Newt Gingrich Rips Paul Ryan for Trump Non-Endorsement
Breitbart ^ | 5/5/16 | Breitbart

Posted on 05/06/2016 6:30:54 AM PDT by Zenjitsuman

“[I]n the case of Paul Ryan he made a big mistake today and he needs to understand this,” Gingrich said. “He is the Speaker of the House. He has an obligation to unify the party. He has an obligation to reach out. Obviously he and Donald Trump are going to have disagreements. Some of them will work out and some of them they won’t. That’s fine. Our constitution provides that speakers and presidents can fight, but I think he sends the wrong signal and a signal which I think endangers the House Republicans and endangers the Senate Republicans.”

“Trump should give Nehlen (Ryan’s primary opponent) a nice donation.”

IMO, it would be absolutely worth it for Trump to throw and attend a rally for him. It’s time for wet work, down and grisly.

He’s hoping for some convention shenanigans.

Recovery? They should have started “recovery” after Trump swept the South.

The writing was on the wall.

All of this recovery baloney is just an excuse to keep bashing Trump.

Recovery is for whiny people who act like babies.

Ryan has shown who he really is.

I very much hope he loses his primary, and resigns in disgrace immediately thereafter.

He’ll try to pull a Cantor and get a seven figure lobbying job, of course. Let’s hope he fails at that too.

Does anyone have a link to some pictures Ryan took where he was posing “presidential”? My husband said he saw them on the news, but doesn’t know which one. He said they were highly arrogant and very telling about Ryan’s true ambition.

Enough about the swing states and ticket balancing, FRiend, that's GOPe talk! :-)

Fact is, Newt and Trump would be compatible, Newt has expertise Trump lacks, and they would both be great campaigners. The swing states will take care of themselves.

What about the Clinton rapes...

How do you feel about those? Or Hillary running with lies to trash his innocent victims?

There’s a big difference between men who fall in love with women and rapists... and nightmare enablers.

Recent exit polls consistently showed that a majority of GOP primary voters (60% in some states) feel “betrayed” by their leaders. Not just "let down or disappointed." Betrayed. By RINOs who sold out.

Earlier, eager GOP political leaders made promises of all kinds and received major midterm electoral victories that gave them the House, the Senate, 12 governorships and 30 statehouses. Americans gave them every opportunity, to no avail.

"The 2014 Midterm Dem Demolition Derby" and down-ticket state wins have yet to be fully-mined, but this we know:

<><> REPUBLICANS WON STUNNING HISTORY-MAKING ELECTORAL VICTORIES

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals;

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> 110 Of 140 Southern States election districts went Republican.

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><> GOP now controls the MINN State House.

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D

<><> Britt Hume sez: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass.

<><> GOP holds every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses.

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed.

<><> Democrats "War on Women" became a ntl joke.

<><> Clintons labeled politically useless---most candidates they flacked lost.

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> Arizona House recount race went Republican.

<><> AZ Republican McSally wins last open House seat (Dem Gaby Giffords seat),

<><> Repub McSally's win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in AZ congressional delegation,

<><> Repubs hold 247 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman admin after WWII.

<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.

<><> Republicans hold the largest House majority in 83 years.

<><> Republicans holds 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

<><> 2015 Republican grip on state government has not been seen since the 1920s.

<><> Republicans hold or share control in nearly every state (7 states' legislature and Governor are Dem-held).

<><> 12 states, including Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, NC will push income tax cuts and fiscal reform.

<><> Illinois new Repub Governor/s top priority is reforming its nearly-bankrupt public pension system.

<><> Vermont Democrats allied w/ VT conservative Repubs to ward off voter backlash

<><> controversial and seemingly incompetent VT Democrat governor did not get the requisite votes to stay in office.

<><> VT poised to install Vermont/s first Republican governor in over four years

<><> Republicans now control two-thirds of the state legislatures.

======================================

The Republican tsunami did not end in November 2014. Later, Republicans expanded their majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 170th district. Expanding a legislative majority in a blood-red state that twice voted for Barack Obama. 2014 turned into an historic election....for Republicans.

Obama loomed large in Dem defeats.

Daily Caller reports, under Obama, Democrats have lost a net of more than 900 state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 U.S. House and 13 Senate seats. Such numbers suggest a sick party...... Boobamba/s the guy w/ a dream to make a permanent Democrat party using US govt power. Just the opposite happened.

Ryan is also preparing to roll out a separate governing agenda for the fall that his members can run on, a clear sign that he thinks the substance of the 2016 contest does not represent the party he has spent 20 years trying to build.

Would that be the Ryano party?

This is just one more example of how poor the leadership within the Republican party has gotten. It’s their own fault they have a Trump problem in the first place because they were unable to put forth a candidate of their own who could beat him. And there were SIXTEEN other possible choices when this began.

Most, if not all, of the Republicans’ wounds have been self inflicted! It’s time to stop the madness, put down the koolaid, and get on board!!

“I wish I had lived during a period when adultery was considered disqualifying for positions of authority.”

In other words, a second term for Jimmy Carter instead of a first term for Ronald Reagan.

Ryan needs to lose his seat

Hopefully, with the help of Dems and Independents in the primary, he can be Cantorized before November.

I just called Ryan's DC office number to leave a message about how disgusted I am with him. The mailbox is full. Gosh, I wonder why. <^..^>

We can use this against Hillary, big time. The Republican elite they despise support hillary instead of Trump!

Lyin’ Ryan is just another Hillary in the fact he is an enabler; the power he has been given is only due to the men they had alongside on their way up the ladder. Newt is very correct about this misstep on Ryan’s part. How Newt fits into the cabinet of President Donald J. Trump remains to be seen...but he would fill any with competence and experience.

Go Donald Trump!!

I will vote for Trump although his fifth grade level of reasoning and vocabulary is still going to be hard to listen too.

Yeah, being from Missouri Trump's big words must be hard to deal with. ;-)
