Former relevant Republican and House Speaker Paul Ryan unintentionally gave former President Donald Trump a boost for his nomination in the 2024 presidential election.
In spite of his anemic popularity Ryan still seems to think that his words can make people take him seriously. Sure, in a way we do, but not in the way he uses them in order to influence us.
Ryan was interviewed by WITI Milwaukee's Jason Calvi and threatened the country's GOP with his refusal to attend the upcoming 2024 Republican National Convention if President Trump was the nominee. “It depends on who the nominee is. I’ll be here [in Milwaukee at the convention] if it’s someone not named Trump,” he warned the nation.
Well, that made everyone stop and think: if Ryan refuses to attend the convention if Trump gets the nod, why should I? Oh yeah, because Ryan won't be there.
The ego on some of these politicians is breathtaking.
“You won’t show up if it’s Trump?” Calvi asked.
“I’m not interested in participating in that, no,” Ryan responded. He blamed Trump for the loss of Republican seats in the last few elections, and would have blamed him for the East Palestine train derailment and toxic chemical spill and fires if Calvi asked him whose fault was the disaster. Ryan claimed that if Trump ran again, Republicans would lose and Joe Biden would be shaking hands with memories.

“There are great people running. I know them all. They’re all pretty decent friends of mine, and so I think any one of these candidates that are thinking about getting in the race, if they get in the race, would be a great candidate.”
“I think we’re going to beat Joe Biden if we don’t run Donald Trump,” he added.
I don't fully disagree with Ryan.
I believe that Trump did great things in his presidency, but I believe he is really a one-term president. Don't get me wrong, if Trump won the nomination, I would gladly vote for him, but Ryan may be correct in what he predicts. Trump drains the energy from the room--he's always "on," and he gets deeply involved in the daily minutiae of life.
But Ryan may be correct in his prediction, and even though Trump would be a much better POTUS than any Democrat, the media will be relentlessly attacking him and blaming him for everything they can.
At least Paul Ryan is inadvertently making the case to vote for Trump. It's like things the Left says--you know that when they say something, you can count on the opposite being true--it's known as the "ass backwards effect."
Here are some of the things people are saying about Paul Ryan's statement:
I was kinda on the fence about who I supported until that ringing endorsement for Trump.
There are few I despise more than Ryan.

Man, every time I start moving away from Trump, the world throws me one more reason to stick with him…

A Complete & Total Endorsement of @realDonaldTrump, love it!

So if Trump gets the nod and Ryan doesn't attend the RNC Convention, there will be no need for tissues. People on social media were quite clear that Ryan is no longer relevant and don't care a fig what he says or does.
