[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a very liberal Dem.  I would have no problem with Paul Ryan as a speaker.  I wouldn’t vote for him. But he is certainly not McConnell, Gym Jordan, Matt Gaetz, etc….  He is one of a very few sane conservatives.  I would compare him to Liz Cheney.  I wish the GOP had more people like him. [/quote]

I am also a liberal Democrat (not progressive) who would have no problem with Ryan.  That said, Liz Cheney had the fortitude in public service and fight Trump, at great personal cost.  [b]Ryan saw the writing on the wall and bailed out for a very lucrative career in the private sector.  Not exactly a profile in courage. [/b]I find most of her political positions abhorrent, but Liz Cheney has more stones than the rest of the national GOP put together.[/quote]

No opinion on him being the commencement speaker, but the bolded is what I think of him. Passed the tax bill and bailed. I'm always curious when his name pops up b/c I wouldn't be surprised if he's playing the long game and is hoping to rise out of the ashes of MAGA and lead the GOP someday. [/quote]

Worth mentioning is that part of that lucrative private sector career is being on the board of Fox, i.e. the MAGA propaganda network.  His hands are not clean even if he is not the worst of the worst.[/quote]

Exactly! And dumb as a brick. Coasted on his white male privilege with his barely BA Degree from Miami of OH[/quote]

And you know this…how?[/quote]

Lots of people in Ohio know that. He did not get into his state school- U of Wisconsin.[/quote]

You don't know that either. 😂[/quote]

So is this a thread about Paul Ryan speaking at SAES or a personal thread about Paul Ryan and his life? If it’s the latter, it should be moved to Political Discussion.[/quote]
