Conservative Analyst Mocks Paul Ryan for Allowing Trump to Constantly Humiliate Him

Last edited Sat Sep 9, 2017, 06:53 AM - Edit history (1)

For as much as I absolutely despise Donald Trump, I might loathe Speaker of the House Paul Ryan more. A hypocritical, sniveling weasel with a clear disdain for the poor, Ryan is nothing more than a gutless coward who’s spent most of his political career trying to screw over the majority of Americans for the benefit of the richest among us.

There are many sad realities that Trump’s rise to the top of the GOP has exposed about Republicans, but one thing that stands out is how it’s shone a bright light on the weakness of Paul Ryan. Time after time he’s been forced to publicly condemn something Trump’s said or done, yet he’s never had the strength to do the right thing and directly stand up to the current “president.”

No matter how inexcusable or deplorable Trump’s behavior has gotten, Ryan’s supported and defended him, even though it’s abundantly clear he knows this “president” is unfit for office.

It’s this cowardice that MSNBC conservative analyst Nicolle Wallace mocked on Thursday while discussing remarks the Speaker of the House made following the spending deal Trump struck with Democrats that Ryan had called “disgraceful” earlier in the day. She insisted that Ryan needed to “act like a man” instead of letting Trump constantly make a fool out of him.

It's kinda sad that it takes someone as bad as Palin or Trump to alienate Republican voters, but anyone who continues to support Trump no matter what ridiculous idea he comes up with - like Ryan - ends up looking like a fool. Trump may be only concerned with placating his shrinking base, but members of Congress are facing elections...

He talks tough when it comes to screwing over the weak, but rolls over on his back for anyone who will promise to give him his precious tax cuts.

...the republicans are fighting among themselves??? That, right there, pretty much says everything you want to know about the current GOP. The only way the opposition party can have any input is to have these assholes infighting. Lovely.

That smarmy, little twerp, Paul Ryan, has always been showing his true colors. I really don't know why these people are shocked to see it now. What they saw this week is what he has always been. The same goes for Mitch McConnell and the vast majority of House and Senate republicans. They've always been that way.
