Paul never really wanted the job in the first place, he was very reluctant to take over boehners position. I am not surprised at all that rats are fleeing the sinking ship that is career politics.

Bull, he was groomed for the job by boner.

How's that?

We all watched it happen. Ryan was groomed for the position to be boner's predecessor to represent the deep state.

You're just repeating yourself. How did Boehner groom Ryan?

Yep, exactly. The republicans were forcing Boehner out, and there was about to be an outright civil war within the party about who to replace him. Paul Ryan was the only one they could semi agree on, so they begged him to come on. And Paul Ryan saw that $500,000 check from the Koch's coming his way, so he finally agreed. Now, that he got the money, he cashed out, and has no more reason to stay.

We'll see him in about a decade or so running for president.

Also it's one of those jobs where everybody hates you.

The entire lynchpin of your argument is that Trump is a good guy and our savior.

I for one don't buy it. What has he done not said that makes you believe him?

I've been asking this question for the last 18 months or so, would love an explanation. Not to bitch at, but so I can , possibly, change my view and/or understand better.

I would take Policy Changes, New Hires, and other concrete examples.

I will not take Tweets, Stump Speeches, and Q Slam Poetry.

Q Slam Poetry.

Lol I'm dyin, well done

And, again,total silence from the questioned...

What has he done, not said? He's been the POTUS for over 15 months now - you must be able to point back to some policy change, some new hire in the executive branch, something he's actually done.

Trump is a source of corruption

Name one corruption. While understanding what the word corruption actually means.. Appointing people you don't like, or enforcing existing laws that you do not like is not corruption.

Just to start: * Employing his daughter and son-in-law, who hasn't disconnected from his family's business and is actively lobbying for business loans for same family business while on in the White House * Appointing Cabinet Members with questionable ethics, and keeping them on staff, like the EPA and HUD Secretaries

So mainly appointing people you don't like.

That's what you want to focus on. It's not people I don't like - it's people that have ethical problems in very important roles.

I'm not going to continue a dialog with you if you continue to twist my words. There's no point in discussing.

A big portion of the role of the POTUS is Chief Executive, which is to select his staff and cabinet. The people that Trump picked are unqualified, or have moral, ethical or financial conflicts that preclude them from working in the best interest of the country.

It's not a personal preference.

But feel free to defend Kushner and Priutt. Tell me how they are not morally or ethically corrupt in their roles.

Are you serious?

It's called delusion.

One corruption: nepotism, i.e. appointing unqualified family members to key jobs. Big ethics no-no.

Two corruption: Constant self-dealing, using his role as chief executive to make the government hire and pay his own personal properties and services.

Three corruption: Selling anonymous access to the White House by frequenting his personal clubs, for which he upped membership fees after taking office, and refusing to release visitor logs -- while passing policies that greatly enrich these members personally.

Four corruption: Having attorneys for the Trump Organization try to threaten the president of Panama to intercede in a legal dispute involving a Trump property, implying the president would be held accountable by the Trump Administration if he failed to do so.

Five corruption: Having his son-in-law go around offering to sell visas in exchange for investment in his personal enterprises.

Six corruption: Having his son-in-law going around soliciting foreign leaders for money to save his failing building investment in exchange for favorable American foreign policy.

Seven corruption: Tipping his friends off about domestic policy changes so they can trade on the news and make money, when he doesn't try to just appoint his friends to government posts so they can make the changes themselves.

There's plenty more, I haven't even mentioned the scores of grifts and grafts his appointees are running, plus who knows what we haven't even uncovered yet.

I smell a new post :)

He's literally the most corrupt president we've had since Harding.

Where are the tax returns?

So he’s talked about corruption and is being investigated for corruption...that’s what you point to?

He stopped the dismantling of the boarders and the entangling of our country in the TPP and other treaties. He rolled back and stopped the one world government agenda that the conspiracy community has been fighting for decades.

You are aware cross-border immigration has been trending down and was at its lowest point in 40 years. People are immigrating way more through airports than the border. And can you point to the policies he's made to stop the dismantling? There's none - he's fearmongering his base. And what's the connection to corruption in the border security debate anyways?

But I'll give you the TPP. Other treaties are still all talk.

Even though immigration has trended down since Trump took office the political talk of opening the boards has been at an all time high. This talk is also coming from the UN and Israel towards the US. The plan has always been to dismantle boarders, then dismantle nation states, then world government.

Fear mongering. The highest traffic border is at incoming airports like JFK, ATL and MIA.

Thanks for the google search prompt, but I don't know what you want me to see in the 1.89 million results your query provided.

Also, just a heads up: its BORDER, not BOARDER.

Unless you think that immigrants are seeking boarding from the US government as well.

Do you mind using your words to explain what you are trying to say here? What about Obama?

Why are you bringing up Obama in a thread where we are discussed how Trump is a 'good guy' compared to Republican establishment?

You asserted that immigration is trending down, is not a problem, and is just fear mongering. I showed there was a problem under Obama.

I said that Trump is fearmongering his base that the Mexican border is a free-for-all, which your biased articles from the Daily Caller and National Review help to confirm.

The immigration problem is significantly more serious from airports than it is from the Mexican border, yet Trump's wall fantasies have nothing to do with the real problems.

I've seen you around. I know why you are here. I knew I shouldn't have wasted my time with you.

Got it, must be time to pack up your toys and run home. It's lunch time soon, right?

Says the establishment/deep state defender.

lol - who me? Me criticizing your dear leader doesn't make me a deep state defender.

Pathetic accusations

You are here defending all MSN narratives.

Hmm I am most certainly not. Just because I don’t agree with you and your Dear Leader - don’t make this a personal character attack.

Stay on topic: you refuse to acknowledge what ways Trumps White House and canine team appointments are not corrupt and the one thing you can point to is his rhetoric on the Scary Mexican border.

I see that you prefer the q narrative

Aw - and Trump is now going back on his TPP promise.

Ryan's leaving because Trump personally disgusts him, but Paul kept quiet and tolerated the man long enough to give a trillion-dollar tax cut to his ultra-wealthy patrons. With that done, he's bailing on DC insanity to take some cushy job at a lobbyist or think tank that his backers are keeping warm for him.

i can't imagine this being made to prevent donald trump of making good, it is impossible!
he is just as bad as all the other liar that you people put there.

I’m trying to understand your argument here. You’re saying that Ryan is getting pushed out so Trump won’t succeed.

What does Ryan being around have to do with Trumps success or lack thereof? You consider Ryan a champion of Trump, and by him retiring the Republican are going to pick a leader that opposes Trump?

You got conned by Trump, condolences.

Or you got fooled by a lifelong scumbag con man and his rich buddies. Which is more likely?

I'm not following. I feel like Ryan being out is a good thing for Trump.

Except that's a seat that probably going to D now.

That seems pretty unlikely, I like your optimism though.

The R contender is super far to the right. No one likes the ruling party. That seat is going to Randy Bryce.

I think that it will be Paul Nehlsen, or possibly someone else, over Randy Bryce. I doubt a Dem wins there regardless.

This is a good thing for the Trump agenda and nationalists in general. Ryan has been a thorn in Trump's side since day 0.

It's called delusion.

lol - who me? Me criticizing your dear leader doesn't make me a deep state defender.
