The GOP has tons and tons of statehouses, governors, a lock on the House of Reps and die-hard fans who are mesmerized by their hugely successful media empire.

And the party is broke, has a mean, shameless, ignorant, lying clown for a presidential candidate, and no leadership whatsoever in the house or senate.

I don’t get it.

Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong said in a statement to TPM: “There were no conditions, just the normal inquiries to make sure a Father’s Day interview was actually about Father’s Day…”

AshLee kills at the poker tables.

according to the story, which ran online under the magazine’s Celebrity Babies vertical.

I don’t know if People Magazine’s editors did that on purpose, but it’s very appropriate.

If Paul Ryan can’t even stand up to Donald Trump, how can we expect him to stand up for Janesville?

I can’t wait to see ads like these in heavy circulation in the near future…

With Trump’s political “mystique” beginning to crumble around him – release of the Trump U docs, insults to a Federal Judge, increasing attacks on the Press, revelations about robo-generated tweets, PGA pulling out of Doral, etc – Ryan may want to seriously consider whether or not to support Trump. In fact, the whole GOP may want to start a reconsideration of all this. Every day, Trump makes it more and more clear that he is in no way qualified to be the President

This is all about Speaker Ryan’s openness. He is such a man of honor that he would naturally hang up if any questions were not the ones he pre-approved.

What a Saint!

And, of course, instead of saying “well, then go somewhere else for your free publicity,” People slobbed his knob anyway.

Conservative Pretty Princess Elsa Paul Ryan has a lot else going on. He has been working really hard, getting a lot done with a tremendous amount of competence. Princess has been more competent than John Boehner without getting drunk or turning orange.
