What makes Paul Ryan especially bad is that he's a sort of anti-Trump in that, while he's no less prone to lies and theatrics, his lies and theatrics are aimed squarely at fooling political journalists, almost all of whom are ignorant and credulous enough to believe him. Who could ever forget that fawning, cringe-worthy interview that Ezra Klein gave him just a few years ago?
That's very true. I remember in 2012 how he seemed to repeatedly get away with the most blatant lies. He's a terrifying person tbh.
