  • Why is Ryan Surprised

    I started listening to this show when my kids were showing. I enjoy the show and now that they’ve graduated, I mainly listen to the political conventions at the start at the show. I love the different points of views. I do find it odd, that as a Trump supporter, Ryan is surprised he’s discriminated against for being gay. More will come over the next four years. You can’t have one and not the other. Best of luck.
