Surreal. I noticed it first when Amnesty was literally hours from passing in 2014. The only thing delaying scheduling of the House vote (and the votes were there), was Eric Cantor’s pesky Primary...and the rest was history.
And then Trump shows up, just as the GOPe was again about to give the country away to the left.
And then Mr. Ryan runs into a buzz-saw of an opponent, forcing him to fight for his political career and act like a conservative for one of the few times in his life.
I've donated to Paul N., and praying for his success !
I think there are a few constant patriots in the upper echelons of the GOP, and they have jumped on the Trump train.
I’m thinking of Rudy and Sessions here.
Maybe some others have been playing the crooked game they have to play but want, and at last see a way out in Trump. Maybe Priebus and Christie are in that group.
A much larger group simply wish this Trumpnado would blow over so they can get back to getting rich selling the rubes “conservatism” while they ship our jobs overseas and flood the domestic market with low wage illegals. They praise Trump when they have to and work against him when they can. That’s Lyin’ Ryan.
Trump didn’t win the nomination, he conducted a hostile takeover. He’s going to need to clean house, and wouldn’t it be nice if the GOP electorate would lend a hand and finally throw the “bring home the pork” bums like Ryan out?
