Paul Ryan is tapping his Rolodex of wealthy Republican donors to fund a new political nonprofit organization committed to promoting the conservative policies that drove the former House speaker’s legislative agenda over two decades in Congress.
The American Idea Foundation, with headquarters located in Ryan’s hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin, is the Republican’s answer to the question of how to influence American public policy while in his political retirement. The organization plans to partner with academics, think tanks, and other groups to address poverty, drug addiction,

What a waste of time, money and energy. Ryan is NO conservative, a pain in the arse to the Trump administration, was a lousy Eddie Munster.

This is Ryan's new version of a Clinton Foundation type of money laundering machine.

He should just retire and be quiet. Why can't the bad ones ever just go away? We let them get away almost with murder, but they keep coming back throwing it in our faces over and over and over again. He's imposed himself on FOX where we're already struggling, and now he wants to create a nonprofit to promote conservatism, something he didn't do as an elected official and something he doesn't even believe! Get outta here! Be gone already.

If Ryan had any principles the Trump agenda would be steam rolling America to even more unheard of heights of prosperity, liberty and rule of law. Instead he worked to undermine Trump at every opportunity. You could never convince me that Ryan is not solely responsible for the House turning over in 2018.

This man is NO conservative.
As Speaker he screwed us over and didn't even leave any candy or flowers.
He is not trustworthy.

He had the chance to do great things and failed to do so. Then he quit. I find if hard to describe the level of disappointment I have for this man.

"Wonkish" is a generous assessment of the former Speaker's motives.

Ryan caught swamp fever. He may not have contracted it in Wisconsin before he went to DC but he sure as hell came home with an incurable case.

Ryan is a fraud as evidenced by his failure to support a true conservative like President Trump. I hope the IRS denies this clown an exemption for his "Make Paul Rich" Foundation

Yes, well...after we, the taxpayers, built that really nice wall around his "home" in Wisconsin, he and his Democrat lobbyist wife, have put it on the market so they can move to the Beltway area. That costs a lot of money. So much for sleeping on the couch in his D.C. office all those years. Maybe his old pal Mittens can give him some advice on how to get rich quick.

He is a member of the pantheon of conservative heroes such as Mitt Romney, Chief Justice Roberts, Jeff Sessions, Mitch McConnell, John McCain, and so on ad infinitum. May his tribe decrease!

I'll pledge to send him one box top from a box of Fruit Loops every year from now on. This clown has some nerve calling himself a Conservative.

I guess that depends on what your definition of conservative is. Who know what this weirdo thinks?

Shouldn't that require that he endorse Conservative policies?

I guess "conservative" means sitting on your ass and doing nothing that would upset your Democrat masters? Seems right, based on the results I've seen .
