Can this progressive ironworker (and his mustache) swipe Paul Ryan's seat?

It could almost be worth sacrificing this seat to get rid of Ryan.

Hate to admit it but the same thought crossed my mind, it sucks when you have to think like that.

The conservative opposing Ryan is my preference.

A (cough, cough) Ryan in the Congress is better than an America-hating Dem/progressive/Marxist.

I will agree with you if his colleagues could find the will to replace him as speaker. Let him warm the back benches.

You nailed it. They handed POS Obama the election.

And we can’t forget W. He never defended himself, was hugging Hitlery at Nancy Reagan’s funeral, etc. and Bush 41 kissing up to Clinton and Obama. It goes on and on....

I know. He is so repugnant, deceitfully working for the other side. It would be worth it to vote for the Dem, just to knock off the arrogant snot.

Short answer is... Nope he won’t.. But the left will spend a fortune trying to... So let them try

What has Ryan ever done for us? I mean ever? He has stabbed conservatives in the back every single chance he gets. He fought as hard as he could to stop Trump.

Hell, just a day or two ago he attacked him hard about the tweeting.

Ryans main accomplishment seems to be explaining how much he dislikes Trump. I have no use for him and hope he loses.

To make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs. Ryan must go.

"Paul Nehlen has already announced"

Some knowledgeable Wisconsin Freepers have posted that Paul Nehlen is not a player (at least at this point in time). A year ago he had a miserable showing (roughly 20%). The voters in that district are RINOs.

I suspect the reason Eddie Munster was made speaker of the house is because the GOPe honchos figured Ryan's district was safe, unlike Cantor's. They didn't want a repeat of that.

If Nehlen had been competitive, say 45% or so, it might be a different story.

It's a mid term election. I don't see why other republicans would lose seats. But, that's why I'm asking.

I voted for Trump. He promised to drain the swamp and back stabber Paul Ryan is the slimiest bottom dweller of all as far as I'm concerned.

The only problem is we don’t know who would replace him. We longed for Boehner to go and look what we got. If we could know his replacement would be an upgrade then sure.

I support removing Ryan from speakership.

I support primarying him out and replacing him in congress with another Republican.

We should never ever support a Marxist or even a Democrst for House or Senate. Ever.

That was then, when he admittedly says he started too late, and this is now that Ryan has a real track record of lying as a speaker whose party also have the Senate and the White House.

Nobody expected David Brat to come anywhere close to Cantor either.

"...Democrat Randy Bryce, who is running in Wisconsin, has been described as ‘genetically engineered from a Bruce Springsteen song’..."

Well. I don't doubt that for a second, looking at his union thug face...knowing what a liberal anti-American turd Springsteen is, that looks just about right.

That’s right. Maybe this low life Progressive will do it.

He could be Stalin, Hitler and Mao all rolled into one and it would still be worth it to support him, if it rids us of Ryan.

Yep, the whole party is infected with these bugs. Give it time though, give it time. I grew up in New York city and knew Trump since the 1970s, met him a lot of times. Very very down to earth guy, like anybody else the only difference is He NEVER loses. Even when it looks like he loses, he still wins. When he says he is going to “drain the swamp” believe me - That swamp is not only getting drained, it’s also getting scrubbed and bleached. While his enemies are playing checkers, he is playing 4D chess.

The guy just utterly obliterated a major TV network for Gods sake. That was all planned by the way, he set that all up, got all the required people involved and absolutely nuked CNN, that abomination of a station, they walked right into it and he’s barely 6 months in!!!

Anyway, one of my first jobs when I was a teenager was sweeping up his construction sites on weekends and he would personally bring us egg sandwiches and coffee although I refused the coffee and he would ask about our families and I would be a dick and say “fine” and walk away. I remember him asking me if I was cold and being the tough guy I said no even though I was freezing my ass off. That was in Queens NY doing some construction for his dad. I was use to it though, I belonged to this insane Boy Scout troop and we use to canoe down the Delaware in April and basically freeze half to death. But I didn’t know who the hell Trump was at the time, nobody knew. He only got famous in the 1980s.

That’s good stuff.....and encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

I like the way he talks. He can use that ‘street fighter’, “I’m gonna kick your ass” lingo.
