Congressman Diaz-Balart, who was also selected by Speaker Ryan, delivered the Spanish-language version of Haley's response. According to a translation provided by the Miami Herald, Diaz-Balart promised that Republicans would work toward "a legislative solution ... to those who live in the shadows" (i.e., amnesty), and would also "modernize the visa system and push the economy forward" (i.e., import even more low-wage guest workers).

Ryan needs to go. Along with any others from the oligarchy that think like this.

Haley admitted she cleared her remarks with the Speaker, who then let it be known that she would be a fine choice for vice president.

Paul Ryan needs to be removed as speaker after his attacks on Trump...

Of course the gop won’t stand down. But I think their strategy will be to undermine the nominee. In actuality what is going on in the rat nomination is very important because that’ll decide if the gop is going to overtly support the rat.

I doubt a overt steal the nomination strategy is in the cards. Evil and kleptocratic as the uniparty are, they won’t risk starting a hot CW II over it.

I like the title “Republican”. Conservatives should
retain it. Why should we be the ones to give in?
Republican = conservative. Let the elites find their
own name like “Neodems”, for example.

The nominee will be someone who is running.

Why is the 30-35% or so of the party that supports Trump any more the "base" of the party than the 60-65% who don't?

It always strikes me as somewhat self-absorbed when someone describes themselves as being "the base".

Will The Republican Establishment Stand Down?

No.

It has to be voted out at the local level.

Will The Republican Establishment Stand Down?

Never. There's so much meaninglessness to attend to.

2016 - First time ever that the opposition response to a SOTU speech has been praised by the sitting President's administration.

Abso-frickin-lutely despicable!

And yet they wonder why Trump and Cruz are the frontrunners and plot to defeat them?
