Day Before Election Paul Ryan Said GOP Not Trump’s Party

 

Breitbart– Following president-elect Donald J. Trump’s historic victory, Paul Ryan seemed eager to heap praise upon the next Republican President and his “enormous political feat.”

“What Donald Trump just pulled off is an enormous political feat. It’s an enormous feat in that he heard those voices that were out there that other people weren’t hearing. And he just earned a mandate. And we now just have a unified Republican government,” Ryan told reporters on Wednesday. “If you listened to us in the closing days of this campaign, whether it was crisscrossing America or crisscrossing Wisconsin, we were making an appeal to our fellow citizens and to all Republicans to come home to unify.”

However, Ryan’s fawning regard for the president-elect on Wednesday seems markedly different from the Republican Speaker’s tone just one day prior to Tuesday’s election.

On Monday, Ryan joined strident #NeverTrump-er Wisconsin talk radio host Charlie Sykes to discuss the next day’s election.

“Although Donald Trump won the nomination ‘fair and square,’ the GOP is not his party, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said Monday on a local radio show,” The Hill reported in a piece titled, “Ryan: GOP Not Donald Trump’s Party.”

“It is no one person’s party. Donald Trump won the primary fair and square,” Ryan toldSykes before the election. 

“As a party leader, as the highest elected official in the party, I have always felt a duty to the process, to democracy, to the primary voter who must be respected. And he won this fair and square,” Ryan added. “But no one person controls this party. This is a bottom-up, organic grassroots party based on conservative principles.”

Ryan decision to appear on Sykes’ show and declare that Trump does not control the Republican party is interesting, as Sykes has spent months attacking Trump on Wisconsin talk radio.  read more

  1. “Day Before Election Paul Ryan Said GOP Not Trump’s Party”

    That’s exactly why we elected him asshole? Don’t you understand anything?

    /can’t believe I ever thot that pos was ok

  2. Ryan is strictly “on probation”. And he must know it. Hence the frantic brown nosing.

    Either he will snap to and produce for Trump. Or he won’t.
    Trump can break him easily. They both know it, the entire House knows it, the enemedia know it.

    Next, Turtle McConnell is also on probation.

    We’ll need more popcorn. This will be fun and satisfying to watch.

    MAGA!

  3. Part of Draining the Swamp is (get a clue!) firing Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell. Let’s get started Jan 21, 2017. President Trump plans to call Congress into session to start work early. Did old SanFranNan make it back into office. I hope part of the Democratic Party revolt will be to dump her scrawny saggy ass as well.

  4. Sorry. I missed the part where Trump declared the Republican Party as his personal possession.
    Ryan and McConnell don’t own the party either.

    All of this is idiotic and unnecessary.

    We Americans own this government and both political parties and to claim otherwise is foolish.

  5. “It’s an enormous feat in that he heard those voices that were out there that other people weren’t hearing.”

    Yes, and YOU didn’t. Too late, Ryan, and not believable coming from you.

    “…we were making an appeal to our fellow citizens and to all Republicans to come home to unify.”

    But not under YOU, sir. Please exit as Speaker Of The House.

  6. “It’s an enormous feat in that he heard those voices that were out there that other people weren’t hearing.”

    Ryan is our rep. We’ve been telling and telling him but he WON’T listen. Can you hear us now??

  7. Ryan is “on probation politically a dead man walking.

    Yeah…this “highest elected official in the Party” thing is a TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE of folks who have been corrupted by power (GOD BLESS LORD ACTON).

  8. Trump needs to dump Ryan, install Paul Nehlen as Speaker of the House.

    I know Ryan has aspirations to run for president, but I swear I’ll help elect that odious old POS Fauxcahontas Warren, first.
    They all have to go. Period.

  9. Tommy. He better stay away from the media ass holes. Leslie Stahl just tried submarining him again. What a bitch. He just just cut them all off except Hannity and the people at Fox Biz.

  10. Just want to mention that National Review is having it’s Grand Post Election Cruise around Cuba. They will leave Fort Lauderdale on November 13th. They will hit Half Moon Cay, Grand Cayman, Cozumel. and Key West. Cocktails and Hor Douvers (?) every night,
    great bullshit shatter from the most brilliant assholes in the
    universe, but dinner each night will be CROW par boiled or pan fried. I was going to go but Mrs. Moe said No. Smart woman that Mrs. Moe.
