerk reactions.”
Ryan apparently knows all about the ways of the government. Trump is not a politician. Perhaps that's the very reason that the former was such a disaster and the latter has been so effective.

Turncoat Ryan still made out. He got the goobermint to build him a high security fence, harden his house, and build a SCIF, all at taxpayer expense. Plus he still has access to TS documents via his SCIF so he can still manipulate the goobermint surrepeditiously.

Ryan, not particularly bright, and, at minimum, a slow-on-his-feet thinker calls Trump an "uneducated buffoon who allegedly knew nothing and needed to be monitored like a child".
Hilarious. Either Ryan is just stupid himself, while convinced of his own genius, or he is just a paid minion of the Open Borders Chamber of Commerce thug, Donahue, just throwing insults he knows are not true.
I imagine that the 'paid lackey' is the correct choice, although I am convinced that Ryan is, at best, a 110 IQ type, probably not that high.
