Trump camp suggests Ryan unfit to be speaker

Donald Trump and his allies are lashing out at House Speaker Paul Ryan for his refusal to back — for now — the presumptive Republican nominee, with Trump’s spokeswoman even declaring Ryan unfit for his job.

During a phone interview with Fox News on Friday, Trump said he was “very, very surprised” at Ryan’s comments. “It’s hard to believe,” he said, adding, “It doesn’t bother me at all.”

His tweets, however, suggest otherwise.

“So many great endorsements yesterday, except for Paul Ryan!” Trump tweeted. “We must put America first and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Roughly 90 minutes later, Trump came back with a sharp critique of another comment Ryan made Thursday. “Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party. Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

Trump won Ryan's district in the primary.

Hopefully those voters will throw Ryan out.

Paul Ryan is not representing the citizens, he is representing the Cheap Labor Express. The only person more deserving of being Cantorized is McAmnesty.

Ryan is obviously unaware that he may be Cantorized in the WI primary.

Katrina said it outright. There was no suggestion to it.

And, he isn’t.

Cantor and the entire GOPe could not believe Cantor was beat either.

Ryan is either going to have to come round and represent the people...or he is going to get washed away in the Trump tsunami.

Trump should drive the Dump Ryan Truck around the district for a day a month.

Pribus should contact Ryan and see if he still wants to chair the RNC. There is still time to get a replacement.

Trump’s reply to this weasel should be ......

The reason people want Trump if because of people like Paul Ryan. Ryan and his clown show have added almost $20 trillion to our national debt since he’s been in office.

Ryan is just another of the “professional politicians” that have thought all along that making speeches and sounding sincere to the “masses” was enough...He, like almost all the “establishment elites”, figured that their politispeak made them high on the pedestal that they saw themselves on...

Along comes a guy who is NOT a politician, but a person who believes in America and the American people....

They just don’t know how to handle him and can’t figure out what has gone wrong???

This is what Trump should say when he meets Ryan, “get on board or I support your opponent in the primary.”

Newt said

“[I]n the case of Paul Ryan he made a big mistake today and he needs to understand this,” Gingrich said. “He is the Speaker of the House. He has an obligation to unify the party. He has an obligation to reach out. Obviously he and Donald Trump are going to have disagreements. Some of them will work out and some of them they won’t. That’s fine. Our constitution provides that speakers and presidents can fight, but I think he sends the wrong signal and a signal which I think endangers the House Republicans and endangers the Senate Republicans.”

Newt is right

See Ryan represents the interest of Multi National Corps. They want jobs shipped overseas, whether its Indian IT tech support, or banking call centers instead of Americans, or moving whole factories abroad, they bribe Ryan, and theb Poof the people lose jobs they had for decades. In many cases they are 2nd generation employees of the same company.

Multinational get H1b visas even though we have lots of long term unemployed STEM workers.

See its all about the Cheap Labor express. Our politicians sold us out, and now they complain because the the people got wise to this bribery and are voting for Mr. Trump.

Our workers were sold out by Judas Pols who have no economic nationalism, they have no regard for people losing their homes to foreclosure, having to go on welfare, and unemployment. People losing hope and their dreams

Since its the same all over the country, just relocating does not get you a job because things are just as bad everywhere.

That’s exactly what he should say, and probably WILL say.

Trump is right. Ryan is a despicable scoundrel.

I would love to see Donald Trump endorse Paul Nehlen or at least provide support on the QT. Weasels like Paul Ryan are exactly the reason conservatives hate the GOP.
