On that basis I hope he takes the Speaker job. Being speaker will end his career IMO.petrillihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17889489779105405703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-15607087377920470342015-10-12T21:12:11.246-04:002015-10-12T21:12:11.246-04:00Curious to see what's happening with Ryan- thi...Curious to see what's happening with Ryan- this insistence he run could be the end of his career. If he's nominated, I'd look for a primary challenge from a Tea Partier. Wisconsin seems to not be as vulnerable as the Bible Belt, but still, if Ryan is promoted, it WILL ruffle feathers. The base hates him, just like they hate every other Establishment figure.<br /><br />Kind of hard not seeing this as the end of Ryan's career. Any credible economist knows he's entirely full of shit; the base hates him. The only thing he's got for him is the Supply Siders crowd. Having tons and tons of money doesn;t get you votes these days- look at how Cantor got crushed.theHatisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15025601907575400484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-83454794578034213222015-10-12T17:28:47.849-04:002015-10-12T17:28:47.849-04:00By the time the public at large is alarmed it will...By the time the public at large is alarmed it will be too late.Never Ben Betterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814767173601107270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-85766999410633831332015-10-12T17:10:12.495-04:002015-10-12T17:10:12.495-04:00I still think the GOP will not only endure but thr...I still think the GOP will not only endure but thrive, even as Republicans get crazier and crazier. Billionaire donors and the MSM will continue to prop the party up indefinitely, and most of the public still isn't alarmed in the least.Steve M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11963290427258439242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-15795572022812633692015-10-12T16:12:34.405-04:002015-10-12T16:12:34.405-04:00You expressed doubt several years ago in my observ...You expressed doubt several years ago in my observation we are witnessing in painful slow motion the demise of the Retard Party.

The GOP is flailing about, desperate for a leader who not only embodies all of their fiercest, darkest passions but has the charisma to sell their hell-vision to the country at large. St. Ronnie could do it in his era with a sunny smile, but this is an angrier time, far more radicalized, and Weimar America needs redder meat.Never Ben Betterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17814767173601107270noreply@blogger.com
