Top Republicans believe Paul Ryan will be nominee
Washington Post ^ | 4/4/16 | Mike Allen

Posted on 04/04/2016 6:14:42 AM PDT by Mechanicos

On the eve of the Wisconsin primaries, top Republicans are becoming increasingly vocal about their long-held belief that Speaker Paul Ryan will wind up as the nominee, perhaps on the fourth ballot at a chaotic Cleveland convention.

One of the nation’s best-wired Republicans, with an enviable prediction record for this cycle, sees a 60 percent chance of a convention deadlock and a 90 percent chance that delegates turn to Ryan — ergo, a 54 percent chance that Ryan, who’ll start the third week of July as chairman of the Republican National Convention, will end it as the nominee.

“I am making promise, I will help Hillary campaign to defeat Lying Cruz and any GOP SOB who had endorse Lyin Cruz.”

Then you are saying you're a Democrat - you are looking to support a former one vs. a current one.

Your honesty is refreshing. Looks like we'll get walking mistake either way.

Independent thought - just not that important on 5th ave.

To: Chances Are

Have you not been following the delegate selection process, such as in Arizona, whereby officially Trump committed delegates may actually be Cruz or GOPe supporting—and ready to not only drop Trump as soon as they are unbound, but primed to vote for rules changes before the convention starts that would work against Trump?

Hes a Globalist, which is part of the GOPe. His pushing TPP, Drafting NAFTA, Adding doubling the Syrian Muslims coming in unchecked, adding a 500 percent increase in H1B’s etc .

All the so-called conservative optics are just that, Optics for consumption for marketing purpose. Actions are where you look with professional politicians and he pushed Roberts the Corker bill TPP and would have doubled ISIS in America but for our firing Cantor.

he was not for the wall, he was not for stopping Muslims coming in. He was not for stopping the bad trade agreements. Hes a Globalist yanking your chain.
Voting for safe bills that go nowhere but look good for constituents is a SOP for the DC Insider Lawyers.

And that is where the GOP has it wrong. Voters after this will become their sworn enemies and will come for their hides to deplete their funds and run them out of power.

Maybe some good investigations can put quite a few in jail as well.

“Fact is he donated more to GOP then Dems, but that does not help nominate the Establishment pick.”

Now include the Clinton Foundation and similar organizations.

Anyone looking at Cruz’s resume with the name blacked out would probably find themselves thinking “just another GOP hack”.

“We need a president who will destroy demons rather than work with them.”

Thats not Trump. He has recently spoken well of Reid, Pelosi and crowd.

Apparently RaginRak has a liking for the liberal if he won’t vote for the opponent.

You're given a choice between having an iv with cyanide and strychnine stuck in your arm. You say it doesn't matter to you. According to bert-think, this means you really want the cyanide because you didn't say "I'll have strychnine."

“Ryan is a good choice for the role of Designated Loser. He’s been there before and he’ll do it with style.”

Yep! He was Vice Loser to a fairly accomplished Loser. I guess it is his turn after his 2012 performance.

Cruz is a Globalist who instinctively sided with BLM against cops, would have doubled ISIS in America but for our firing Cantor and has actively worked to destroy our economy with Nafta and TPP.

There is no evidence Trump is lying about what he wants to do, and nobody but our enemy is calling what he wanst to do as bad.

It goes to motivation. Cruz’s is the same as always, Money and power. Trumps is Old age driven: Family and Security for his family.

So now Cruz is responsible for ISIS?

You are truly mental.

Theres no evidence that Trump will do what he says. There is a ton of evidence he won’t do it. He’s always been a liberal.
