I was glad to see Ryan leave the house myself.

He’s the reason I didn’t vote for romney.

Now it would be both of them.

I swear, sometime around 2025 or so, 90%+ of conservatives will swear up and down that they never voted for or supported Donald Trump, “that smug New York liberal elitist”

Paul Ryan… a profile in courage.

This deserves a bump. Made me LOL for real.

[NuffSaid]

Paul Ryan is still a spineless coward.

I know, everybody MUST love Trump and offer their complete loyalty to him.

That the left likes Ryan just proves my point.

And you love Hillary Clinton.

I think some conservative talking heads will be sent to the trash heap of history post trump. It’s going to be too hard to come back after fully supporting him.

Yep. It’s just a business decision.

So this seems like an admission that Fox isn’t at all objective and supporting trump is a corporate mission.

Nah. 30% of america loves trump and will always love trump. That’s enough people to pull an audience from.

Too late… Fox will forever be tied to Trump. There’s no mea culpa on this.

If the reports are true about Fox trying to move to the center, it is trying to sanitize its history now. It has a lot of work to do.

Given the great probability that the Trump family’s next enterprise will be a news network to capitalize on Don Sr. and Don Jr.'s popularity with the MAGA base, all the Trump shills will be able to move to new homes there.

If the Trumps go this route, it will be interesting to see how they divide the audience with Fox and which Fox stars jump to TrumpTV.

If you remember, that was in the works before the election (because Trump didn’t think he would win) and the only thing that stopped it was him getting elected. I’d bet the farm that this will happen as soon as he’s out. As for who’d jump, good question. Would someone with a huge audience now jump to a fledgling network? Kind of doubt it.

I know one that will definitely go. And it will be interesting.

I remember when Sarah Palin was popular too.

Why wait. I’ve been on record here for a long time that I didn’t vote for trump, just none of you ever listen.

@ohknow35

I’ve been a registered republican since I came of age. I voted for

hw bush in 1992
dole in 1996
gw bush in 2000, 2004
mccain in 2008
left my ballot blank for POTUS in 2012 and 2016.

I don’t think I’ve said anything about “hating trump”, so I’m not sure where that came from, but he has disappointed me on multiple occasions. Still better than any possible dimocrat though.

I’ve posted before that on this and the other board that I left my vote blank.

And he is a New York liberal.

Report: Paul Ryan Pushing Fox News to ‘Decisively Break’ with Trump

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan, who currently sits on the board of Fox Corp., is reportedly urging Fox News to “decisively break” with President Donald Trump, according to a Thursday Vanity Fair report documenting the network’s “management bedlam.”

Vanity Fair ’s Gabe Sherman, citing four sources, reported that Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, who has long tried to move Fox News to the center, “is already thinking about how to position the network for a post-Trump future.”

Ryan, the longtime Trump antagonist, has reportedly been suggesting to Murdoch that “Fox should decisively break with the president” as Murdoch holds “strategy conversations with Fox executives and anchors about how Fox News should prepare for life after Trump.”

I wonder - is it just his own dislike of Trump or pragmatism and business at work ?

Apparently he was helpless in the position of Speaker.
