OLD CW: Trump a dangerous authoritarian & existential threat to democracy!
NEW CW: Trump too lazy to be dangerous authoritarian! (& we have safeguards)

RYAN'S RECORD: He got Trump to waste a year on his unpopular ideologically driven health initiatives, which failed. Then, after giving Dems the issue they would use to beat his caucus at the polls, he quit. https://t.co/Q6i6XUTnyU
