Well . . . he's in the tank anyway. Conservative? Not sure about that.

Ryan is useless to conservative Americans but he will mysteriously become very rich in the next few years. He has three children. Look for all three to go to the most elite colleges in the country and land ridiculously high paying jobs doing nothing of value. A stopwatch is now ticking for how long it takes Ryan and his wife to buy a summer home in the Hamptons.

The good people at AEI should watch their backs. Paul Ryan's is beholden to one entity...The US Chamber of Commerce and it's open borders' policies. He always had the knife out for President Trump and probably still does.

Well, that confirms the suspicions of many of us surrounding the American Enterprise Institute!

Is a think tank a stealth lobbying organization? Any Conservative organization hiring Paul Ryan should not call themselves Conservative.

Maybe his wife got tired of having her gigolo husband home under foot. Can't live on just his retirement pension and offshore accounts I guess.

So he'll still be working in Washington. I thought his decision to quit the House was to spend more time with his family in Wisconsin.

Once in Washington they never leave. He just went back home to close up the house.
Has he gotten a divorce yet? If not, soon.

I guess I'm like everyone else here. I would assume you would actually have to be a "conservative" to join a "conservative think tank"!!!
So what is a RINO like Paul Ryan doing joining??? Something smells really rotten here!!!

This fool couldn't think when he was in the House of Rep. What makes you think he can think in a tank?

And one of these days, he’ll decide to run for president. And lose.

The Ryan family is moving to Washington DC. How did you miss that?
August 20:
Paul Ryan, the former speaker of the House, is planning on moving his family from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C.
"Now in the private sector, Paul and his family are temporarily renting a house in Maryland, and he’ll be spending time there as well as their family home in Janesville," an aide to Ryan, 49, told Politico.
The 2012 Republican vice-presidential nominee has said he will not be selling his house in his home state but his decision to return to Washington — a city he always said he inhabited only on sufferance and out of duty to his constituents — inevitably raises the possibility of a political comeback, or a lucrative lobbying, corporate or consulting role.

What public policy is Ryan an expert at? Extra points if anyone in the audience can name 2. No takers? Well that is the correct answer, Paul Ryan is an expert at nothing.

Perhaps they will be more successful in getting their moneys worth than WTP were in hiring this man child as a representative to congress.

I didn't really think Rino Ryan would move back to Wisconsin. He and the family are too comfortable in that suburban Virginia mansion with the wall around it.
