Paul Ryan says Donald Trump won't be the GOP presidential nominee in 2024:

'We all know that he will lose'

Former House Speaker Paul Ryan said former President Donald Trump will not be the GOP presidential nominee in 2024.

By then, Trump's "unelectability will be palpable," the former Republican lawmaker said in a Teneo Insights Series conversation.

"We all know that he will lose," Ryan said. "Or, let me put it this way: We all know that he's so much more likely to lose the White House than anybody else running for president on our side of the aisle. So why would we want to go with that?"

Ryan, the GOP's former 2012 vice presidential nominee, said the only reason he stays relevant is because "everybody's afraid of him" going after them.

Then he'll run third party and take votes from the GOP. That's what you get for getting in bed with the creep.

That the bloated tick is going to burn it all to the ground if he cannot have it.

While Paul Ryan may be correct in asserting that TFG's "unelectability will be palpable," I'm not a bit sure that anyone in the Republican Party can defeat him and that GOP voters (in sufficient numbers) are looking to be "pragmatic."

If Trump runs, I'm afraid he will be the nominee.

If he is the nominee, I'm confident Joe Biden will beat him like a drum.

are doing so because even if a long shot, he's the only one that will give a pardon to the many who are going to need it. But they are too dumb to realize even if he did win, he may not pardon anyone. Trump doesn't think he ever owes anyone anything.

10. Why should you support him? Because he'll say mean things about all of you

and the base will eat it up.

You won't have a say in the matter, just like last time. Because nobody wants to vote for a nickname.

If Trump can run again, he will, and he'll get the nomination. Then he'll lose by a bigger margin than 2020.
