ANALYSIS: Paul Ryan Battling Donald Trump for Soul of Republican Party
CNN ^ | 05/06/2016 | Rick Klein

Donald Trump has used tweets to insult women and ethnic groups, and to drive news cycles over everything from his late-night TV choices to his midday food options.

But he escalated his feud this morning with House Speaker Paul Ryan in a profound way, with implications and ramifications that extend far beyond November.

“Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!”

On a basic level, Trump is right. He stands now as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because of millions of the Republican Party’s own voters, and in spite of, almost to a man and woman, the party’s leadership.

No

The Republican Party is third party. Has been since they blew off the voters in 2010 and again in 2014 the others who put them into the majority in order to stop Obama the worst president known to man

The Republican Party put Trump where he is by fooling around with our country our laws our future our identity and our kids’ future. Our legacy.

The pundits can dream today of Ryan being equal to or in the same league with or in the same realm as Trump, but tomorrow we will see that it is the Republican Party that is third party by their own choosing by not considering the power and the will of the voters who give them power

They can join Trump or go away. He owes them nothing. We owe them nothing

If you do not have your constituents, you do not have a party.

As far as I can see, the “soul” of the republican party has been for many years, the neo-con artists and their open-borders toadies. In other words, the party had no soul, just greed and warmongering.

Well, I predict that this fact will make the difference.

The most voters in GOP history are going to put Donald Trump well over the top as the nominee. The most voters to EVER vote for any individual through the GOP Presidential Primary for president.

And they did in a field of 17 candidates.

Think about that.

There is a message being sent loud and clear and Ryan better heed it, or his opponent in his own GOP Primary who is proudly stating he will support Trump, may well upend the new speaker.

These folks don’t listen to millions of their constituents. Their ears are tuned to the few that provide the $$$.

The Cheap Labor Express is not going to just give up.
They have spent millions buying the GOP, they are not going to let the citizens just take it back.
