House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), who will serve as the Republican National Convention chair in July, said on Tuesday that GOP lawmakers should attend the convention regardless of who the party nominates to be president.
A few Republican senators up for re-election in 2016 have said they may not attend the July convention, and CNN asked Ryan if he was fine with that.
“I’ve never heard that before. People will make the decision on what they want to do,” Ryan responded. “I think if you were planning on going to the convention, you should go.”
When CNN mentioned that Republicans up for re-election might be worried about being tied to the presidential nominee, Ryan replied, “Oh, I don’t think so.”
“I think that we should go. This is our convention making our nominee, so I think everybody should participate,” he added. “It could be a great historical exercise. I mean, it could be something you’ll remember the rest of your life, so I would go if I were, if I had a chance to go.”
Like any GOP Representative or Senator gives a fig anymore about what Ryan wants!
In an article, Ryan was gutted for his ineptness in not doing a thing since he became Speaker. No spending bills have advanced, his caucus is in tatters and he’s generally become a pariah in his own House due to weak-kneed leadership.
Kinda’ like a shorter, less tanned and younger John Boehner…less the red wine and cigarettes! LOL
You forgot the ‘orange’ look.
Yes, I’m sure your constituents will see and fondly remember you holding Trump’s arm up in victory. Please do that.
I think I can say for sure John McCain wont be voting in the presidential election in November.
He hates Cruz and Trump dissed his service to the country.
If he hasn’t heard that by now, he’s more clueless than that deer-in-the-deadlights look of his gives. And the conditional “if you were planning on going” says it all. Plenty of trapdoor to wiggle out.
This is going to be a disaster.
