Ryan must do the bidding of the people who finance his reelection
Follow the money
we cannot allow that to happen.
Here's an interesting graphic that shows the 1st and 2nd place GOP Primary finishers in the last 10 residential Elections...40 years.
It is clear that this will be the largest turnout since 2000. In that year, Bush set the record for GOP Primary votes for any GOP Primary presidential candidate at just over 12 million. McCain got the most 2nd place votes in history to that point with just over 6 million.
In this campaign, Donald Trump is right near 11 million with seven more contests to go, including California. He is certain to break George W. Bush's record. In addition, Ted Cruz has alrady broken John McCain's 2nd place record with over 7 million votes. Her'es a commonality between 2000 and 2016.
In 2000 we were coming of 8 years of Clinton and the people were engergized.
This year we are coming off of 8 years of Obama and people are all the more energized.
This will easily be the largest GOP turnout in history. Probably 21 million or more. In 2000, we managed 18 million in the primaries.
Trump is responsible for this by tapping in far most effectively into the frustration of the American voters.
Can you all feel the “Shiv” in your back yet?
Sounds like Ryan is gearing up to Stab Mr Trump in the back, fortunately I think Trump knows it and is about to steamroll over the quisling speaker.
From their joint statement, it looks like that's true, and vise versa.
Anither article on the subject:
Trump, Ryan say they are ‘totally committed’ to uniting their party
I hope it’s true and Ryan isn’t planning some back-stabbing maneuver.
Trump for President.
Let’s be pragmatic, Trump needs the party (org and infrastructure) and the party needs Trump (new votes). All you who think Ryan bowed to Trump might be a good picture in your mind, but it doesn’t exist in the real world. It all now is about winning and what each can get from it.
Did they unify for or against funding 0bamaCare?
Ryan: “blah, blah, blah, core conservative principles, blah, blah, blah, but I’m still refusing to endorse the GOP Presidential nominee. I haven’t yet given up on my dream of trying to nuke Trump in order to help Hillary get elected this election cycle so I can run against her in four years myself as the GOPe white knight.”
[btw, anyone else notice that Ryan was so freaked out in that press conference that his body language made him look like he was standing on a hot griddle?]
I still hope that Ryan is primaried out of his seat....Sarah Palin has endorsed Paul Nehlen, Ryan’s primary opponent and has unleashed funding form SARAHPAC.

It was shortly after the Palin announcement that we find Ryan trying to find “common ground” with Trump, when in fact Ryan sold out America in both the Iran Deal and the Omnibus Budget.
IMHO soon Ryan will not have a House Seat and will no longer be a vexation to Trump’s agenda to Make America Great Again.
Trump plays hard ball, all of this “unity” whimsy is actually all show and a SORDID attempt to derail the Trump agenda.
I don't give a rat's rear end about "unity".
You establishment folks got your feelings hurt. Too bad, so sad. Let me tell you what we do care about: winning.
Beat Hillary. At the end of the day, we can't afford another 4 years of this awful economy. We want to win. So, suck it up and be a man. You make nice with Mr. Trump and you vote for him. If you can't do that, then accept that you will be back in WI soon. Don't worry, I will get you a job here in Green Bay.
Yet, the thundering herd of self-appointed "conservatives" seeking "unity" and accommodation of "conservative principles" with Donald Trump is a guy who is represented by a guy rated by these "conservatives" an F on their own scoreboard and, assuming +/-50 would be the dividing line between liberal and conservative (?) Ryan is barely conservative at all.
So where is the darn endorsement Ryno?
