This interview is excellent news as Paul Ryan delivers a full-throated dismissal of Donald Trump and puts himself as the arbiter of “acceptable republicans” moving forward.
This Big Club operation in public is exactly what we need to see happen in order to wage a war against uniformed enemies within the republican party. Keep in mind, as Paul Ryan talks about winning elections he recently campaigned for Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger in their failed 2020 midterm reelection campaigns.
Nothing about this interview where Paul Ryan positions himself against the blue-collar working-class MAGA movement is bad. Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and for Paul Ryan to openly proclaim his anti-Donald Trump allegiances, which will soon evolve into open promotion for Ron DeSantis, will only help the awakening as we highlight the Republican Club strategy for 2024. WATCH:
As I have said for years, there was no doubt in my mind that Paul Ryan was positioning himself to lead the “establishment” republican wing of the UniParty. He has now openly and publicly embraced that role. Pretenses are dropping, and that is a glorious thing. However, in reality, Paul Ryan as a candidate for Vice-President in 2012 received less votes in his own state of Wisconsin than candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020.
The ‘America First’ national agenda, both economically and in larger global terms, was not represented in either wing of the UniParty system until Donald Trump came into politics. The economics of the thing, the financial graft that oils the wheels of politics, is the source of all opposition.
On the part where Ryan outlines his view of the current financial situation, I can only laugh in his face.
This is the guy who was Speaker of the House of Representatives when he dispatched regular budgetary order in order to facilitate President Obama’s need for omnibus spending and continuing resolution bills. Obviously, Ryan needs to pretend not to know that, and counting on, as Jonathan Gruber would say, “the stupidity of the American electorate.”
This battle into 2024 is going to be epic and fun.
Ryan named Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and South Carolina Senator Tim Scott as his three favorites. {source} DeSantis fighting Disney was “really good for him, from a political perspective,” Ryan said.
As the House Speaker, Paul Ryan undercut President Trump at every turn in the first two years of his administration. Ryan’s duplicity included his unwillingness to support Devin Nunes and other House chairman in their subpoena efforts against the bad actors in the intelligence community. Paul Ryan was, in deliberate terms, knowingly and with specific intent protecting the corrupt DC interests.
Yes, it is something he would rather people not remember, but it was Speaker Paul Ryan who blocked republicans in the House from issuing subpoenas in 2017 and 2018 for the election surveillance and FBI lies against President Trump. It is also worth remembering that Paul Ryan’s leadership PAC funded democrat Conner Lamb in the 2018 mid-term election after Ryan announced his intended departure.
Paul Ryan has always been the type of DeceptiCon who could get the CPAC audience to stand and cheer for him only minutes after passing a massive omnibus spending package to support President Obama. Thus, the UniParty maneuvers are always present; including when Ryan said: “I am not going to defend Trump – not now, and not in the future.”
Additionally, former House Speaker Paul Ryan previously held a fundraising event for Liz Cheney (March 2021), and then Paul Ryan announced a failed attempt to fundraise for Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger.. ..
A week after saying any Democrat who made the 2020 presidential race about “Trump’s personality” will beat him, Fox News owner Rupert Murdoch hired Paul Ryan to serve as a board member for the news organization. This announcement followed on the heels of Fox News hiring the former head of the DNC, Donna “Debate-Gate” Brazile, as a contributor. Yes, it is clear to see the direction and intent of Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch.
[…] Lachlan Murdoch, the heir apparent and eldest son, who co-chairs News Corp and runs the parent company of Fox News, has reportedly told DeSantis that the group would back him if he ran in the next election. “Lachlan has been keen on Ron for some time,” said the i’s source. “He’s viewed within the organization as a sanitized version of Donald.” (read more)
It must also be remembered that in 2013 Fox News worked behind the scenes to facilitate the Senate’s comprehensive immigration reform platform. Additionally, a year later, Murdoch himself advocated for Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio as the preferred candidates in 2016, using Megyn Kelly to achieve their objective.
Yes, it is all one unfortunate, political and ideological continuum.
PRESIDENT TRUMP – “RINO Paul Ryan, who became a lame duck Speaker of the House, lost all vote-getting capability with the people he represented in Wisconsin, and was the single biggest factor, other than Romney himself, for the monumental Romney/Ryan loss in the Presidential race of 2012 (I got more votes by far, 75M, than any sitting president in history!), and he is now speaking to other Republicans telling them how to win elections. Interestingly, I was in the Great State of Wisconsin when they booed him off the podium—I literally had to come to his rescue.
Ryan should instead be telling them how to stop the cheating of elections and that we would have won if Republican leadership fought the way the Democrats did.
It was the day that Ryan went on the board of Fox (Fox will never be the same!) that Fox totally lost its way and became a much different place, with millions of its greatest supporters fleeing for good. Paul Ryan has been a curse to the Republican Party. He has no clue as to what needs to be done for our Country, was a weak and ineffective leader, and spends all of his time fighting Republicans as opposed to Democrats who are destroying our Country.
As a Republican, having Paul Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss, for both you, the Party, and America itself!” (link)
Just keep exposing the losers PDJT and you Too Sundance.
Where would we be with you two MAGA leaders?
Thanks for all you do!
you should be taking information from here and shoving it Democrat faces on their forums. Disqus is a good platform because you can use tempmail to create an account so that when they do ban you for posting facts you can just create a new sock and keep shoving facts in their faces.
it’s fun
also, so everyone sees this
You post facts on Democrat spaces because you want Normies or Independents to see. Keep it factual and not personal when dealing with their top talking points agents. The idea is to get Normies to see facts in those spaces.
Mediaite is a fun one to hit up for trolling the Democrat paid trolls.
Ever since ‘The Hill’ cut off all commenting, they have been dispersed to other sites and can’t bomb stories like they used to.
If anyone knows, why did The Hill dump their containment comment section for Antifa?
like, is there a reason other than what a dump that comment section was with their flooding?
They’ve been instructed to,‘would be my guess. These decisions aren’t made in a vacuum.
Ryan has perfected the gracious loser role that the Rs are supposed to play in the UniParty system.
Thoughtful, gracious, pragmatic loser is the pinnacle of Republican political statesmanship.
But he is still a loser
Hey! Be careful what you say about Ryan! He’s polite… he’s got good manners… he’s presentable! This is what we need in American politics: GENTLEMEN!!!
He looks like a grown-up Eddie Munster
Gentlemen that are smooth talkers and do literally nothing for the country. And no mean tweets!
Who would you want on your side in a street fight? Paul Ryan or Donald J Trump?
Who’s paying Ryan for his invaluable service? And how many of the dollars are scammed from taxpayers and supporters of “WinRed” clients?
I tried to avoid a nickle gong to win-red but it wasn’t easy. And once they get your name the constant begging to my phone started. It’s disgusting. It wouldn’t be so bad if they were actually on our side…but they’re obviously just using us as useful idiots once we send them any $. I’d send Herschel some help if it ONLY went to him.
But another matter….what if 75 million or so people quit buying from these corporations – it outta make a dent.
While Ryan may have perfected it, I believe it was George HW Bush who (with malicious intent) initiated the “gracious LOSER” role.
His tombstone should read – “Here lies GHW -A GRACIOUS LOSER!”
Traitors- All of them!
Not that long ago they used the term wonky. I guess wonky now means traitor. Paul Ryan just a scamming wonky liar.
Remember, he backs DeSantis
Remember also that there has been not a peep from DeSantis on the political persecution via the Department of (In)Justice putting a target on President Trump’s and certain Republican Congress members’ backs.
As quiet as he was when Mar-a-Lago was raided, only more so.
Quiet as the grave.
And that fact alone tells us far more about him than anything else, IMHO!
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” Martin Luther King, Jr.
He, by his silence, has made his choice. And though silent, has shouted to all of us where and with whom he stands.
Hi vikingmom. Are you the same person who posts under the same name but with capital letters VikingMom? I’m just wondering if it is the device that you are on alters the CAPS or if there are 2 people with very similar names. Sometimes I see “tlhoward” and sometimes I see “TLhoward” also.
Kevin McCarthy is Paul’s Lackey.
Oh…., and then there’s Mike Pence
who just gave what many would consider (ahem)
an honest interview.
-creep
That piece of garbage should keep his mouth shut.
.
Yes!
He QUIT his job as, duh, SPEAKER of the House.
So just STFU, small pall.
Mewling beta simp.
And worse!
Bet he and McCarthy and Luntz have some fun playing hide the salami.
Back when Paul Ryan first ran for election he had this campaign shtick he used that basically consisted of “Hey girl, it’s Paul Ryan…” and then some meme of him doing a thing girls might find to be “hot” (https://heygirlitspaulryan.tumblr.com). The meme shtick stuck and it stayed with him his entire congressional career—right up to the point he finished adding a trillion dollars to the national debt and then just up and quit.
Ryan lost me when he lost a debate to Biden (!!) Needs to learn from soccer and NBA on how to flop with more style.
Trump supporters chant ‘Paul Ryan sucks’
Has Ron DeSantis endorsed President Trump yet?
He should! The RINOS will drag him down.
More that Mini Mittens speaks, the more votes move to Trump’s side. No one listens to this putz.
Doesn’t Ryan have mansion fence to hide behind in WI?
Lyin Ryan speaking on DeSantis and Disney, is ludicrous. That pipsqueek would take money from the deranged mouse faster than you can say Dallas. What would be funny is if DeSantis turned on the gope and endorsed president Trump. Talk about TDS! That would he a major monkey wrench.
Disney is doing whatever it wants. DeSantis only made noises in “their general direction”..
Disney was not a donor to DeSantis, so the fact he went after them is not an indicator that he would not support all the hedge funds, Wall Street, and billionaires’ club elites.
Let’s have Paulie Numnuts Ryano debate Biden again. lol
ROFLOL!!!
He’d still lose.
I could not agree more about that scumbag. When he would not come up with money to build the wall, that was it for me.
Wow. Paul Ryan now looks like a greasy old fashioned car salesman now. Not to be rude but… snakeoil…
And are the same people styling him and Desantis hair or what ?
Agreed. I was thinking undertaker, but snakeoil is accurate
Ya gotta remember, some where north of the Cheddar Curtain, Paul Ryan lives in a nice little compound, with a huge wall.
Just a reminder from those of us living in Wisconsin. Paul Ryan is known as “The Wisconsin Shit Weasel” with no offense to weasels.
Gotta say, if I was a weasel, I’d be HIGHLY offended!
Very similar to John Thune here in South Dakota.
Looks like a moderator is in here defending Paul Ryan by not posting my comment. Gee, no wonder conservatives lose important elections with “friends” like that.
Did u use bad language
”Paul” and “Ryan” are both four letter words that should feel quite comfortable being paired with other four letter words.
Depends what you said. They are not Ryan fans, like wtf????? Did you even read what he said???
The CTH staff does a great job.
( If you werent new around here, you would know that they have been having problems with posts being held in moderation, for no apparent reason. FYI, whining like a child doesnt get you any friends here pal…)
Not a live moderator….but our blocking algorithm. If you expect to post at the Treehouse while swearing like a sailor on leave….you’re on the wrong site.
Thank-you. And I’m a retired sailor so I know how to do it, but…I don’t do it.
🍜 💩
The worst possible thing that can happen to Ron DeSantis is for Paul Ryan to be his standard bearer. Politically, it’s over for DeSantis.
Kind of like the kiss of death right?
Il bacio della morte. Ron should know that phrase.
So of course Ryan has a book coming out. surprise, surprise (not).
I know this is shallow, but all i could see of Ryan on the interview looked like the twin brother of John Kerry, except with a smaller head.
Political class is really scraping the bottom of the barrell if they are trying to reincarnate Paul Ryan. Spit!
What a shame that DeSantis seems to have been taken in by the Washington RINO elite. He has been a great Governor and I expect he will continue to do his job. Unfortunately he seems to have fallen prey to his ambition. President Trump is right to Warn DeSantis that he could get hurt badly if he enters Presidential primaries,
His rino funding has been written here all year
Too late for DeSantis outside of FL. We got his number.
we lost those states besides ballot harvesting because establishment Rs would not fund the candidates. We have to play the game the way the Ds do. Since we can’t change voting laws in Pa, we’ll have start harvesting ballots too.
That’s exactly it. Adapt, or die.
EPIC takedown by President Trump! Thanks for posting, Sundance. 👍🏻🇺🇸💪🏻
Eff Paul Ryan.
Ryan has never done anything in defense of freedom and the rule of law. I can’t believe that hard working and patriotic Americans would listen to him. He is the voice of the enemy; you know, the RINOs who get rich while working with the Democrats.
This bubble-dwelling putz actually thinks people care what he opines. Outside of DC and Wall Street, Paulie, no one gives a flying flip what your opinion is. Deal with it!
The sad thing is that he and ABC are just working on a little narrative engineering. It’s not for you or me, it’s the psy-op and subsequent cover story being nursed along.
I agree with you about his character… I despise that little rat with the heat of a thousand blazing suns.
Wow! Who the “F” does this LOSER think he is? Ryan can burn in hell!
The sewage is backing up. Someone please call Rino Rooter.
One word for Ryan….slimey
It is better to be thought of as a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
Anyone who lies about their marathon time would lie about anything. When Paul Ryan claimed to have completed 26 miles in less than 3 hours I knew he had zero credibility: https://www.bostonglobe.com/opinion/editorials/2012/09/05/paul-ryan-marathon-time-hitting-wall/cHYUdzaGVZbo5cUS0A4UhK/story.html
Can’t stand the little bastard.
we all know how bad Paul Ryan is – but, who are the current so-called conservative or faux MAGA leaders
that are decepticons who are not outed yet?
Uh. Desantis?
Have you read Sundance’s articles?
I think it might be time for a 3rd Party.
We already have to clean house in the Republican party to get it to represent us at all.
Of equal importance, there are clear signs Blacks + Hispanics + others that have been core Democrat Voters for decades are very unhappy with how extreme the Democrat party has become.
Also, as The Great Reset moves forward, more + more + more of the masses will look for help as things get worse + worse for them.
I think there is a real, significant chance that a 3rd Party would become the most popular one within a few years….
Setting up a third party with party organizations at every precinct, local, and state level, running candidates for that party, selecting people to chair that party in every locale, is astronomically expensive and fraught with problems. You would be spending money on things that won’t elect anyone, that won’t get out the vote, that won’t solicit candidates.
That is why it is super important that MAGA take over the Republican Party.
I can’t picture the real difference…
Yes, the GOP already has established networks + so on at all levels — and they are led to fool their Voters + work against their interests in favor of Corporate + Mega $$$ interests.
How would cleaning out the GOP be fundamentally different from establishing a 3rd party?
Won’t attempting to take over the GOP require most of things you are talking about?
How many of those GOP networks in local areas all over the country would say, “Yeah, sign us up” if a legitimate 3rd party announced itself + started building….?
Trump got more votes than any candidate in history. All those voters now know the heart of the GOP was part of the 2 Election Thefts we just witnessed.
If Trump announced a 3rd party + especially if people like Elon Musk + Ye signed on — not only would large chunks of the current GOP flock to it, the Big $$$ would follow, because that is where Power would be shifting. Not to mention how much Small $$$ would get involved.
At any point in history before now, I’d have agreed with you 100%.
If Trump + Musk + Ye announced a 3rd Party that was Anti-Great Reset + Anti-Corruption + Pro-Free Speech + Anti-Globalist — it would could immediately be a major factor + with the resources they have alone, it could defend itself while taking over the GOP + Democrat Networks that no longer represent their voters interests.
Isn’t Ye a bit tarnished now? He seems erratic.
Besides that…I’m not sure why the big money would follow this – they’re pretty much all in to The Great Reset.
I like the idea of ditching the GOP but in practice these things don’t have a great track record.
Just FYI – I like your comments – they interest me.
I’m not sold on Musk or Ye – but right now, the 3 of them are standing up for Free Speech + Anti-Great Reset + have oceans full of $$$$.
Some of the $$$ supporting the GOP would shift openly to the Democrats instead of paying for Fake Opposition if they saw the GOP had been supplanted as real opposition by a 3rd party. Others would flow to the 3rd party to remain influencial.
But I think it is a given there is significant $$$$ — is not fully aboard with the Great Reset but have gone along because it is the only real game in town.
Either way — if they see the Trump Movement taking over the GOP, they’ll shift their $$$ elsewhere….
By attempting to setup a 3rd party —- Trump + other Big $$$$ like Musk + Lindell + whoever was favorable to Trump all along —— will have a giant waving flag making it clear where they stand.
Others will rally to that flag. Those who don’t were part of the problem to begin with.
Another thought…seems like at least 75 million ought to follow Trump wherever he goes..all our reasons for voting for him are being proven every day….so that would leave the rats and rinos sharing the other votes. But I don’t know about the money….maybe you’re right and they’d be pragmatic and go with the trend.
Right. And unlike anytime in my life until now (1970), GOP Voters know – the party does not represent them anymore…. They helped fix 2 Elections in a row….
Setting up a 3rd party – especially if it included well-known Blacks + Hispanics, probably more core voters in those 2 categories would come over to it than they would feel comfortable signing up with the GOP….
A large % of voters in both traditional parties know today that the people they are electing —- are not ruling in their favor.
Chunks of both parties now realize they are being conned…
I agree…many are fed-up.
Iggyb you are losing your common sense. Two days ago it was doom and gloom and now it is abandon the ship. Get a grip! If your idea is a 3rd party you in fact will only have to beat one established existing Uniparty. The 3 party splitter movement has hurt us many times at the State and local level. The logistics of even getting on State ballots will not be a cake walk with many states being entrenched Uniparty controlled entities. We do not have the Time or money to get a 3rd party in any position to control government over the existing ballot oriented Uniparty. 3rd party is really a bad idea for any chance of a fix before we hit economic collapse points. Hopefully we will not have to have the economic collapse to correct this floundering ship we are in.
“on State ballots will not be a cake walk with many states being entrenched Uniparty controlled entities”
I think my position is the same as always. The 2 parties are corrupt down to the marrow of their bones.
We were “doomed” before because of the % of us that can’t or refuse to see it.
Now, that isn’t the case. After being betrayed wholesale 2 Big Elections in a row, a majority now view the problem far more clearly.
What are you saying anyway — if you think about it…?
We have to stick with the Uniparty because it’s too entrenched… So, we keep voting the same way for the same Fake Opposition + hope one day enough True Opposition slips in to make a difference…?
What are we going to accomplish Immediately to prevent a crash…?
How is continuing to back a GOP that has HORRIBLY BETRAYED US — TWICE — going to save us….?
Is there a real difference between —- fighting hard to take over the GOP so it represents the will of the MAGA Voters vs fighting hard to establish a 3rd party….?
We can continue to “win elections” with a bunch of Fake Opposition candidates + keep riding into the same black hole we have been or we can sign up with Real Opposition….
My position hasn’t changed — The Uniparty has been a reality for a long time with most people fooled by Kabuki Theatre. Both parties controlled by Mega $$$ social engineers.
Now, a majority of voters seem to understand that.
If you are hoping for a quick fix —- then you’re dead already….
If anybody can make an argument that the GOP can be made to represent the wishes of its voters instead of offering Fake Opposition as they have been, I would be glad to consider it….
At the state level — what are the GOP State Parties that reacted to the 2020 POTUS Theft by fighting hard to fix how voting was done + the votes were counted….?
I live in GA. It is a key Red State. Did it fix the mammoth problems that were exposed in 2020…?
“The 3 party splitter movement has hurt us many times at the State and local level. ”
When was it ever tried at a time the majority of GOP Voters understood that the party was led by an entrenched faction working hand-n-glove with the DNC for Mega $$$ that owned them both….?
You are also assuming a 3rd party would not pull in sizable support from the Democrats.
and assuming the 3rd party would not become the most popular party.
IMHO – you are looking thru pre-2020 eyes that do not match the reality at hand….
Bipolar disorder will do that to you.
There is another alternative to Paul Ryan. He’s the one I am betting on. https://youtube.com/shorts/IyXBs4g27EI?feature=share
His and the rhinos thought process is antiquated. 🙄
I was at the Romney-Ryan campaign event at the Manassas, Virginia railway station in 2012 that I believe was the first duo appearance right after Ryan was chosen as VP (my chronology may be wrong, but the rest assuredly is not!)
It was a beautiful day and the entire area was packed! being alone I wormed my way up front. Great Excitement as Paul Ryan was introduced and he began to speak. Then, as he droned on, people started falling asleep standing up – I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP! I’ll never forget the general feeling, hanging on to high hopes as we moped away … “What did we just see?!”
I totally understand .
I remember feeling sick to my stomach when Romney announced Ryan as his running mate and and the first interview he gave extolled the virtues of Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid as examples of really necessary and well run Government programs that needed to be expanded! I knew then that we had been sold a pig in a poke and that if he and Mittens did manage to win the first thing they would do would be to push for Nationalized Health Care along the same lines as the disaster Mitt had foisted on the people of Massachusetts only a few years earlier!
… and they say Trump is dangerous? They’re oligarchs and they say Trump is dangerous for democracy?! They set up Stalinist style show trials and they say Trump is dangerous for democracy?!
Never thought I’d see this in the US… never… never, never, never!!! (I was born in the 40s!)
… and… here we are .. and it’s getting worse by the day. And what do the Repubs have to offer?! Happy face Ryan!
I’m old enough to remember when this steaming 💩 sat with another 💩 , Sean Hannity, and lied to the nation in saying they would pass Trumps agenda within the first 100 days…and then backtracked and said it might take 200 days. 100 days came and went…200 days came and went…and nothing but roadblocks were accomplished. And that 2nd 💩 Hannity never called him on his lies. I loathe Lyin’ Paul Ryan more than just about any other GOPe parasite.
I wish I was as confident as this POS Ryan that we will even have a Country in the next two years worth worrying about. His resignation was the catalyst for all that we are experiencing now.
Wow. They really are banking on those Dominion machines aren’t they?
Ryan was a king decepticon in his day. Not pretending much now.
While I appreciate Sundance’s optimism, I must nevertheless take issue as the consequences of a Democrat winning the presidency in 2024 will be nothing short of catastrophic for this country–especially the middle class.
Kinda hard to see the fun in that scenario when contrasted against the electoral college map (link below) that, courtesy of Democrat Covid vote fraud legislation in battle-ground states, along with RINO acquiescence, shows there is no path for a Republican to win, Trump, DeSantis or whowever the GOP establishment offers up.
https://www.270towin.com/maps/KV1oR
Don’t give up yet.
It’s just beginning.
This must play out.
We know they already have 270 in the bag and how it plays out
The Dims have just lost a major chunk of funding via Ukraine and FTX. What will be very interesting is seeing what they do to replace it. Ballot harvesting takes a small but paid army.
We have to beat them at their own game but the problem is they make the rules and they have most of the judges. This is fascism exerting it’s power and it’s been in the works a LONG time.
This is well worth the read because it refers to the fascists own words about how they’re using global warming to ultimately get rid of the middle class. https://canadahealthalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/The-Dark-Origins-of-the-Davos-Great-Reset.pdf
Well, FL is no longer a swing state. There’s that.
2024 Election Fantasy –
81 million ballots show up in drop boxes for President Trump. Will there be any “election deniers” ?
STFU loser! What a loser you were and are today Latte Ryan Boy!!! Go suck on Mittens mittens! 🐈
Ryan married into a prominent pro-abortion Democrat family. His wife was a leftwing lobbyist. He’s scum. And likely a Democrat posing as a GOPe hack.
“This Big Club operation in public is exactly what we need to see happen in order to wage a war against uniformed enemies within the republican party”
I visualize them wearing uniforms just like Benito Mussolini wore as they are also corporatists, aka fascists.
Trump He will win and he will win big because Americans are fed up with both parties now.
62 million voted for him in 2016.
75 million voted for him in 2020.
90 million will vote for him in 2024. And this time, Trump supporters will vote early and harvest ballots like a John Deere.
Post-election, Republicans in DC have shown they no longer are worthy of my support.
Ryano has been crying to any media outlet that will listen about Trump not being the nominee.
I cannot express how much I despise weasels like him who believe they alone can declare who can represent Americans politically.
Fox News seems to have a complete news blackout on Trump 2024 campaign announcement. Nothing mentioned last night on Bongino nor this morning on Maria Bartiromo. Word must have come down from Paul Ryan and the Murdochs. Pathetic!
