Lyin' Ryan: Who Cares About Dissenting Republican Senators?

Earlier this week, Republican US Senators Bob Corker and Jeff Flake delivering powerful blows to Trump while announcing their retirements.

Lyin' Paul Ryan responded by delivering another major blow (job) to Trump by dismissing the dissension amongst the ranks:
Remember the extraordinary public clash this week between two Republican senators and President Donald Trump? House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday that people aren’t interested.

Ryan waded into — and quickly out of — that dispute on Thursday, when a reporter asked whether he shares Sen. Jeff Flake’s criticisms of Trump.

“I don’t think the American people care about that,” the Wisconsin Republican responded.

[...]

Ryan said people want lawmakers to “solve their problems. I don’t think the American people want to see us up here yelling at each other.”
What Ryan means is that he is facing the toughest election in his career against the juggernaut Randy "IronStache" Bryce and he doesn't have a thing to hang his Republican hat on, failing to keep one promise, such as repealing Obamacare, much less showing any kind of leadership as Speaker of the House. He desperately needs to keep an unhealthy obsession with passing his huge tax breaks for the rich and staying in Trump's good graces to stay in office.

Lord knows that Ryan is terrified of having to do any real work and wants to keep his cushy, lucrative position. Even if it means having permanently orange-stained hands and lips.

  1. What the hell does a guy who never meets with the public know what the "American people" are talking about?

    And how is cutting health care and Social Security while giving away billions to the rich "solving our problems" of huge inequality and low wages?

    There is NOTHING THERE, with Purty Mouth Pay-lie, is there?

  2. I think we do ourselves a huge disservice if we say he did not repeal and replace Obamacare.

    The house voted to repeal it and replace it with a horrendous bill that would have knocked 30 million people off of healthcare. Even though it was way too crazy for even the Senate to pass, ryan did vote for it, get it passed ...... and should have to run the next election with that around his neck!

    1. Yep, just like how he and every other GOP CongressMAN from Wisconsin voted for that garbage budget resolution this week.

      Repay, do not forget.
