This whole Gooper thing has really become a ship without a rudder.
If RAyn isn’t the Convention Chair, who will run their big shebang in Cleveland using parliamentary procedure or Robert’s Rules of Order, or whatever the fuck they do to pass the time? Who will coordinate the after-parties and the ballrooms for the all-important donors? Who will MC this pathetic affair, and most importantly, who will rock the turntables? Rinse Pubis? Whoa…boy. That’s as far out there as you can go…
Please blow up this entire thing before it even takes place. The suspense is killing me…
Well, that’s another fine mess they’ve gotten themselves into…
Carry on…
There is a revolution going on within the Republican party and the so-called conservative movement. Ryan is keeping his options open hoping to be the “fresh face” of whatever shapes the outcome, including a run for the Presidency. To embrace Trump and all that has formed that vile form of politics and policy is to put a yoke around ones neck. After the storm passes, Ryan wants to be free of that yoke. P.S. He already has a few yokes of his own making…
Agreed completely. I don’t even see him with dreams of 2020 anymore. If he did, he’d end up being a sort of JEB clone, getting zero traction with the base and being constantly humiliated by the extreme crazy faction of the Rethugs. There’s just no point. I understand why the GOP establishment went in hard to get Ryan in the Speaker’s chair. But, having said that, they’re up against a wall even worse than when Ryan first got it. The wall is called Rump and the army he commands.
Nice and prompt conciliatory move by Paul Ryan that goes a long way to remedy his earlier blunder of publicly insulting and humiliating his party’s nominee. Both Ryan’s and Trump’s presidential campaigns will benefit as a result. Win-win for both.
I’m surprised Ryan didn’t just peremptorily step down thus exiting the clown show, leaving Trump holding the bag and probably ending any further questions about an endorsement.
