He was a white knight by taking the job that somebody had to step up to,


and nobody wanted.

I mean, not that I'm a major Ryan proponent, but it is not at all surprising that one with your evident political leanings thinks as you do. But to many repubs and I bet independents as well, I imagine Ryan gets kudos for executing an incredible balancing act between traditional repubs, freedom caucus repubs, and Trump nationalist repubs, helping to deliver a tax bill they all like along the way, complete with an end to the Ocare mandate which might finally achieve the "repeal" part of repeal and replace.

And say whatever you want about the man, he handled it all with grace. So for those who would never vote for a repub, yeah, not going to be a fan. For those looking for a some way to redefine the "right" away from Trumpism in 2020, which may be a sizable portion of the repub voters, Ryan could be very interesting.
