But he has to win his primary for his seat. A tough race. Even had Walker send a beg letter out. I hope he loses his seat.

His state is more likely to go for the Republican.

There is a difference between empty promises and promises that never got a chance to be enacted.

To the original post, yeah, expect Ryan in 2020.

His beliefs and values are a black hole... a vacuum. void. nada.
Giant sucking of suck. Not one good idea.

The crowd basically were silent for Ryan. They hate him because they know, in his heart, he hates Trump.

I disagree with pretty much everything he said, but at least he projected an actual vision for the party instead of just spewing hate. I am glad he is not their nominee, because he would be much stiffer competition.

He is the great pretender he bides his time while gaining more power. Don't let the calm demeanor fool you.
