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

This may be good for the general but it spells the end of a conservative Republican party. There were conservative candidates
**************************************
There was never a conservative Republican party.
16 of the 17 would not commit to upholding the rule of law and deporting illegal aliens. Cruz belatedly came to that position.

No one was more conservtaive than Trump on the one issue that matters most to most Americans.
Ending the illegal alien inundation.

Put some more Butt Hurt Cream on it.

Man, I love what this lady said! She was absolutely right on all points.

It is still such an incredible feeling to finally have the people’s anger and rebellion against the status quo, being so well represented in Donald Trump.

That seems pretty disingenuous to me. Nobody is asking Ryan to violate his conscience. He is one of the highest leaders of the republican party, not some guy off the street. It is his job to support his party’s nominee. He can and should resign if he can’t do his job. I take it you are saying that Ryan betraying his voters by pushing through a budget that gave Obama everything he asked for and increased our debt by a couple of trillion did not violate his conscience but backing his party’s nominee does? I think that after Ryan’s performance this past few years he likely does not have much of a conscience to worry about. I suspect this has more to do with Ryan’s personal ambition that anything else.

She would be better as Trumps Press Secretary.

She is doing a stellar job as his Campaign Spokesman at this time. She is brilliant.

[uncitizen]

Ya know, that’s not a bad idea.

I don’t often eat pig, but when I do, I chow on American farm raised Georgia pig or Carolina hog, Never Canadian Bacon.

There’s No class in pretending to uphold the Constitution when the dude is clearly ineligible born of Canadian parents in Canada.

Ted dropped out of the race as soon as the talk when mainstream on Papa Cruz. His timeline and story was about to totally unravel on national news. Paul Ryan and everyone was very surprised since Ted was staying the course to Cleveland. At the convention, the GOPe was going to change rules, unseat major state delegations (including Florida) and DQ individual delegates to knock out Trump.

Cruz had no choice, he had to end his campaign. It’s about time the obscure stories of Rafael’s Cuban tales and unsupportive documents were exposed. Papa may or may not have known the Cubans involved with Oswald, but he sure took off to Canada at the right time - ‘64 & ‘67. And much more importantly, he and Ted’s mother became Canadian citizens.

No jus soli, No jus sanguis. Ted was a 100% Canadian NBC-documented.

When Ryan speaks of “unifying the party”, he is speaking of a small part of the party containing the RINOs. He does not consider all of the republican registered voters as part of the “party”.

The GOPe is an exclusive part of the “party”, a closed loop, a “star chamber” of those who swill the kool-aid of the cult and swear blood Allegience to the Obama cult.

Ryan has never, and will never, speak to, or for, the people - except maybe at election time.

It’s a frat boy fraternity who pick and choose who gets in the club. Trump would upset the leadership and circumvent their authority by doing the unthinkable - exposing them to the voters.

Ryan’s tiring to sit this one out until someone comes up with a plan to “dump Trump”. But, he’s finding it very hard to sit comfortably with the handle of tha silver spoon protruding from his @$$.

[uncitizen]

It’s good that you snapped out of it quick. So many of the former Cruzies act like we’ve got to beg them to get on board the Make America Great Again Express. Very prideful and childish. And stupid to be blunt. If it’s not obvious to a person by now that Trump is the man to get behind then that person is a fool.

[Carry me back]

Great going Katrina.

[Windflier]

I don’t understand how you can be “on the fence” about supporting Trump at this point.

The primary is essentially over. There are no more challengers for the nomination. Stealing the nomination from Trump at the convention is a fool’s fantasy.

He is the one.

Your only other choices, at this point, are the Democrat nominee, or some brand x party candidate.

Clearly, this isn’t rocket science.

Thank you for reading Trump’s books. I’ve been screaming at people to do the same. The man has written, how many, 4-5 books? How dare anyone form an opinion about a man, or woman, without reading anything that person has written. I see so many misrepresentations about Trump. Just read, “The Art of the Deal” and you will know the man. He makes the statement several times in his book, “But that would have been morally wrong”, when relating how he could have done something differently to win.

In “Crippled America” he outlines every one of his major policies that he plans to implement. Both books are not hard to read and I enjoyed both. He’s got a gentle sense of humor. When people write down their thoughts, they reveal who they are. Read.

I just got back from our PAC meeting today, the New England Alliance for liberty and free markets by a vote of 48 to 2 has decided to go on board for trump. It official. Were for Trump. So I'm not on the fence on this anymore.

BTW were also starting a new organization, Women Against Socialism and Islam.

>>I don’t fully trust Donald Trump
>>>>>Why should you? You're voting for a politician. Never trust a politician,

Trump should know that WE The People know going into this what his and his crew's history is.

If they stay on task as promised and drag The Party(tm)'s vampires out of their golden bureaucratic  L.I.F.E.R. sarcophagi they might get rewarded with a 2nd term.

If, OTOH, they start to grow fangs, lurk in the shadows because they start to smoke in the day light, and put the sheeple on the menu --  WE will know that too.

There will be no feeding frenzy allowed.

AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE

Well, after listening to all the pros and cons of Mr. Trump over the last few months, I decided the worst case scenario is this.....

All of the politicians have told people what they want to hear, and sounded great, for years. They then get into office and sell out. Nothing changes. Abortion still going strong. Israel is now being sold out. The country is so far in debt it may never see the light of day, and the economy is in the crapper.

So, politicians all say they’re going to do the right things and they don’t. A complete outsider has come along and says he is going to turn things around. If I just look at the odds, they favour the outsider. You KNOW what the politicians who say the same thing are going to do, but you’ve never given a shot to a guy like Mr. Trump. I think he should have a crack at it to see what he can do. I suspect you might be pleasantly surprised, even though he won’t make everyone 100% happy.

This is the bottom line.

Fantastic on the women thing. Very much needed. Conservative women are being steam-rolled by the feminist movement.

[perfect_rovian_storm]

You’re absolutely right, but unfortunately there are a couple groups of people on ‘our side’ that are either stuck fighting political battles from decades ago or are so afraid of systemic change that they can’t fathom the idea of a Trump presidency. I hope we can get more of the first group to wake up, but it’s an uphill battle.

“Ryan is a party leader, he can either STFU and support the nominee or quit the party and resign the speakership.”

Well said! I agree completely. It’s time to choose.
