Still waiting to hear a valid reason why Trump is allowed to just make up the rules as he goes.

“Ryan was also asked at the presser if he believed Trump was qualified to serve as president.”

Ryan wants him to run and lose so he can run in 2020 against Hillary.

@maximus You try to order a spine and nads in Washington, D.C., you’ll find they’re on backorder.

@squirreltown “Prove it” is being trotted as the new demand on the trumpeters. Apparently IRS serves a notice of audit, so let him show it.

also he forgot to add an adjective to the phrase “business guy” (shifty, shitty, grifting, take your pick)

Ryan wants to be President, but lacks the courage to stand up to a nothing more than loudmouth narcissistic bully. What’s would happen when Kim Jong-Un or Putin or some other despot kicked sand on you, Paulie?

“Having a business guy as president is not the worst idea in the world,"

After all, the historical success of Republican business guys Warren Harding, Herbert Hoover and “Dubya” Bush in their role as president are well documented.

Trumpsters are furious at that Kurt Eichenwald story about Trump’s foreign connections (wherein Eichenwald actually did journalism). Trump could EASILY refute the negative light that story casts him in by releasing his tax returns, but he’s not - instead he’s going ad hominem on Eichenwald. That’s telling.

“Having a business guy as president is not the worst idea in the world, I’ll say that."
Of course. I mean just look at all the highly successful Presidents who were businessmen. Herber Hoover, Warren Harding, Jimmy Carter, George H W Bush, George W Bush. Why, it’s almost a requirement, isn’t it?

Edit to add: Yes, I left out Truman. Great President. Total flop as a businessman.

Ryan is as revolting as Trump. Different style, but same deceit.

Running a country into the ground ain’t much different than running a baseball team into the ground… aside from the bodycount.

He will never release them - it’s all one big game of “run out the clock”, and the same is true of his health records and anything else he is asked about.

“Having a business guy as president is not the worst idea in the world, I’ll say that."

Can't argue with that. Greenlighting an Adam Sandler project bags that distinction.

And with a 2.1 pt spread between the most qualified and the least qualified presidential candidates of all time, Paul Ryan is spot-on.

Half the country couldn’t make change for a dollar selling 50 cent lemonade from a stand in their front yard.
