Shut Down 2016 Rumors
All of 'em? Even the Roger Stone, Matt Drudge affair?
Up to this point I’ve been assuming Ryan was “playing hard to get,” but would actually welcome the opportunity to be the anti-Trump party savior. But now I’m wondering if maybe he really would rather sit this one out than have to try to unify the warring idiots, extremists, and outright lunatics that make up the GOP base.
Don’t get me wrong, the guy obviously has Presidential ambitions. But his chances of actually winning the Presidency as the guy who was gifted the nomination by a deadlocked convention look pretty slim in light of the massive Trumper Tantrum we all expect if that were to happen.
He’s still fairly young, so he probably figures it’s better to let Trump or Cruz (or whoever the nominee is) fail, and then try again in 4 or 8 years.
Did his tears turn to flawless diamonds as they ran down his face?
He’s such a fucking phony.
and I just might barf (I know this is juvenile language, so please forgive me) Even MSNBC has brought in its 'heavy hitters" to cover this as if it were some kind of urgent international news. Give me a break!
he could still be leaving door open to being drafted. We’ll see what he says.
The same way he unequivocally turned down ever considering becoming the Speaker of the House?
Ryan: “And I will be reminding you often and repeatedly, right up until July 18, that I will not run!”
The Con establishment responds:
Oh help us Pauly Ryan. You’re our only hope!
The big news is that he shaved his face!
Paul Ryan is such a liar.
It’s the only element of his being that is certain!
I’m all for religious diversity in the White House, but given followers of Any Rand almost uniquely refuse to recognize the fundamental principle of the Golden Rule, which is also the principle behind the Greek concept of politics and civil service in general, maybe not this one. I guess we could argue at least he’s honest about it, but that’s not how morality works. We’re supposed to be honest about our selfishness while working to overcome it and to build institutions that guard against it (e.g. checks and balances), not to celebrate it.
Yet another republican moral infant.
The Donald is pleased that he will not have to deign to deal with Ryan as he has his other challengers:
That’s one of the many things I don’t understand about GOP politics. Why can’t a charter member of the idiots, extremists and outright lunatics unite his brethren?
