Paul Ryan Has A Stark Prediction For Down-Ballot Republicans On Donald Trump

[RandySF]

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) has warned of the negative effect that presumptive GOP 2024 nominee Donald Trump will have on down-ballot Republican candidates.

“I think we’re going to lose more seats than we otherwise would with Trump because there are just too many suburban swing voters that just don’t like him, that therefore vote against Republicans,” Ryan said in an interview with Southern Methodist University’s student-run Daily Campus on Tuesday.

Former GOP hopeful Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the Republican primary race after Super Tuesday, would have been a more unifying presidential candidate, he suggested.

Ryan said he didn’t subscribe to the nationalist populism of Trump, which is where “the bulk” of Republicans are right now, and also called the current GOP a cult of personality tied to Trump rather than based on a set of principles.

3. Principles? We want a leader that knows how to run a great country.

Its not about running a fukkin school.

4. Trump is Paul Ryan with the nerve to be in your face with the principals Ryan stands for.

They are republicons, "They keep in in the Family".

Ryan fools no-one.

22. Thanks! I haven't even noticed! It took me 10 1/2 years to get this far.

Some day, when the tide has turned, and we are living in the clover, we will look back on these days and our hard-won victories.

12. When Ryan goes into that voting booth, he will still vote for what he calls "a cult of personality".

The difference between Ryan and Trump is that Trump is embarrassingly gauche, while Ryan tries to hide his cruelty beneath a layer of "respectability".

[Blue Owl]

13. I sure wouldn't wanna be down-ballot from tRump

Lots of residual, toxic fecal runoff and the stench would be unbearable....

14. You mean those who have been truckling to Loser J Stench are going to get burned?

Mrs Karma will be busy this year.
Pro tip: it's no longer a party, merely MAGA Death Cult. In its well-derserved death throes.

15. LOL. How ironic that Paul Ryan is commenting about PRESIDENT Biden and Heir Orange when in

2012, he debated then Vice-President Joe Biden in the one and only VP debate.

That was when Romney-Ryan went head-to-head with Obama-Biden and lost.

Obama destroyed Romney ("I have binders of women" ) in his debates and Biden beat Ryan in theirs.

In 2008, Biden went against Sarah "Can I call you Joe?" Palin (I have a 'secret' jab that only works if I can call you Joe) and beat her relatively easily.
