"...Of course, Ryan would break his promise after Trump’s shock victory. The self-styled wonk would, again and again and again, defend the president, enable him, and respond to his daily outrages with feeble handwringing. But the Wisconsin Republican is now trying to rehabilitate his doormat reputation. In a new book, portions of which were reported by the Washington Post on Thursday, Ryan tees off on the president, depicting him as a narcissistic, divisive loon and “uneducated about the government”—revelations that only further highlight how Ryan was knowingly complicit in Trump’s nightmare government..."

Ryan got the speakership because he had a relatively clean record and was in a very safe district, well it was that way until Trump bullied his way into the presidency, he had no choice but to leave and let his district remain R because he stood a very big chance of getting voted out either by a bagger in the primary or a D in the general, that was a solid R district. Eric Cantor was in a very safe R district then his constituents seemed to find out he was a Jew after 13 years of representing that district and doomed him...

Cantor wasn't doing much for his district taking his position for granted.  A Tea Party candidate was elected. After that, the inevitable redistricting occurred. 

The Onion is a satirical site, TP. Was that post meant to be humorous?

You caught on, good for you...

Yes it was, The Onion, more accurate than Fox news!

trump seems to ruin everything and everyone he touches.

Trump ruined the Onion, they can't make up news as outrageous as what he
does on a daily basis!

If you had written this book as late as 2014, you could not have sold it even as fantasy fiction.

trump seems to ruin everything and everyone he touches.

There is proof of that, goes even further back than when he threw Bill OReilly under the bus by standing by him just after getting the presidency. what did it take, about two days for Billy to leave the network after that schtick backfired?

Indeed. 
It seems old and tired now but remember that fool screwed up owning a casino. There is nothing in our government he has touched that is now not worse, or complete FUBAR. Trade, foreign relations, he has forever tainted the GOP and the Christian religion, ruined the reputations of respected CEOs and Generals, fox news is even trying to side step away from him.

He has the Midas touch in reverse, like a ***** touch as everything Trump touches turns to mold....
