SARAH PALIN Announces She Will Work to Defeat Paul Ryan in Primary

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin announced on Sunday she will work to defeat Paul Ryan in his Republican primary.

This came after Ryan would not endorse the Republican nominee Donald Trump for president. On Thursday Republican Speaker Paul Ryan told Jake Tapper on CNN he was “not ready” to endorse Donald Trump yet.

Donald Trump won the GOP nomination on Tuesday after his landslide victory in Indiana.

Palin told Jake Tapper she believes Ryan will soon be “Cantored.”

CNN reported:

Sarah Palin will work to defeat House Speaker Paul Ryan by backing his primary opponent in Wisconsin, the former Alaska governor told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

Palin said in an interview that airs Sunday on “State of the Union” that her decision was sparked by Ryan’s bombshell announcement to Tapper last week that he wasn’t yet ready to support Donald Trump, the Republican presumptive nominee. Palin endorsed Trump back in January.

“I think Paul Ryan is soon to be ‘Cantored,’ as in Eric Cantor,” Palin said, referring to the former Republican House majority leader who was ousted in a shocking upset in 2014 when challenger Dave Brat ran to his right in a Virginia primary.

“His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people, and as the leader of the GOP, the convention, certainly he is to remain neutral, and for him to already come out and say who he will not support is not a wise decision of his,” Palin continued.

It will be interesting to see who the Cruz supporters will endorse in this race.

Hillary is a great white shark
Trump needs the heavy tackle
And a bigger boat

Is AMP Calypso a reliable outfit? Are there other polls that confirm the numbers?

The poll with Paul Nehlen up 48-41 is from Prntly

This is the same "Prntly" that the Washington Post called a "pro-Trump fake news website" back in April

I don't believe there are any other polls. This one is the only one in the news.

The idea is to tie up rino Ryan. If he has to take the time to defend his seat, the butt hole will shut up.

Oh, I knew what you meant about Mrs. Palin without the additional explanation: Hillary is the Great White Shark, Speaker Ryan is your "small fish".

I think we understand each other in this matter:

What about the rest of the incumbent RINOs (including those pretending to be Tea Party conservatives, but who turned out to be Demonicrat buttboys - not one even uttered a call for the impeachment of Traitorobama)? And the GOP senators running for reelection are just as feckless.

Maybe we should just elect transgender Republicans. They may not have balls anymore, but at least maybe they remember what it was like to have a pair.

the battleground isn't Wisconsin

That's a strange comment. In the primaries, the last stand of the backstabbing elite was Wisconsin! If we can defeat them there, think about the implications.

How much do we really know about Nehlen? I know there’s a bit of info on his site so I wrote him where he stood on abortion. No response in three days. Getting those position questions answered on his website in the very least would go a long way in having others support him fully.

I hate to say it, but I think you’re right. I was going to see her speak when she came up to Canada because I really admired her. Recently her speeches have come across more like a stand-up routine than serious political speeches. It could be that I compare every female political figure to Margaret Thatcher. Perhaps that’s not fair of me.

Talk about a Trojan Horse... Ryan is the absolute worse POS in Washington, and his buddy supports Ryan's positions.

I'd hold both of these open borders/amnesty, Obamatrade, TPP, budget-busting pukes accountable for their actions.

I love Sarah but I still say she is of little or no benefit to Donald.
The evil Libs have ruined her and made her a laughing stock.
She has little credibility left.

And she really does need a speech therapist.
Although beautiful and charismatic, her voice (especially when raised during a speech) is like chalk on a blackboard.

He would do much better with someone like Newt.

The lies spread about Sarah have no effect on me either.
I still think she is a great Conservative, but the evil Libs have all but destroyed her credibility. They’ve made a laughing stock of her.
Unlike you and I, I fear most Americans believe the lying Libs.

I’m afraid the evil, lying Libs have almost ruined her.
Most Americans, I fear, will not see her as you and I and the FReepers do.

I love Sarah, but I fear... Then love her, and be ye not afraid.

You're replying to the wrong guy. No fear here. I was quoting the post to which I was replying.

I hope I’m wrong, too. She’s a great Conservative
