Paul WHO? Forgotten former House Speaker warns Trump won't win 2020 on his "personality"

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan focuses on policy, gridlock in Vero Beach lecture



Ryan also blamed political division for gridlock in Congress, saying technology has created an outrage machine. He said people are “monetizing” emotions, causing “entertainment wings” of each party that focus on emotional responses rather than focusing on the merits of their parties.

Ryan said people should still be optimistic about the future of the country because of a strong economy, and touted the Republican-led tax reform plan passed in December 2017.

Ryan also said he believes there are some Democrats who could beat President Donald Trump next year. He said Trump needs to define through policies, and not his personal brand.

“The person who defines that race is going to win the race. If this is about Donald Trump and his personality, he isn’t going to win it,” Ryan said.
