I predict Ryan will use this to get himself nominated in Cleveland

[RandySF]

If Ryan rcan walk away from this looking good (even if in his own mind), he will use it get himself named as Trump's replacement. If it goes south, it could be the end of his speakership.

1. Ya think?

Ryan like the rest of the GOPs are some selfish a-holes and hide behind their gawd.

T-rump's speech was the shits. Ryan do not like him at all. Cruz is trying to set himself up for the choice.

Guns and gawd are the GOP's passion. They need to allow guns at their convention. GOPers want guns everywhere else (except at the NA headquarters). Wonder why?

2. There's no way Ryan looks good

Not when such a huge majority on every side want guns to be controlled.
This insanity only makes Ryan and the republicans look terrible.

3. Ryan is too smart to step into that..

IMHO...

Any swap in Republican candidates is an automatic death sentence and he knows it. He doesn't want to be known as a two time loser.

He recovered nicely from the Romney run but he is going to play the long game and chalk this POTUS election as a loss and focus on the state and local.

8. Didn't he fall flat on his face during the debates? That's what I remember him as most of us did.

[TipTok]

9. Don't remember...

The only solid memory of those debates, for me, was the "Please proceed" bit...

In the last year or so, I feel like he has really upped his political IQ and started playing smarter and for the long term.

12. What do you think now!??!!

[TipTok]

13. About what?

[Pauldg47]

14. I'm vague....sorry....

....I meant what do think about the shenanigans he's been up to the last few days as house leader.

16. I'm not as tied in as I usually am...

... as I just got back to Afghanistan (again).

I just get the high points right now. Never Trump is making another go at it and the sit in at the house...

That about exhausts my knowledge on the topic.

[Glamrock]

11. Hell yes he did.

Uncle Joe gave him a verbal ass whooping...
Twas a thing of beauty.

17. Ryan actually did okay in the debate against Biden. He lost, but held his own.

Here's some highlights

Here's the full monty

18. Bucky; at times he appeared to be a deer in the headlights. To me , what he said was nonsense....

....and mostly untruths.

[Bucky]

19. Yes, but he seemed so earnest about his nonsense

Here's the 'best zingers' real

[Pauldg47]

20. I agree, but he like many repuks are fuckwad liars (bullshit artists).

[MFM008]

4. Cruz

[Agnosticsherbet]

5. There is no way anyone who ousts Trump walks away looking good.

A lot of Trump's angry voters will not vote for an establishment Republican.

[AgadorSparticus]

7. Yep. I don't see them voting for anyone but trump. They are screwed!

[The Second Stone]

6. Ryan and Cruz will nullify each other in their attempts

and Trump will remain. But I do think they will both try.

10. This is a no win scenario for Ryan.

He should've acquiesced hours ago. The only solution is to give in to the vote. It's not difficult.
