Trump endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan; Expresses support for McCain and Ayotte...
“As an Arizonan, I’m insulted and beaten down by outsiders who want to run our lives.”
As an Arizonan, I want to see McCain flushed down the Electoral Toilet Bowl...
Look at Ryan’s twitter. Not ONE pro-Trump tweet. You would never know there is a POTUS election based on what Ryan says on twitter.

Trump is not alone he has a huge swath of the invisible ignored Americans behind him.
I have actually tried to look at this thing Biblically. Think of the improbability of Trump being where he is now. Think of how his campaign has given voice to all the souls across the country that have felt betrayed. Think of Trump as a strangely flawed person with absolutely no experience in politics... none.
Isn't this the exact type of individual God works through? Should we not begin to see God's hand in all this. If God isn't working this... how did Trump get this far?
Look at how the charlatan - not to mention names - and the establishment liars were all laid bare. I don't know if Trump is going to win or whether God's 'Will' is simply that we learn from this. But this certainly has a Biblical lesson unfolding.
Reagan approach: 80/20.
“It’s a strategic move, nothing more. He is the bigger man. Now, no one can blame him for their possible primary defeat. Another beautiful move by Trump.”
Yup its a Brilliant move I tell you. Absolutely Brilliant!
Sounds like a broken record I have heard played before. The only thing is that in the end it always led to heartbreak and betrayal.
Interesting gesture. Doesn’t mean the idiot will win his district. Furthermore, the idiot has no political justification to fight Trump’s election.
Well said!
If Trump wants to be in charge he needs to be ruthless. That wasn’t ruthless and will emboldened asshats like Ryan.
WRONG!.....YOU ARE SO WRONG!
So let’s hear them all bad mouth Trump now.
You have a point there. How can any of those #Ne'er–do–wells even consider voting for Ryan now! (And the same principle should hold true for Insane McCainiac too!) What a magnificent strategy! Sheer genius!
(But in case that scenario doesn't quite pan out the way we want it to, I guess we will have to endure our painful disappointment, and that huge "let-down" feeling, and look to the main goal of defeating the following monster.)
Crazy Rotten Criminal
Wow! SMH
Trump is wrong, don’t blame me for his stupid mistakes!
My last comment on this. If Trump wants people to do the “right thing” and vote for him. Then he should have support Ryans opponent... The underdog who is in the exact same position that Trump has been in. The underdog who is trying to fix what is wrong. If he wants to change a corrupt system then this is really not the way to show it or do it. Trump isn’t changing anything as long as the likes of Ryan are controlling congress. And Trump should be bright enough to know that.
Party politics is a complicated thing. Political parties are coalitions to win elections. That’s all. Trump needed to do this, even though EVERYONE knows what it is. It’s not going to change anything in these elections. Let’s see if the Party holds up their end.
If we want “normal” people to run for congress then this sends a bad signal. Yo get close then wham thrown under the bus.
Trump made his decision based on some other practical reason(s). IMO, Ryan's "global masters" reward him very well and the endorsement just will not have such far reaching leverage. Further, given Ryan publicly violated his pledge of support, I doubt Trump even thought in such terms.
I will give you credit, however, if Ryan continues as Speaker and fully supports Trump's agenda during his terms in office.
Paul Ryan bashed Trump this morning!
“I’m not going to go into the hypothetical,” Ryan said, repeating that his endorsement of Trump is not a “blank check.”
He acknowledged, though, that there could be a point at which he withdraws his endorsement of Trump. But he declined to say what might make him rescind his support.
“If I hear things that I think distort conservatism, that disfigure our values ... I’m going to defend ourselves so people in this country don’t get a misperception about who we are and what we believe in,” he said. “I’ve had to do that from time to time, certainly more than I’ve wanted to.”
He mentioned his defense of the parents of a slain Muslim US soldier, with whom Trump started a feud after the soldier’s father denounced him at the Democratic National Convention.

We dont have to like it for it to be true, but if he didn’t endorse Ryan and Ryan won, he’d lose party support.
Not everyone is a FReeper. Plenty of weak republian voters out there and we dont have to like them, but we need their votes to win.
