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.
Okay…so let me play devils advocate here
Why do the polls show trump in the lead? Are they purposely flawed to get people out to vote?
As far as I know, one poll showed Trump ahead and it was a phone poll, so how accurate could it possibly have been? Who answers unknown numbers on their phone in this country aside from Boomers and fools?
