Paul Ryan enters GOP’s civil war by criticizing Trump’s hold on party

[Rotadom]

Ryan, a critic of the former President in the past, said at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, that Republicans must move away from the “populist appeal of one personality” because “then we’re not going anywhere.”

“Once again, we conservatives find ourselves at a crossroads. And here’s the reality that we have to face: If the conservative cause depends on the populist appeal of one personality, or of second-rate imitations, then we’re not going anywhere. Voters looking for Republican leaders want to see independence and mettle,” Ryan said.

Although Ryan didn’t mention Trump by name in his criticism, the remarks by the Republican Party’s 2012 vice presidential nominee add him to a growing list of establishment Republicans who are publicly objecting to Trump’s grip on the party.

Paul Ryan is the love child of Ronald Reagan and Eddie Munster.

He was the result of trickle down inbreeding.

There really isn't a "GOP civil war." If you're still in the party, you've capitulated to it being a personality cult. The ones who haven't are no longer in the party.
