[ Don’t you get it.... McCain or even Ryan might go down. They could try to blame it on Trump. But hey! Trump endorsed them. Get it?]

Unfortunately many here in FR DON’T get it!! They can’t think beyond the surface, and lose the depth of the true intention and result. And are ready to give up and jump off of a clip.

While many of us here on FR are thinking like and understanding the way the chess game it being played, others here are still struggling to take the plastic wrap off of their checkers box...

Smart move on Trumps part. He wins either way. They will still work to stab him in the back, and he knows it. If they lose he wins, if they dont he removes the “created narrative” that they dont back each other. Once Trump is elected he can give these Clowns there Night of the Long Knives in future elections that they have Richly Deserve. Traitors.
Go Trump

“Optics here look real bad for Trump.”

We will have to disagree on that point.

Nehlen truly is a classy guy and his statement is perfect. Hope he wins.

“Ryan will just feel emboldened now to continue attacking Trump.”

Only until Trump is President. Then the shoe will be on the other foot.

Sorry, that’s just spin.

That's not spin. That's your weak premise that Trump somehow bowed to the globalists and Chamber of Commerce to back Ryan.

My analysis is that Trump simply served a volley back into Ryan's home-court. If Ryan concern trolls Trump again, then all bets are off. Ryan is Speaker of the House. He is the most powerful Republican in Washington. If he loses, all good. But if he wins as expected, Trump will have to work with him. And by endorsing him, Ryan will pay more attention to Trump than to his globalist masters.

Nehlen had a very very classy response
Kudos!
Head and shoulders above anything said by that sniveling weasel Ryan
Nehlen is the conscience of the new party
Not Ryan

I hope he wins but if not I hope he has a future role

Sorry, you missed my point. We need all hands on deck. We are not going to get that. That’s not on Trump. That’s on the GOP. I’m not unhappy with Trump endorsing Ryan. It should have been done better. I’m unhappy with Ryan for not reciprocating. He can’t even show Trump the courtesy to appear with him. He’s a real POS and he is NOT going to be fully supporting Trump no matter how much Trump grovels for his support.

I don't think it is any of that. Might be... but I don't think so. What would be hysterical is if Ryan or McLame or even Ayotte attempt to use Trump's endorsement. He really put them all on the spot. Once again it's a 'Trump you magnificent Bastard' move. Really.

They can use his endorsement to possibly save themselves, or they can announce that they don't need it or accept it. And - now think about this - they all lose and Trump will laugh for days. Do you all get it now?

The Trump endorsement will not save McCain if he is down. It was a last minute smile, nothing more. If anything, he made McCain and Ryan look like anti-party pigs.


McCain’s primary is not until August 30th.

He’s come too far to let the GOPe thugs undercut him and drag his numbers down. He’s moving on. He wants to WIN Wisconsin.


Trump is NOT going to win Wisconsin without full support from Walker & Ryan. There is ZERO evidence that is forthcoming.

Glad you picked up on it also. I never miss any of Trumps Rallies, and the energy was not there today in Iowa. He knew he was going to do somethingthat was ccompletely antithetical to his being. However it was a small token. It also shows the Man knows how to Win.
He needs to Win first. After that he will have the Power, and do what he really wants.
Go Trump

Lodi WE CANT give up on LYIN RYAN losing!!!


Yeah, I really don’t want to be a negative nellie but Nehlen is loooooooong shot. Ryan is a sitting Speaker. Huge cache for his district. No way they dump him, IMO.

I was probably the first poster to back Trump a year ago. I caught h3ll for it. I will vote for Trump no matter what.

I just hope he used his own deal making ability to get something out of this. I would like to see Ryan come out against amnesty and talk about funding the wall. Less than that and I think Trump got rooked.

It is early so in the long run this is not going to matter but it is clear he is now getting "advice".

Ryan literally just threw him under the bus yesterday and days before at a Koch Brothers fundraiser. You don’t get more establishment than Paul Ryan. Even the MSM were pointing out that Trump and Nehlen agree on most issues and that Ryan and Trump don’t even agree on 80% of things.
