After Orlando, Republican Party Unity Behind Trump Grows More Elusive
NBC News ^ | June 14, 2016 | Leigh Ann Caldwell

Posted on 06/14/2016 7:11:04 PM PDT by Innovative

House Speaker Paul Ryan told a room of Republican donors and elites in Park City, Utah last weekend that he endorsed Donald Trump to keep the Republican Party together.

That explanation implied that if the highest ranking Republican didn't support the top of the ticket and went against the legitimate winner of the primary electoral process that the Republican Party would limp forward as a divided party with no chance of electoral success. The Speaker suggested that he put party above personal preference for the sake of unity.

Just days later, party unity appears even more fragile.

Since wrapping up the GOP nomination, Trump has done little to ease the concerns of skeptical Republicans. He has ignored calls to change his tone, refocus his message on policy and ignore personal slights. Instead, he has doubled down on a controversial proposal to ban on Muslims entering the U.S., attacked the heritage of a federal judge and publicly insulted party leaders.

“Trump has already clarified that remark”

Problem is he talked last year about our GI’s stealing money in Iraq. He needs help laying out his hit list for the day. This will give the MSM another news cycle to bash him. Just like the mexican judge issue, he is wasting news cycles and hurting himself.

And don’t attack me...we have been on the train since the beginning and will to the end, but he really needs to raise his game quite a bit.

Ryan knows that WI will vote for Mrs. Bill and he hopes to hand on by her pants.

Your concern trolling is noted. Trump has made it very clear over the past year what he feels about the troops and military in general

The Republican party is not me...The Republican party should be holding Obama accountable for his inaction and MIHOP or LIHOP, you choose, terror attacks.

Nothing will. The treasonous GOP prefer the Butcher of Benghazi to Trump. Their current priority #1 is hiding that fact from the rubes on Main Street. So they spin, spin and spin.

“this country needs a coup more than an election”

No, the election in November will work just fine and Trump will be elected in a landslide and that election victory will give him a legitimacy that a coup could not provide.

But if you want you coup, you had better get out there a do something, as it can not be done via the Internet.

You’ve been fired. Ryan & McConnell do not want the votes of Trump supporters if it means they must govern in a patriotic manner.

Tell ya what’s going to happen, something’s going to happen to Trump if not really protected by the right people and there are secret service who and others in govt who WANT him protected!

If he is protected long enough, then there will be an attempt to create the perfect marshal law situation, that’s being created now with the FL thing and GUNS and reactions! It that is prevented by the military instead of supported then the last ditch move will be for obama to pardon the Clinton Criminals first and then to resign and have biden pardon his ass before TRUMP take Oath then they all head for a kingdom somewhere...but that is not wanted and there would likely be a dirty bomb (chemical or nuke or other) associated with that move to still cause the havic obama wants for the western civilizations that his “sh*t excetive actions would have otherwise slowly caused but TRUMP will surely recend on a wholesale basis!

“Your concern trolling is noted”

I’m not trolling and just because we know how he feels, doesn’t mean the voters who are just now starting to pay attention know. He needs to raise his game or he will lose, it’s that simple.

Correct. But what makes the likes of Ryan and Romney truly disgusting human beings is that they are enabling the Butcher of Benghazi. At the very moment 49 Americans lay dead on a street Orlando. This is clear treason, IMO. Americans will die if Hillary Rotten Criminal and her Democrat policies like open borders and soft on terrorism continue. American blood will be on the hands of McConnell, Ryan, etc. It’s that simple.
