Absolutely. Are there some people genuinely offended by Donald Trump? Sure.

But take the 2012 Romney/Ryan ticket.

Romney's son is on the board member where? 🤔

An ENORMOUS amount of money was thrown at Paul Ryan alone to push TPP. Trump wasted it all with the stroke of a pen.
Remember the media tried to portray the tension between Trump and Ryan as an ideological conflict?

Trump has governed as a solid conservative. You'd think Ryan would LOVE him.

But...

"Ryan’s Biggest Benefactors Will Lose Oodles Under President Trump" peoplespunditdaily.com/news/politics/…
Paul Ryan’s benefactors were also members of the U.S. Coalition for TPP. The 487-group coalition paid lobbyists some $2.6 BILLION while TPP was on their agenda, according to Open Secrets.

That was the real reason Ryan seat Trump. Not ideology.
Akin Gump et al, a K Street firm representing corporate members of the U.S. Coalition for TPP, was number 8 on the list of the 25 top contributors to then-Speaker Ryan.

Please, tell me about how Paul Ryan was a rock ridge conservative threatened by Trump's populism.

Puhahahaha!
So, sensing his time as a "conservative" political leader on K Street, oh, I mean in D.C., was at an end under the era of Donald Trump, he retired and did what...

Put himself in the position to influence coverage @FoxNews, the only non-liberal cable news outlet.

And he did it.
