Everyone who works with Trump is tainted by his filth; no-one escapes unscathed. Ryan has enough distance from Trump that he doesn't have to go down with him or for him, but it appears that he has decided to do so.  Ryan is so focused on his determination to take health care away from millions of people to give a tax cut to the rich that he seems to have decided to throw in with Trump for the long haul -- which may not turn out to be all that long.  When one considers who loses the most by lying for Trump, the names of Paul Ryan and Mike Pence have to be near the top of the list. These guys will never get their reputations back; nor should they.
