The time has come for desperate measures against the Oligarchy.
We must continue to remove the heads of the republican establishment until they begin to listen to the American people.
Eric Cantor has been removed. John Boehner has been removed. Kevin McCarthy has been prevented. And there are already rumblings of a primary challenge to Speaker Paul Ryan!
Primary elections in the State of Wisconsin will be held on August 9, 2016.
We have between now and then to find a candidate, fund him or her, and propel them to victory over Ryan. However, we know the Establishment and its donors will go all out to protect Ryan, as they did for Mitch McConnell, who is now safely ensconced in the Senate Majority Leader position.
The Establishment will work to destroy anyone who to dares to run against Ryan in a primary. And then they will say "too bad, republicans, it's Ryan or the democrat."
The Establishment leadership protects itself by placing its chain of command in areas outside of conservative influence, Ohio (Boehner), California (McCarthy), Washington (McMorris-Rogers), Wisconsin (Ryan).
Cantor was from Virginia and was thus able to be removed, but currently only Steve Scalise is from a conservative state (Louisiana) and they have the "jungle primary" system there to protect him.
The Establishment can protect Paul Ryan from conservatives in a primary, but they cannot protect Paul Ryan from conservatives in a general election! (unless they can convince their buddies the democrats to allow Ryan to run unopposed, which isn't likely)
Therefore, the conservatives in Paul Ryan's district should be prepared to vote against Ryan should he make it through the August primary to the November ballot, and not just by withholding their votes, but by actively voting for the democrat.
For even if not defeated, Paul Ryan will be significantly weakened in his position, prompting others to rise up and run for speaker in January, 2017. We must do all we can, and only the conservatives in Paul Ryan’s district can do it.
And before I am accused of being a shill for the democrats, I ask that you think about all the Establishment donors who said that if Trump or Cruz is the Republican nominee, that they will vote for Hillary.
I ask that you think about John Warner endorsing Tim Kaine, or Richard Lugar endorsing Michelle Nunn, or Dede Scozzafava endorsing Bill Owens, or Bill Bolling endorsing David McCauliffe, or the republican legislators who endorsed Sam Brownback's opponent in Kansas last year. And on, and on.
Personally, I don’t think that the suggestion is a bad one. If the margin for R-D total still works out as a R Majority. I’d think that taking out the quisling traitor leader would be a good thing, myself. I’d like to see that with McConnell also.
Minor correction: Bill Bolling supported TERRY McAuliffe, aka Terry McAwful, while stabbing Ken Cuccinelli in the back. . . and was assisted by the RNC in doing so. . .
stupid...stupid...stupid...did I say STUPID?
it depends on the person imho. I think kicking out leadership and Mccain is worth losing the seat over

Ryan pushed through a budget plan that drives the national debt over 20 trillion dollars and he is bankrupting the country.
The Establishment will protect his seat by creating multiple opponents like they did with Boehner’s seat and done during the recent presidential nomination campaign cycles.
All 236 Republicans who elected him Speaker should not got our votes under any circumstances, even if it lets a Dem win.
I would not vote Dem, but would vote write-in or third party in the general.
Exactly. Very thought-provoking strategy that would leave politicos/elites heads spinning. ANYBODY running against statist/socialist (legal plunder) PR in the primary would be the best option though.
Absolutely. If McConnell was flushed out by a Rat, we would be in much better shape in the Senate. The GOP establishment needs to be taught a lesson. They are back stabbing traitors.
And Donald Trump’s money.
Stupid is a matter of perspective I guess. What is the difference between Ryan and a Democrat? Ryan gave Obama EVERYTHING he wanted with the recent budget. Ryan gave it to him back in 2012.....Ryan threw away his debate to Joe Biden for cripe’s sake.
Ryan is a smug punk that needs to be taken out. It’s worth it to replace him with a freshman Democrat if need be, but better if he could be taken out in a primary.
You did but you meant to say, "I am stupid because I think voting for a democrat that calls them selves a republican is really better than a democrat that calls himself a democrat.
Sure, it’s always better for Republicans/Conservatives to elect Democrats — that’ll show ‘em! Stupid is as stupid does.
That has got to be the dumbest strategy I’ve ever heard. No wonder we’re a minority.
Traitor
I might vote third party but I will never vote for a democrat.
CANTORIZE THIS WEASEL
I declined to vote for my republican state senator after he voted for NY’s unSAFE act. I could not vote for the democrat. I voted in other races but not that one.
I felt that way when “they” did their tyranny with Cochran to keep McDaniel out - just couldn’t bring myself to vote for the Dim so I wrote McDaniel in as my vote.
