Meet the Republican trying to oust Paul Ryan
WND ^ | 08/02/16 | PAUL BREMMER

Posted on 08/02/2016 1:58:31 PM PDT by pgkdan

Paul Nehlen is just one of hundreds of candidates running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives this year, but the businessman and inventor is running as if he’s in a national race. In a way, he is.

His Republican primary opponent, after all, is House Speaker Paul Ryan. And with the election scheduled for Aug. 9, national attention is intensifying as the campaign comes down to the wire.

“It’s absolutely a national campaign,” Nehlen told WND. “Paul Ryan opposes 92 percent of the GOP electorate on immigration and seven out of 10 voters on the Muslim refugee pause. Think about that for a moment. That is monumental.

“Paul Ryan has said he will not fund a wall and he will sue Donald Trump over his comments on Muslim immigration. It would be everything Paul Ryan could do to cause Mr. Trump to be a one-term, ineffectual president.”

---SNIP---

Richard Viguerie, a longtime conservative fundraiser who chairs American Target Advertising and Conservative HQ, agreed with Nehlen that Ryan and other establishment GOP legislators have betrayed conservatives.

“It was, ‘If we get a majority in the House and Senate, we’ll revoke Obamacare, we’ll build the wall, we’ll secure the border, we’ll do all these things,'” Viguerie recalled. “And then they get a majority and Obama says in December 2014 [of the $1.1 trillion spending bill], ‘I got everything I wanted.'”

Viguerie, the author of “Takeover,” believes Nehlen is at the vanguard of a power struggle for control of the GOP.

“I think you’ll find a lot more of these establishment types being challenged,” Viguerie predicted. “And it won’t all change in the 2016 election, but the groundwork is being laid now so the Republican Party going forward will never be the same.”

I agree there is an alternative to Ryan and a good one. I don’t know why but when I see a photo of P. Ryan, Guy Fawkes comes to mind.

The fact that Ryan is going to Koch conferences and continuing to push the anti-Trump line says to me that he thinks he has the election in the bag. Maybe he has a deal with local Democrats to vote in the open primary, or maybe recent polls indicate that he is way ahead. The establishment learned from Cantor, and they came prepared in the Cochran election. They will do whatever it takes to keep their speaker in place. So, while I am hoping and praying, I am not optimistic.

If he wins, and Trump does, too, there needs to be a move to oust him as speaker in November. A Trump win will give him a lot of leverage over the Republican caucus.

On Wisconsin!

Probably either or both of these

The question is, how well is Mr. Nehlen doing in regards to the polls in WI? Thank-you for your response WI voters.

The only poll I saw lately was a suspect one that showed Nehlen ahead. Some other people said the source was untrustworthy. A month before that there was a small poll that showed Nehlen behind , but Ryan with less than 50 percent. I am not in Wisconsin, so I can’t judge the mood of the people there. I know the mood of the people here—he’s got to go.

For years I've thought we've got to save America from the leftist Democrats.

Now, I see we have got to get America back because we have already lost it. Yes, the corruption has metastasized deep into the Republican party as well.

The press? The press has always been rotten, but they have sunk to lows that were unimaginable a decade ago. That includes some so called conservatives such as Mark Levin. That's right, I said it!

We now have one shot at getting our country back. That is Donald Trump and other patriots such as Paul Nehlen.

What is interesting is that when I tried to read this article from Drudge today, the screen went wild, the phone started making noises that it has never made and there were virus warning pop-ups. I shut it down and rebooted with no apparent harm. In four years of owning my phone, I'd seen something remotely close to that only one time.

There are some evil forces at work against liberty. What we can see now is only the tip of the iceberg. The way things are going, soon phones will self destruct if you don't "obey".
