Former Speaker of the House, John Boehner, was unable to control extremists. He resigned. Republicans believed that Paul Ryan would be their savior. He would be a strong leader and unite House Republicans. Now they know that he is a farce, and that he is nothing more than a ‘yes man’ for his illegitimate president.
I include myself in admitting that I was fooled by Ryan. However, under Trump’s illegitimate and destructive “leadership,” Ryan has revealed his true self. He is a charlatan who supports special interests and his party. He does not represent the American people.
From his failure to construct a true healthcare bill which would have served all Americans, to his disastrous approval of releasing Devin Nunes hilarious ‘memo,’ Ryan has proven himself to be incapable of governing, and lacks any of the qualities required of a leader.
The result forecasts the end of Ryan’s position as the Speaker. 34 Republican Representatives have already announced that will not seek reelection in November. If Democrats regain control of the House, Trump will become nothing more than an angry old man as all of his power will be removed.
The reason Republicans have failed and are unable to lead our nation can be easily defined. Ryan and Mitch McConnell are abject failures. Americas can remove them both by setting records in November at the polls. We need leaders, and the GOP has proven that they have none.
Save your country; vote.
