Fox News ^ | 5/9/2016 | Fox News

House Speaker Paul Ryan opened the door Monday to stepping down as Republican convention chairman if asked by presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, whom Ryan has declined to endorse.  

Ryan first made the comments during a meeting with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Christian Schneider tweeted: “.@SpeakerRyan on whether he'd step down as convention chair if Trump asks: I'll do whatever he asks me to do.”

Asked about the reported comments, a spokeswoman for Ryan confirmed to Fox News: “That is his position, yes.”

“I’ve been looking for 9 months. So far, I haven’t liked a lot of what I’ve seen.”

Hey cheer up maybe Cruz will run on the Dominion Party ticket for 7th King and you can vote for him. LOL!

Paul Ryan needs to put his money where his mouth is. He’s the one who came out on his own, WITHOUT ANYONE ASKING HIM TO DO SO, and expressed his disloyalty to his own party. He’s a big boy, he doesn’t have to wait for DJT to ask.

GET OUT, Ryan! Go join your GBN comrades over in the DNC!

Replace him with Sheriff Joe.

THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!

“I know a “con artist” when I see one.”

Re: your tagline:

“I’m going to do EXACTLY what I told you I’m going to do!” - Ted Cruz

OH REALLY?? And you just fall for his lying drivel. He’s not even doing his job as a senator!

(Cruz) Committee assignments:

According to transcripts as reported by Politico, in his first two years in the Senate, Cruz attended 17 of 50 public Armed Services Committee hearings, 3 of 25 Commerce Committee hearings, 4 of the 12 Judiciary Committee hearings, and missed 21 of 135 roll call votes during the first three months of 2015.[113]

“Oh, he’s not building the wall anymore?”

I don’t know. Why don’t you ask him what he told the New York Times, when he said he didn’t mean what he said in the debates and was flexible?

Do the research,non story.

I think Trump should announce he humbly accepts Ryan’s resignation from Republican convention chairman.

In case you didn’t notice Cruz is out of the race. So all the frivolous attacks on him are moot.

At this point, I’d like Trump to show me why I should vote FOR him, as opposed to just voting AGAINST Hillary.

Is that too much to ask?

To: diamond6; All

Let’s try to put this in terms you can understand:

Donald Rumsfeld perhaps said it best, “you go to war with the army you have, not the army you wish you had”.

Trump is going to be the nominee. You’re either going to be up on the front lines because the enemy IS Hillary, or you’re back in the rear with the gear.

There are plenty of reasons to vote for Trump. All you have to do is look around and discard whatever personal bias you’ve got in your backpack.

This website is going all in with our nominee Donald Trump vs Hillary/Bernie and the Marxist democrats. If you would like to be part of it, great, but if not, you might be more comfortable posting somewhere else.

Quit your whining.

Cruz lost. Trump won. What’s more, Trump won with the deck stacked against him. What’s more than that, Trump won overwhelmingly.

It’s your choice whether to throw a tantrum, fling spitefulness around, and let Hillary make your children suffer, or you can suck it up like a mature adult would.

Your choice, sweetheart.

They want Trump to stop being Trump so he can lose like Ted.

That way they can scream “ Told ya so!!!”

That ain’t gonna happen, they’d have better luck asking the Sun to kindly turn the light off so everyone can sleep.

Ahhh, zip it liberal mouthpiece, We’re not buying crazy here. You idiots with your “free speech rights” don’t realize that this is a website where those rules don’t apply. You’re a useless so called conservative who does nothing but help Hillary as her stalking horse troll and an agitator until you get the boot.
You add nothing to this site and a great cheer will go up when you and your establishment taking points are vanquished. Later Traitor.
