It is the bottom of the ninth with two outs . . . lets go with a pinch hitter with the worst RBI and least power, the one who had trouble hitting off of Joe Biden.
‘Draft Speaker Ryan’ movement forms to push Paul Ryan to run for GOP 2016 presidential nomination
It is the best idea I’ve heard yet if one’s immediate and ultimate aims are:
a) to put to a merciful end the shell of a once important political party, and,
b) demonstrate an unusually malevolent contempt for the votes of millions of fellow Americans who kept that party alive long after it had abandoned virtually every principle and value on which it was founded, and,
c) simultaneously close the final chapter on a Great Experiment in governance which for more than 2 centuries served as a model for the world as the free-est, most moral, and compassionate nation in world history. And, finally…hold the scoffing laughter…
d) Usher into existence the darkest days for the entire world since the medieval period…rampant global terrorism, the most brutish regimes from various corners of the planet vying for world dominance, the sad remains of a once prosperous and strong America picked at and fought over by invading hordes of “migrants, refugees”, vandals, and enemy agents.
Too over the top? The musings from the fevered brain of a rightwing fanatic? Maybe, but if anyone thinks that the outcome of a contest for the leadership of America between Hillary Clinton and, say, a Paul Ryan/Nikki Haley ticket will change the plummeting trajectory of this nation, please explain how!
In the unlikely event the establishment-chosen GOP contenders win, is there any doubt that the government they will assume control of can accurately and “colorfully” be described as another “crap sandwich”? Unsustainable debt, a drastically depleted and demoralized military, an irreversible welfare state, non-existent borders, a country isolated from former allies and threatened from all sides by emboldened enemies,
And we’ve all seen how Mr. Ryan, as newly minted House Speaker turned the last such “sandwich” he “inherited” into a full 7 course “crap banquet”. In other words he is just not the character to do the job.
Either way, if the only choice voters have in November is that served up by the Washington establishment, eat up America, dinner is served. Bon Appetit!
Excerpts from the article by Adam Edelman
A group of establishment Republicans unhappy with the rise of Donald Trump — and the lackluster performances from his challengers for the GOP nomination — have banded together in an effort to get House Speaker Paul Ryan to run for president.
An email from a group called the Committee to Draft Speaker Ryan sent out a mass email Monday calling on GOP voters to sign a petition that would draft the Wisconsin Republican to run in 2016 as an alternative to Trump who could also help avoid a brokered convention.
“The presidential race has descended into little more than a schoolyard scuffle with poll after poll showing Donald Trump losing to Hillary Clinton in the general election,” Earle Mack, the group’s honorary chairman, wrote in the email.
“After eight years of Barack Obama and with the Supreme Court in the balance, our country faces a pivotal election. Going into what will likely be an open convention, the GOP, and America, needs a better choice,” Mack, who served as the U.S. Ambassador to Finland for two years during the George W. Bush administration, added. “Speaker Ryan has always answered the call of duty, stepping up to serve when no one else could, and we hope he will do so again.”
Mack formed the group last week and has reportedly already spent $1 million of his own money to fund it.
