Paul Ryan types are the problem with the GOP

Updated later on this day:

the original post follows...





Ryan has become unpopular amongst the GOP base, or so we hear. Note the doubt about every assertion. Does anybody tell the truth anymore? I believe that there are enough GOP base voters who would never support a GOPe candidate again. I won't. They run against the base, so why do they claim to care about winning? Even when they win, they won't do what they say they'll do. You don't willfully undermine your leading candidate.

Ryan is reported to have said that Trump could win. Trump DID win in 2016, and almost certainly did again in 2020, but Ryan's faction won't allow any HONEST accounting occur with respect to that outcome.

Ryan is shown here saying that the GOP hasn't won anything since 2016. The GOP DID win the House in 2020, and might have won the Senate in a difficult environment in 2020, except for what McConnell did. But Ryan gets it wrong, and then places the blame elsewhere for the real problem, when it is people like HIM who cause these problems.

Another case in point is Ann Coulter. It seems that the documents indictment is falling apart, but she jumped on to the pile to accuse Trump. Stuff like that is what kills the GOP's chances. The base knows it, and won't support anyone they try to substitute for Trump. That includes DeSantis. It is clear that DeSantis is one of them too. Otherwise, he wouldn't run against Trump.

The GOP could have squashed the phony Russian collusion scam, but the GOPe let the Democrats run amok. They're doing it again, and that is what their narrative is about. Ryan and company wants to scare the GOP base into voting for them, but aren't they the ones that the GOP base is always disappointed in? A vote for any of them is a guaranteed loser. Trump may lose alright, but it is rather steeper hill to climb when these guys keep undermining their presumed raison d'être. The GOP should unite around the winner, but didn't in 2016. Trump won anyway. Maybe the base doesn't NEED THEM.

It may be necessary to dump the GOPe, and that might be a loser strategy. For it is clear that they won't mend their ways. There's no way the base will vote for the GOPe, so it doesn't matter who the GOP nominates when there is a faction within it that keeps undermining it. There's nothing to vote for until these guys are gone. Motivation by fear, and non-performance is an illusion of choice. The GOPe offers the base NOTHING. For a Supreme Court seat in the past year, a GOPe type ran against the base and lost. They're not about winning. The MAGA base doesn't need them.

I'm including this video even though I cannot hear it well. I hear it well enough to support the points made here, so that's why I'm embedding it.

So here it is...
