No, Ryan did a truly crappy job as speaker and that is what he is truly remembered for.
All I really remember him for at this point is his failed VP bid with Romney, another guy the Beliebers now despise.

Before Paul Ryan, there was another GOP Speaker of the House, John Boehner, who is also rather critical of Trump. @Jolly probably thinks that Boehner sucked, too.
That crying sucker?
Yes, he sucketh deeply. Still does.

Regardless of anything else you have said or done
You like President Trump = Good Republic
You dont like President Trump = Bad Republic -

That's not a fair question. Lefties think black people can't vote due to GOP suppression, but lefties don't know any black people, so can't name them.

Article on GOP candidates struggle to escape Trump’s influence. Examples include George P. Bush (son of Jeb) who jettisoned the Bush brand to pursue Trump’s endorsement as he runs for the office of Attorney General in Texas; this despite Trump belittled his father and attacked his uncle.
Pence, despite his deep connection to the traditional pre-Trump GOP, also won’t be able to draw on that legacy for any of his future ambitions after four years with Trump.
Another case study of sort is Glenn Youngkin who is running for Virginia’s gubernatorial office. Youngkin ran a hardline conservative message and secured Trump’s endorsement, and now find that he cannot pivot to the center because his opponent will to let voter forget that Trump endorsed Youngkin.

We live in a divided country where a progressive agenda has low odds to be successful. Cleaving the GOP would be the best strategy to run the table…doesn’t look like it will happen.

Nah, it won't be until 2024...

Yes, he does.
I'm sure Cheney is at the top of the list.

He appears to have hidden his agenda down the front of his suit pants.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Those were very fine pants, front and back.

Trump tries to unseat Gov. Brian Kemp of Georgia. No taker.

At this early juncture pundits believe 2022 outcome is 50-50 odds for GOP majority and the GOP taking the House.
I posted this yesterday. Am repeating it since I don't get no respect. "Here's an excerpt from a NYT opinion piece by Ross Douthat, yesterday: "But that note didn’t adequately convey just how despairing a lot of progressives have become, treating the hypothetical where Trump (or, for that matter, some other Republican nominee) actually succeeds in overturning an election defeat not just as a possibility but as a likely outcome in 2024, the destination to which we’re probably headed absent some unexpected change.
“This is where it’s going,” the press critic Jay Rosen of New York University tweeted recently, about a scenario in which state legislatures, the House and the Senate would simply hand the presidency to the G.O.P. nominee, “and there is presently nothing on the horizon that would stop it.”
Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka
