Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said Tuesday that Republicans will lose the presidential election if Donald Trump is the nominee and that he expects hard-right followers of Trump to force a government shutdown within days.
Ryan, who left office in 2019 and had a sometimes contentious relationship with Trump, said he hoped that another Republican nominee would gain enough momentum early next year to overtake Trump after the first primaries. Ryan represented southeastern Wisconsin in Congress for 20 years, the last four as speaker.
“The party that puts the first fresh face forward wins this election,” Ryan said at an event on the University of Wisconsin campus organized by the Robert M. La Follette School of Public Affairs.
It’s crazy to think that Ryan wouldn’t know the extremely vocal opinions of his alleged favorite band RATM. Like…it’s in the name, and the lyrics, and from all of Morello’s public statements.
…does Paul Ryan not know that he is “the machine”? Or is he just a willfully ignorant asshole?
I think he enjoys it because he is the machine. The wailing of those who oppose him is the most sweet lullaby.
Ugh, you might be right
Ryan clearly thought they were raging against like dishwashers and washing machines
When it comes to this dipshit, why not both?
I mean, I like bands that I don’t agree with politically or philosophically. The biggest one that’s to mind is A7X which is annoyingly hyper conservative victimism. It does mean I get tired of eye rolling and change artists after a while, but I can still enjoy the music for a while until the lyrics get overwhelming.
