Discussion: Paul Ryan: GOP Lawmakers Should Attend Convention No Matter What

It could be something you’ll remember for the rest of your life…
OR
It could be something forgotten on cue. You just never know with Republican memory holes.

I WOULD go.

As a policeman ordered to do so (on 4 AM-10 AM shift, while they’re sleeping it off) by my Lieutenant.

I’d buy a ticket to see Paulie’s head turn 360 degrees and spew pea soup.

For old-school Republicans, this must be like a family reunion that they’ve looked forward to every four years . . .
. . . Except this year:

• The two biggest branches of the family are promising to spend the whole time fighting—possibly with actual violence.

• Attendence will entail being forced to watch how a once-great family has completely degenerated.

• There’s also a strong likelihood that the resulting media attention will further blacken the family name, with disasterous effects on all attendees’ ability to continue holding their jobs.

So I understand anyone wanting to skip it this year.
But I also understand Ryan wanting as many people to hold his hand through this clusterfck as possible.

Dear Paul Ryan: Why not invite Sarah Palin as “Queen of the Ball” ? She would love to come, I know it !

I’ll take lying for 1000… Look, Ryan is finally being exposed for the fraud he is. The Freedumb Caucus is out of control, and Ryan is too gutless to use his power as Speaker to try to reign them in. If he did that, he’d be out the door faster than Boehner, and Ryan has bigger plans for himself. Except, he’s stuck. If he can’t get Republican officeholders to the convention, he’s really screwed.

Just be sure to stop by the kiosk and buy your #nevertrump flak jacket and combat helmet before entering the arena. You might want to wear them back to you hotel room as well.

I’ve never heard that before.

Isn’t that Trump’s line?

Ryan is one of what, half a dozen republicans who are actually required to go to the convention (the candidates, him because he’s presiding, dunno who else)? But really, it’s natural for him to pretend that things are going to not be that bad.

“Hey, I’m going to try to steal the nomination away from trump, don’t you guys want to see that?”

Even if there is a Tornado, Pandemic, Hurricane, The Second Coming, Nuclear Attack on American Soil or for the Real Reason, You Hate Each Other and don’t have the guts to stop seeing each other. But the most IMPORTANT Reason, Your Purse Doesn’t match your shoes.

Breaking News! Jeb Bush has decided to attend Republican convention after all. He was not persuaded by Ryan but by his big brother, George W.
