When is Paul Ryan going to renounce Trump? House and Senate should censure Trump.

[yellowcanine]

If he does not, he loses all moral authority to be House Speaker and should resign. Ditto for Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority Leader.

1. Can't Afford To

He can't.

Ryan wants to run for President himself in the future and well understands that without the votes of the racists and bigots who support Trump he,nor any other Republican for that matter, has any chance of being elected.

2. They should, but they are all without a moral compass at this point.

It's long past the point of any of them actually discovering a spine and calling out this unhinged freak for the black hole that he is. They're all afraid of him. With good reason apparently. The man is totally rudderless and getting worse by the day.

7. "rudderless" Excellent description!

"The man is totally rudderless and getting worse by the day."

3. If they don't repudiate him soon, they'll probably be sorry...

As he aligns himself more with the alt-right, others associated with HIM that aren't aligned with it will become tarred by it, eventually.

5. Secretly Ryan may agree with Trump on many issues

[anamandujano]

8. When he goes down in flames it will be too late to save their reputations.

He is more than half way down now.

We already know what they are about. Now their constituencies will get a clear picture. I don't believe all their voters are as bad as that to vote in someone who subscribes to the rot Trump has been spewing.

4. They won't

That would require work. Republicans in Congress are opposed to doing their jobs.

By the way, they got seven weeks of vacation this summer. Has anyone on this board ever taken that much time off from work?

6. Didn't Ryan tsk-tsk when Trump said "2nd amendment remedies" last time? When will he de-endorse? nt
