Paul Ryan is shockingly unpopular, even for Paul Ryan
By Kaili Joy Gray | July 19, 2017
House Speaker Paul Ryan is a complete failure, and Americans know it.
(AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
Paul Ryan, the uber-conservative Wisconsin Republican who reluctantly accepted the role of House speaker in 2015 after no one else would take it, is failing. Badly.
And Americans are not happy about it.
Only 34 percent have a favorable view of him, compared with 48 percent who do not, according to a new Bloomberg poll.
Thats an incredibly steep drop from the 47 percent who viewed him favorably back in December. But far more humiliating for the speaker is the fact that his approval rating is even lower than Donald Trumps a point Ryans Democratic challenger Randy Bryce is using to add to his campaign coffers.
.
..........................
Ryan certainly knows how unpopular he and his policies are. Thats why hes been hiding from his own constituents, refusing to hold town halls to address the concerns of the people he represents.

Randy should hold meetings, and call them "The Town Halls Paul Ryan doesn't care enough to hold."
