It was disgusting, listening to all the politicians and talking heads slaver over the noble and altruistic policy wonk’s retirement announcement yesterday. He wants to spend time with his family? Sure he does.
What a joke. I know more about economic policy than that Koch tool. His only gift was the ability to twist policy to fit his donors’shopping list. Notice he pushed for entitlement reform in his announcement and said he will continue to work for it.
Fuck Paul Ryan. Good riddance!

This entirely. And the Paul Ryan gauzy fiction held through dozens of votes on his budgets, which would have decimated the poor, the sick and the elderly. His contempt for the social safety net, and the fact that his numbers never added never marred his “boy wonder” image. https://t.co/agWBHb29aL

The "now Paul Ryan is finally free to do what's right!" chorus tells you everything you need to know about the true cluelessness of Beltway media types.

More on Ryan: he has failed at both his pretended goals and his real goals. He pretended to be a champion of fiscal responsibility, convincing naive centrists that he really meant it; but his legacy is one of bigger deficits 1/

To everyone who got involved in politics after 2016, who knocked on doors, who went to a rally, who donated, who voted,
You’re the reason Paul Ryan is leaving.
