ANALYSIS: Paul Ryan Battling Donald Trump for Soul of Republican Party
CNN ^ | 05/06/2016 | Rick Klein

Posted on 05/06/2016 12:39:46 PM PDT by RayofHope

Donald Trump has used tweets to insult women and ethnic groups, and to drive news cycles over everything from his late-night TV choices to his midday food options.

But he escalated his feud this morning with House Speaker Paul Ryan in a profound way, with implications and ramifications that extend far beyond November.

“Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!”

On a basic level, Trump is right. He stands now as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because of millions of the Republican Party’s own voters, and in spite of, almost to a man and woman, the party’s leadership.

Incorrect premise.

The Republican Party as is has no soul.

But that’ll change soon.

Paul Ryan needs to stand down. Trump won. Even Ryan’s friend Priebus, quickly got on board Trump’s agenda and throw away that GOPe sellout to Obama agenda..

Corrected: Paul Ryan needs to stand down. Trump won. Even Ryan’s friend Priebus, quickly got on board. Time to accept Trump’s agenda and throw away that GOPe sellout to Obama agenda.

Interesting that the Republican Party is something "inherited" by the likes of Romney, Ryan, and the Bushes. Trump handled that Freudian slip by Ryan beautifully.

Trump is 100% about this aspect of his personality. He's one heck of a counter-puncher.

Trump vs Ryan? I’ve got no dog in this fight. By the way Trump’s already won and we all have to deal with it. The witch is in the wings.

Does an ant battle the shoe which crushes it?

Ryan and Romney, curses to conservatives,
by the power of the People in a Second Revolution,
are about to go the way of the criminal illegals,
and either self deport or be removed.

Paul Ryan, the non-enitity who let a gigglinig idiot like Joe Biden defeat in a debate, then gives away the shop to Obama in a GINORMOUS budget.

Get lost Paul Ryan.

The other evening on Fox Business a talking head said Trump had just taken over the RNC by the will of its base. A bloodless revolution. Maybe Ryan wants to donate some blood.

Well wouldn't the time that you are running for the Vice President have been the time to do that. But you were so busy trying to look like you wanted to win while at the same surrendering to Obama and Biden.

The other thing that bothers me is that a lot of us held our noses and voted for he and Mitt. They now show how dishonorable they are by trying to the thwart the will of the people who finally got to actually choose the candidate they wanted.

Let's get this man primaried. He is just a nothing.
