Yes. It’s a delicate move, he’s got to get Pence out of office, then either 1) get rid of Trump before a new VP takes office,2) get turtle to Garland a replacement nominee, or 3) get Trump to nominate him, c.f. Jerry Ford.

I really feel the need for a shower every time this guy pops up on my screen. He’s oily & evil & needs to burrow back under wherever it was he was spawned from.

Such courage, Paul! You are truly an inspiration. He used the word “veracity” so Trump would assume he’s talking about a location. Very smart.

Ryan’s statement could be characterized as "just enough cover your ass to cover your ass."

How do invertebrates like Ryan and Rubio get around? A brace? A harness? A corset?

Ryan disagrees with Trump… finally. Clear evidence Republicans are ever so slowly backing away from Trump.

So in the inevitable flood of books about this debacle, who get to use A Treasonous Path for their title? That’s a good 'un!

Ryan’s (and the GOP’s) occasional distancing from Trump has been pretty elastic. Ryan will bounce back.
