Ryan's bailout of PR debt in 2016 made a fortune for the hedge fund boys....and he did not do it out of the goodness of his heart, he is a POS. Stuck US taxpayers with the bill.

And not a single one of those has to do with entitlement reform. Also lol at defending Trump swooning over Putin at Helsinki- was the nadir of his presidency and one of the lower points in modern presidential history.

Haha literally the opposite of what happened. The U.S. never bailed out PR, they put mechanisms in place to allow them to default, for the express reason of preventing the U.S. from needing to bail them out. What you are saying is a misinformation campaign unwittingly relayed by Breitbart and others.

Sorry to admit I thought he was an up and coming superstar at one time.

I also had great disdain for McConnel and Lindsey G.

I said he doesn't have the guts for entitlement reform. Crying whenever the media called for it proves that.

Mate what on earth are you talking about?.

LINK Here is an attack ad depicting Paul Ryan pushing a granny off a cliff from 7 years ago. He always knew it was an unpopular issue but he has made it his keystone issue since the '90s. If you had been paying attention, you would realize he has continued to make it his most important objective. Obviously the liberal in chief knee capped any efforts to do so because he wants to appeal to old people. Of course, Trump also did the same thing on healthcare when he promised to keep pre existing conditions coverage, which doomed any efforts to appease Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan.

I don't agree with 100% of what he's done or said in terms of style. But the truth is you and others on here are just chasing the flavor of the week theme. McConnell, who had 0% chance of getting anything in healthcare reform across the finish line last year, is today's hero, along with Lindsey Graham. Next week they will be cucks again. Everyone but Trump is obviously prone.

A keystone issue he has given lip service since the 90s. Let's be honest mate, his tenure as speaker was a wet fart and you're still bitter over being wrong on a message board in 2016.

What efforts has he undertaken to get entitlement reform rolling? Trump has been willing to listen to just about anyone on policy yet I can't recall Ryan ever seriously pitching entitlement reform. Hell, why not try and get W to go along with it? Ryan has been in DC for a while.

You seem upset, btw

Yep. Unfortunately, the things one must do to get a leadership job in Washington are the very things that make the candidate a poor choice.

Lip service

He knew none of that was passing with the Senate in 2012

A little different haircut, a cap, tennis shoes, and a red bow tie and you have Pee Wee Herman's illegitimate brother.

Ryan is retiring so young. I’m sure Trump has some dirt on him. No reason for him to be retiring this early.
