Strengths: M14 Score 7 — substantive budget-policy depth (chaired Budget Committee 2011-2015, architect of multiple Path to Prosperity proposals); M12 sustained institutional decorum; M01 + M03 generally institutional Republican comportment. Drag: M07 Score 5 — Speaker 2015-2019 mixed record calling out Trump-era conduct; sustained "I'm focused on policy" deflection on character questions during 2016-2018; M08 Score 5 — Speakership-era inaction on multiple Trump-administration conflicts (failed to investigate emoluments, etc.); retired 2019 rather than continue Speakership confrontation. M11 sustained Ryan family Janesville wealth; sustained suburban Wisconsin constituency disconnect on entitlement-reform priorities.
