Paul Ryan said effectively, “would it not be nice if Democrats controlled the Presidency?”

Paul Ryan wanted Hillary to win.

Then Paul Ryan wouldn’t have to lead.

He could still hide, like the snowflake that he is.

Or as some would say, he could lead from behind. Behind what? Whose behind is the Paul Ryan snowflake after?

“Let us never forget the audio of Speaker Paul Ryan on a conference call with House Republicans, where he told them to ditch defending Trump. The Republican leader told members of the U.S. House of Representatives that he was abandoning then GOP presidential nominee, Donald Trump forever.”

“President Hillary Clinton accountable.” According to Ryan, the Republicans had no chance at the White House, so at the very least they should try to retain their House majority.

“Are you [Paul Ryan] crazy? We haven’t held anyone accountable. You haven’t even let us hold the IRS commissioner accountable [for using government power to harm President Obama’s political adversaries],” an astonished Gohmert said to the speaker on a call.

We saw this in action with $30M spent by McConnell to destroy Roy Moore.

They are at the bottom of the CR Liberty Score. Down near McCain. Score: F

Why is it that the GOP leaders are losers?
They are easily controlled. They are GOPe/RINOs.
- Hastert
- Boehner
- Ryan
- McConnell

Our team, GOP, is used to leading from someone elses behind. St. Pauli Girl Ryan said he wanted Hillary as president because he could chase her behind. He is not a leader, just a coaster. Coasting to the next election. “Look at me work out,” he says. “With my hat on backwards, aren’t I hip? Hey, I can share my workout routine with you, and you can be hip, just like me.”

No surprise. The GOP always was NeverTrump and has every intention to get him gone after one term.

If you live in New Orleans you get to see how politics works. Every 4 years the congressmen and senators from Louisiana go to Washington, hat in hand, looking for funding for the levy system. They have ULNO reports that show how one strike could kill the city. And so they ask for funding. But when the funding comes it never actually goes to fixing the levy problem. Sure you get some band-aids. But normally the money is used to raise salaries or for other public works in the city.

Its not shortsightedness that stops the money from going to the intended target. In fact, its farsightedness. The politicians know that if they actually fix the problem, Louisiana won’t get any more funding. So every few years they go back to the budget committee with the same request, and the same report. They play the long game. Never fix a problem that pays federal funding.

We have been living with this game for decades inside the republican party. We care about the deficit. We care about waste. We care about the size of government. But our politicians, even republican politicians don’t.

Now the republican party has a large and growing number of politicians that do care about rightsizing government. Michigan, Indiana and especially Wisconsin did it. But there are RINOs who are gathering money from backers. Those backers don’t want small government they want some of the government largess. Often on the republican side they are military suppliers.

Trump proved one thing. That we don’t really need all that much money to win an election. There are more of us than them. So if there is a cap on the amount of money that is useful, as we just saw in Alabama and Georgia, then we can start to ignore big donors. The message is more important than the money.

However this gives us a new problem. The money has started to act like us. They take our message, smaller government less spending, and forget the message as soon as the election is over. Their message is just an advertisement, not a commitment. We need to ferret out the fakers and support the true conservatives. And its interesting, that the money normally points to fakers, not conservatives. People who collect other peoples money to get elected are not to be trusted. They are selling us out. Fortunately, campaigns are no longer won by those with the most money. There is a limit to money’s effectiveness.

Only Democrat-leaning donors are still giving to the RNC. No real Republican would today.

Meanwhile Trump’s reelection coffers are filling up at record pace.

Donate directly to Trump here

This is Donald J Trump for President PAC. Money goes directly to him.
There is an email sent out regularly that looks the same but at the bottom it says Make America Great Pac in conjunction with GOP.

Make sure you donate to President Trump directly.
