In an interview on CNN's "New Day," host John Berman asked Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson whether Ryan was fit to retain the speakership if he can't get behind Trump as the GOP standard-bearer.

"No, because this is about the party," Pierson replied. "The last two presidential cycles we were told John McCain was a conservative..."

Good point.

I'd be happy to see her as press secretary.

It’s cool. I honestly don’t know what kind of president Trump will be. The enemies he’s made are numerous, but at the same time he has the to right enemies for me to support him. That may sound strange, but the way I see it, the GOPe represents a leftist infiltration of party leadership. All Trump did was pull off the mask and clearly reveal them and they are now scurrying about like cockroaches exposed to the light for the first time.

Maybe Trump isn’t a right wing conservative, but perhaps he is the conservative we need right now at the right time.

Good luck with your journey on this, I hope it brings you to a good place. Same for all of us.

I am and have been impressed with her. Trump hopefully will find a job for her and Corey in his administration. Something mid level obviously but a Good job.

Tyranny's where we've been heading under RINO's non-opposition to the growth of the nanny state, bank bailouts, perpetual war, Obama, Obamacare, open borders. What the heck have you people done to stop any of this.

Not a Trump fan, but it's definitely time for something new. RINOs/"conservatives" *never* really stand for anything when it really matters but their own interests when push comes to shove. Time they got the middle finger.

I am pretty sure everyone will be on board eventually. All Hillary needs to do is open her mouth...

He has the right enemies. He’s going to need to travel in that ‘pope-mobile’ thingy if they keep it up.

I don’t fully trust Donald Trump

Why should you? You're voting for a politician. Never trust a politician, for any reason. You'll always be bitterly disappointed.

But compared to what President McCain or President Romney would have done? I don't think Trump is capable of sinking that far into the primordial ooze of the GOPe liberalism to reach their level. Pride would keep him afloat in that sea.

To an extent, there is some trust out there.. I trust Ryan to give President Hillary or President Bernie whatever they please, just like he gave Obama whatever he demanded.

Love Katrina’s answer, because this is exactly what I have been telling people. The idea that we hold our nose and vote for him four years when he and Mitt were shoved down our throat and now he doesn’t want to support our choice. Just resign then.

Bottom line is very simple:

Vote Trump= Make America Great Again...

Vote Anyone else= Bring in the NWO, CFR, TTP, TPA, H1Bvisas; UN Military; ISIS; Sharia Law...

Uh, if you’re going to blab about who you’re voting for and if you’re a key player in a political party, I wouldn’t say that getting criticism is “tyranny.” If you don’t keep it to yourself who you’re voting for then you’re fair game. Don’t see much wrong with that really. Not much different from open support for a candidate. Don’t see that as “tyranny”, just freedom and free speech.

Ryan backed and ran with Romney, the most liberal of liberals, yet, he find Trump to be what, too conservative?

Not fit for speaker?

Not fit for a free republic. UNIPARTY PR…Paul Ryan plundering the republic…should be fitted for a federal prison uniform with 534 other gang members.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt...

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

http://www.buddycarterforcongress.com/once-again-we-have-no-federal-budget/

The most important question that was ever proposed to your decision, or to the decision of any people under heaven, is before you, and you are to decide upon it by men of your own election, chosen specially for this purpose. If the constitution, offered to your acceptance, be a wise one, calculated to preserve the invaluable blessings of liberty, to secure the inestimable rights of mankind, and promote human happiness, then, if you accept it, you will lay a lasting foundation of happiness for millions yet unborn; generations to come will rise up and call you blessed. You may rejoice in the prospects of this vast extended continent becoming filled with freemen, who will assert the dignity of human nature. You may solace yourselves with the idea, that society, in this favoured land, will fast advance to the highest point of perfection; the human mind will expand in knowledge and virtue, and the golden age be, in some measure, realised. But if, on the other hand, this form of government contains principles that will lead to the subversion of liberty — if it tends to establish a despotism, or, what is worse, a tyrannic aristocracy; then, if you adopt it, this only remaining assylum for liberty will be shut up, and posterity will execrate your memory.

Momentous then is the question you have to determine, and you are called upon by every motive which should influence a noble and virtuous mind, to examine it well, and to make up a wise judgment. It is insisted, indeed, that this constitution must be received, be it ever so imperfect. If it has its defects, it is said, they can be best amended when they are experienced. But remember, when the people once part with power, they can seldom or never resume it again but by force. Many instances can be produced in which the people have voluntarily increased the powers of their rulers; but few, if any, in which rulers have willingly abridged their authority. This is a sufficient reason to induce you to be careful, in the first instance, how you deposit the powers of government.

So far therefore as its powers reach, all ideas of confederation are given up and lost. It is true this government is limited to certain objects, or to speak more properly, some small degree of power is still left to the states, but a little attention to the powers vested in the general government, will convince every candid man, that if it is capable of being executed, all that is reserved for the individual states must very soon be annihilated, except so far as they are barely necessary to the organization of the general government. The powers of the general legislature extend to every case that is of the least importance — there is nothing valuable to human nature, nothing dear to freemen, but what is within its power. It has authority to make laws which will affect the lives, the liberty, and property of every man in the United States; nor can the constitution or laws of any state, in any way prevent or impede the full and complete execution of every power given. The legislative power is competent to lay taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; — there is no limitation to this power…

And are by this clause invested with the power of making all laws, proper and necessary, for carrying all these into execution; and they may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the state governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual states, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter therefore will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way. Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over every thing that stands in their way. This disposition, which is implanted in human nature, will operate in the federal legislature to lessen and ultimately to subvert the state authority, and having such advantages, will most certainly succeed, if the federal government succeeds at all.

In a free republic…

>>I’m on the fence right now. I don’t fully trust Donald Trump but I don’t want Hillary or comrade stalin I mean Bernie in the white house.

Fortunately, there are good American men and women who traditionally vote Democrat due to union support or some other single issue and they are sitting on that same fence. They are welcome on the Trump side and will find that their life under Trump will not be severely disrupted.

What will your life under Hillary be like? But don’t worry, the rest of us have got this!
