Paul Ryan Is A Fucking Twat, But You Already Knew That.

Damn, this is actually kind of hard to believe on some levels but after watching these Republicans turn into Closet Socialist supporters over the years I don't know why.

Speaker Ryan won't defend Trump, shifting focus to saving GOP majority

WASHINGTON — The nation's most powerful Republican told his party Monday he now is focusing on ensuring Hillary Clinton doesn't get a blank check as president with a Democratic-controlled Congress, suggesting he doesn't believe Donald Trump can win the election.

House Speaker Paul Ryan's office quickly said he was not conceding the election's outcome. But pro-Trump GOP House members got that impression, pushing back and saying Trump can still prevail and should not be abandoned. One outspoken conservative called Ryan and other Republican leaders "cowards."

A person who was on Ryan's conference call with GOP lawmakers said the speaker declared that he will "spend his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check with a Democrat-controlled Congress." The person wasn't authorized to be quoted by name and demanded anonymity.

Ryan said he wouldn't defend Trump or appear with the Republican presidential candidate for the rest of the campaign, according to lawmakers and Republican congressional staff, who also spoke on condition of anonymity.

The remarkable development came as Trump battled to rescue his campaign after the release last week of a 2005 video in which he is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to "do anything" to women. Several leading Republicans have withdrawn their support or even called for him to drop out of the race.

Several people on the call said Ryan explicitly told House members, "You all need to do what's best for you in your district."

Ryan said he was "willing to endure political pressure to help protect our majority," a person on the call said.

So that they can keep right on doing what they have been doing to this country for the last twenty years.
