Paul Ryan will no longer campaign with Donald Trump

Posted on 10/10/2016 12:01:42 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Speaker Paul Ryan told House Republicans Monday that he won’t campaign with — or defend — Donald Trump and he urged his members to “do what’s best for you” in the month left before Election Day.

In a stinging rebuke to his party’s presidential nominee, the nation’s top elected Republican told fellow GOP members in a conference call that protecting the party’s House majority must be their priority going forward.

“The speaker is going to spend the next month focused entirely on protecting our congressional majorities,” Ryan’s spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in a statement.

During the call, Ryan said he “won’t defend Trump” or otherwise campaign for him between now and Election Day – telling Republicans in Congress to “do what’s best for you,” according to CNN.

Ryan did not say Monday whether he was reversing his endorsement of Trump.

Another spokesman for the Speaker, Zack Roday, said there is “no update in his position at this time.”

A person who listened to the call told CNN the reaction wasn’t entirely positive — and that Ryan’s comments angered some GOP members who believed he was effectively conceding the presidential contest to Hillary Clinton.

If Paul Ryan is seated again as Speaker of the House in January, every Republican that votes for him must be targeted at the primary level. As must Ryan the Rat himself.

I know different context etc.

Just joking around.......

If I were in Ryan's district, I'd vote for the Democrat/Commie.
If I were the Democrat/Commie candidate I'd reach out to the Republican voters and acknowledge the ideological differences but say that at least I wasn't a backstabber, and if they didn't like my service over the next two years, they could vote for someone else the next time.

Paul Ryan will no longer campaign with Donald Trump

In other news, Paul Ryno is taking his ball and going home. His Mommy says it's OK.

In other news, Speaker Ryan has announced that the US will continue to run annual trillion dollar deficits so that Hillary Clinton and her cronies can continue to live the lavish lifestyle to which they have become accustomed if she is elected president.

Meanwhile, an employee at one of Donald Trump’s properties had a car towed out of a no parking zone. Proving once again, that Donald Trump is unfit to be president.

Lots of busy signals in Ryan’s office phones. Apparently he’s hearing from voters who aren’t really supportive of his endorsement of Hillary (by shunning Trump).

Paul Weasel Rino operates on the false idea non dems have

Ryan doesn’t care. Another FU and rejection of the will of the people.

Paul Ryan, he is so yesterday. That’s why the House leadership is trying to change rules for electing a speaker.

Ryan is controlled —bought and owned—by the psychopathic sodomites and this is ALL planned—prior to when the Donald gained the nomination. They have to flip Good and Evil-—destroy ANYONE WHO DARES SAY THE TRUTH.

Trump is as easily destroyed as ANYONE (a little less so because of his money) since the sodomites have complete control of MSM and NSA spy system—”Patriot” act—LOLOLOLOL of over 10 years.....set up to do just THIS, so they can get TOTAL control of EVERYTHING YOU “think”........Trump is fighting the Satanists and they are so close at controlling every single child’s mind to make them ALL into satanists-—debauched, immoral people who are easily controlled and BRIBED like Paul Ryan—just an evil puppet.

The criminals who sold out America for the last 60 years are desperate to destroy Christianity and end the minds which created the Age of Reason and the Constitution of the USA.

They want dumb, brainwashed slaves for the corporations/State.

There is a mail campaign from Make America Great Again Committee. I do not want the RNC getting my donation. Anybody know if this is the way to go or should I go to his website?

Great question. I donated through the Trump website. I hope that the RNC doesn’t see a penny of it. I would appreciate some input on this as I plan to make another donation next time I get $paid$.
