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 were going to lose more seats than we otherwise would with Trump because there are just too many suburban swing voters that just dont like him, that therefore vote against Republicans, Ryan said in an interview with Southern Methodist Universitys 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 didnt 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.

(22,146 posts)The difference between Ryan and Trump is that Trump is embarrassingly gauche, while Ryan tries to hide his cruelty beneath a layer of "respectability".

Pro tip: it's no longer a party, merely MAGA Death Cult. In its well-derserved death throes.

(7,003 posts)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.
