Pierson: Ryan not fit for speaker if he can't back Trump

He was good at Ways and Means, but speaker seems over his head.

The Republican Party on a whole needs to be flushed...The losers that presently hold power are killing us each and every day. I just do not get how guys like Paul Ryan, who were heavily supported by the Tea Party, can just thumb their noses at We The People. Most of us had enough of their crap.

Thank you. I haven’t read that one and I will put it at the top of my reading list.

We do indeed have a lot of watching and praying to do. This one is for all the marbles. :-)

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yup. I used to be a big proponent of term-limits. Now I say screw that, nothing will get better until We The People step up and enact our own term-limits. It starts with us. WE have to quit turning these congress seats into lifetime appointments. My own state of Utah is a bad offender. Every time I think about Senator-for-life Hatch, I die a little inside. We were smart enough to flush Skeletor Bennett, it’s too bad we’re letting Hatch retire on his own accord instead of showing this skunk the door. He’s been infecting congress since 1977, that’s a travesty!

Funny how the establishment is throwing a fit over Trump but the last two elections were McCain/0 and Romney/0. Let’s send up the biggest loser RINOs we can find, that will win elections. Oh, that’s right, the Repubs aren’t about winning elections. They love being a lame-duck party where the president doesn’t even submit a budget, congress writes him a blank check, and congressional Repubs get to treat congress as a no-show job because they can meet any call to do anything with “we don’t have the votes”. Every damn one of them should be in prison for failure to meet even the most basic requirements of their jobs.

I think that's exactly what's going on - these guys want to coast. Play along to get along as the pointless "opposition" while they pretend to be fighting for conservative values on TV. It's all just kabuki theater. They're fine with what's happening, as long as they get to cash their checks as lobbyists and Chamber-of-Commerce types later.

There's a reason most of these guys never leave Washington, even after they retire - they're comfortable, and they're just fine with the status quo, while they play "conservative" during elections and put up "strawman" votes that don't accomplish anything.

Joining you in prayer.

“All the marbles” indeed. IMHO it could even be said it is for The Marble - the Big Blue Marble. If America and her people fall, there is no real toehold of freedom on the planet anywhere.

We MUST not fail - and prayer is the key.

Here we go bickering again. Let us unite and support conservative principles. When we spit, we lose our chance to have a better direction. Over and over the democrats win because they support their candidate. We divide and bicker, and refuse to yield to common sense.

God help America, we are in distress! To what end?

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die for us ... we are to seek to become like Him.

[Jane Long]

Amen!!

The time is now to unite or to chose to usher in Hillary.

[midlander]

Disaster stands directly ahead if we do not unite as a party, a nation. We have too many fell-fare immigrants recently in Nation that do not know how America works. What the principles are and how to learn them.

. . pro American President?

Sure has a nice ring to it. What a disgrace that we've had an American hating Laz List President. Never again!

Trump/Palin 2016!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Yep. Throw Zero a blank check so that he can give congress a nice piece in their offshore accounts while showering money on the Dept. of Education, HUD, and his other fair-haired-boy government agencies while completely screwing Defense.

TRUMP GOT THE NOMINATION NOT WITH RYAN’S HELP BUT DISPITE HIM.

Trump should insist that Ryan be deposed or he will campaign against Ryan.
