IT BEGINS: Ryan Releases Presidential Ad (How many times has he said no?)
breitbart ^ | 4/7/16

Posted on 04/07/2016 5:29:49 PM PDT by doldrumsforgop

A new video released by House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) 56% has reporters chattering about whether or not it serves as a subtle campaign ad, as his supporters continue to whisper his name as a potential Republican presidential nominee in a brokered convention.

The video features footage from Ryan’s speech calling for a better brand of politics. That talk implicitly criticized Donald Trump’s brand of campaigning.

The video is the latest of a series of web videos produced by his digital communications director Caleb Smith to highlight the Ryan brand of politics.

Smith’s video includes multiple camera angles, a soundtrack, and shots of the audience reaction to the speech, which quickly drew praise from the digital community for its slick production. The video is also raising questions among journalists.

“The first ad of the Ryan 2016 campaign?” asked ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Twitter, sharing the video.

“Sweet campaign ad from the Ryan team,” noted Jacqueline Alemany from CBS News on Twitter after she saw the ad.

“Hmmmm campaign ad?” wondered Paula Faris from ABC News on Twitter.

“Speaker Ryan still not running for president but is making ads 10x stronger than the current candidates,” tweeted ABC News journalist Alex Mallin in response to the ad.

I consider you correct on all of that. The current GOP party must be stricken down.

How to do so is what is at stake. Is it Trump or Cruz?

My hope is it is Cruz, as Trump is a Huey Long wannabe.

Intersting.

If Tump is so un=conservative, then why has Ted adopted so many of Trump’s positions and why has Trump received so many shining endorsements from stalwart established conservatives?

nope, Trump is anti-establishment, but he is no conservative. He is a celebrity who has spun some of the best lines of the campaign, but in no way shape or form can he be called a conservative. He intends to tear down DC and install what? NY Values.

So I then assume that you're okay with the strategy of taking out Trump to insert Ryan? Because every day that looks more and more like what's going to happen. And if you are you're happy that Cruz is lying every day to the people that are voting for him? All because you have a bias against Trump?

In Ford's case, that was because in 1976, a significant number of states did not hold primaries. It was a lot harder to get a majority then. I believe Ford had won the majority of delegates that had been available in primaries and caucuses. Reagan had a lot of support in the grassroots delegations, and in those days, the party elites didn't control the process the way they do now. Bush learned his lesson in 1980, and he set up a system in 1989 that made sure that he and his buddies would never allow a Reagan to win ever again. And that system has worked perfectly. Bush, Bush, Dole, Bush, Bush, McCain, Romney. And we were supposed to get a Bush this time.

Cruz was ok with them, he was supposed to be this years Fred Thompson or Newt, but Trump blew the whole process to kingdom. And now, as a result, Cruz is still standing instead of nursing his wounds from the beating he would have received absent Trump in the race.

Make no mistake if Cruz does not drop out, and continues to be used as a tool to take down Trump, then we will get Establishment/Globalist Rat Boy Paul Ryan.

Cruz supporters wake up and drop out. Cruz will never get a national appeal compared to Trump. Cruz lost the South East, and the Establishment has the dirt on Cruz.

If Cruz is REALLY Anti-Establishment, then he needs to Allie with Trump or the Establishment/Globalist will win.

When a candidate whines about “tone” and “civility,” that tells me that, in office, he will go along to get along.

Which we already know about Ryan, anyway.

Cruz is a globalist Trojan Horse. Check out the authors on that report, you will see a very familiar name.

Trump, for all his flaws, is the only actual pro-American candidate in the race.

those conservatives are mostly interested in shaking the status quo, which Trump excels at. Think Palin, Sessions.

Trump has no social conservatism whatsoever. Unless one has this component, one cannot be a true conservative.

Take a close look at this photo of him with his daughter, including the birds.

Ok if selling casino business, but do we want that as our American role model?

No way the RNC shoves Paul Ryan down our throats in 4 months. He wouldn’t get more than 35% of the votes in the general election. I know I wouldn’t vote for him.

you appear to be drinking the koolaid given out by the National Enquirer.

Cruz is not what those against him attempt to make him.

“Cruz supporters wake up and drop out. Cruz will never get a national appeal compared to Trump. Cruz lost the South East.”

Are you old enough to remember George Corley Wallace who ran for President in ‘68?

He won the Southeast too, and Nixon had the dirt on him as well.

He and Trump have the same appeal. Single issues on both, Wallace on segregation and Trump on illegals.

You underestimate the cravenness and will to power of the establishment.

They don’t care if the party loses, as long as they stay in control of it. They would overwhelmingly prefer to have Clinton elected than to allow someone like Trump to wrest control of the GOP from their grip.

Get involved in your local/county/state GOP, not just as a voter but as a member of clubs and committees and policy boards. You will get a firsthand taste of it that will leave no mistake in your mind that the GOP establishment is every bit as much your enemy as any Democrat.

HA HA So this is why they were so adamant and Quick to Deny that firearms would be allowed at the Ohio convention/

What a mess— then tonight on Breitbart (or was it Drudge) Obama is hinting at a 3rd term — or at least the article’s author is doing the hinting.

There was some talk that Ryan would be primaried — did Wednesday’s election cancel out that idea so now he can move forward on “party business?”

Nah. CRUZ is going to win it. Trump would be a handicap to him.

Ridiculous comparison! This has nothing to do with State laws. You have been psyoped by the Establishment media if you really believe that rubbish.

The borders have been secured by every President from George Washington all the way to Obama.

We are either a country of laws or we are not. It’s just that simple.

I know the cheap labor express does not want to follow the laws. After all they like paying illeagals under the table below minimum law wages. To them it’s all about the money. That is their God. They simplyuse race and emotion to confuse the weak minded.
