Former House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke last night at the Reagan Library in Simi, CA. The main thrust of his remarks apparently was criticism of President Trump, or maybe that was the part CBS News chose to report.
Exactly why Ryan was invited is anybody‘s guess. He was Romney’s failed vice presidential candidate and then became without doubt the least consequential GOP Speaker in modern memory.
Ryan took the Speaker position reluctantly when seemingly nobody wanted it, and did essentially nothing with it. Now we are asked to treasure his Romneyesque insights about a President who, despite his rough edges, got things done.
I have not missed Paul Ryan for the past two years. I see no good Republican purpose served by his untimely and unwarranted ‘resurrection’ by the Reagan Library.
