“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!”

Trump said it well.

He has the support of millions of Republican voters. That should count for something.

When a company disdains its real owners, the shareholders, and company management runs it for the exclusive benefit of the managers, then it’s time for shareholders to enlist an outside white knight to conduct a hostile takeover, and purge those managers.

When a party leadership has contempt for the registered Republicans, and run the party to facilitate their own insider deal making, it is similarly time for them to be turned out.

Ryan’s an idiot who’s probably just realized that he insulted his new boss. He’s got about ten minutes to get his head right before President Trump arrives with the gloves off.

Paul Ryan Battling Donald Trump for Soul of Republican Party
******************************

Ryan knows that the GOP sold its soul to the Cheap Labor Express years ago.
He is one of the bought ones.
He needs to be Cantorized before he can give the country away.

Newt Gingrich may have made the most insightful observation so far, as reported on the Fox Radio web site:
"“I don’t think of Trump as a traditional conservative but I think what Trump is, is an anti-left, anti-political correctness, anti-stupidity American nationalist. I think he may do more to break up the left than any conservative in our lifetime except maybe Reagan.” - -Newt Gingrich on if Trump is a conservative
Further, prior to the 2012 election fiasco involving the Romney candidacy, one of my own posts here on FreeRepublic was as follows:
"Romney will lose to Obama, because he fits right into the narrative of the so-called "progressives" and becomes their perfect opponent.

If these "GOP establishment" types, using the Left's tactics, force a Romney candidacy, then they must be held accountable for the consequences, including the loss of liberty for their posterity.

The Fall campaign will be a battle of ideas. Romney is no ideas warrior.

Obama understands the foundations of his ideology, and he understands how to frame those ideas in a manner that is misleading and appealing to those whom he wishes to enslave to government.

Romney shows no capacity for understanding nor articulating the ideas essential to liberty, and the way he frames what he does understand does not excite passion.

Oh, how we need a Jefferson or an Adams!

Sadly, that prediction proved to be true.

Even sadder, however, is the fact that now, in the Year 2016, the very man who failed to inspire America's citizens to reject the false ideas of progressive oppression and political correctness, along with his running mate who, likewise, did not use his elected office to effectively stop the Obama programs to degrade our freedom--those two men now reject the consequences they and the rest of the GOP-E brought about.

Gingrich, in his comments (above), may be on to something. Perhaps "the People's" visceral reaction to the loss of freedom and national standing their elected GOP representatives and Senators allowed to happen has become so strong that, without focusing on the philosophical ideas underlying that freedom, they chose a potential nominee who will shake up the status quo and force their representatives to bend their will to that of their bosses, "the People," just as the Founders and Framers of the Constitution intended.

Ryno had a meeting with big donors last week. This stand of his is the result.

That was actually fairly written.

Trump will win. Ryan or not.

tweets to insult women and ethnic groups...


Right out of the box the writer kicked off the piece with a lie. Trump has battled certain women over time - but not insulted all women or women as a group. He has not insulted any ethnic group.

Stopped reading right there. Kick it off with a big fat lie and that is what you can expect from the whole thing.

Who are these guys who think they can tell party voters what up?

Ryan - Not a Republican
Jeb - Not a Republican
George HW = Not a Republican
George W - Not a Republican
George Will - Not a Republican
Bill Kristol Not a Republican
Dick Cheney - Republican!
Lindsey Graham - Not a Republican
Romney - Mormon god - Not a Republican
McCain - Republican

Who the F are these pansies who think that they can be part of the GOP, yet not support the candidate the vast majority of voters picked?

It’s very simple. If pledges are in vogue - you either support the nominee, presumed to be Trump, or you are out of the party. Sign the pledge or not. Ryan has one choice - sign the pledge or resign your post as Speaker of the House, because you’re not a Republican.

This is how it works. In or out. Who gives a damn which for most - but if you’re in elected office, and took help directly or indirectly from the GOP to get there - you’re out if you don’t support the nominee.

This isn’t that hard. Priebus? Are you in or out?
