The Speaker is unelected by citizens, but elected by Congressmen. The process is murky, but I think any Representative can throw his hat in the ring. I forget who was in the running at the time, but I believe Tom Price (Ga.) was one. I was rooting for Tom at the time, because he had a conservative voting record, but Ryan got the majority somehow. Anyone know more details on how he got in and who he was up against?
I wonder if the Trump company buys single-family homes... ;)”””
Don’t forget that Ryan’s home has a high fence all around it.
I was born & raised in Wisconsin & I can assure you that such fencing was not the norm when I lived there.
Even when I have visited in the past 50 years, I hven’t seen such signs of ‘security.’.
Ryan is certainly afraid of SOMETHING!!!!
Janesville is hardly a dangerous place!!
“Jack Kemp?”
My thoughts exactly ... it’s more like “which of these things is not like the other (from Sesame Street).
And while we’re at it, to the extent that Trump can preserve our country and our union by securing our borders, then one day we’ll be referring to the GOP as the party of Lincoln, Reagan and Trump.
Now there’s as list which potentially might work in a few years (let’s hope).
>>I won it.
Umm. Didn't the people who voted for you do that, Batman?
"TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men; deriving their just powers from the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED"
The people CONSENTED. They can also un-Consent via impeachment if Batman turns this into a populist exercise for feeding his ego and/or oligarchic appetite.
Mr. Manafort can tell him all about how that worked out for Comrade Yanukovych.
Pop goes the Weasel (Ryan), Cause the weasel goes pop.
Donald won. You win elections, nimrod.
Not without the consent of the governed.
See if Manafort can explain how that worked for Comrade Yanukovych in Ukraine.
I have no problem with Yanukovych in Ukraine. If neocon scum hate him then I love him.
DNR!
Trump has never done anything you have suggested or whined about!
Somehow, he keeps winning while ignoring your whining.
Please go advise the Clintoons on how to win!
Very perceptive point by Trump. Glad he didn’t just let “inherited” slide by. I like Trump’s diligence in not letting stuff slide.
DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONSE TO LINDSEY GRAHAM

DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONSE TO LINDSEY GRAHAM
“I fully understand why Lindsey Graham cannot support me. If I got beaten as badly as I beat him, and all the other candidates he endorsed, I would not be able to give my support either. Every time I see Lindsey Graham spew hate during interviews I ask why the media never questions how I single-handedly destroyed his hapless run for President.
As a candidate who did not receive 1% in his own state - compared to my victory at nearly 40% with many others in the race - he has zero credibility. He was a poor representative and an embarrassment to the great people of South Carolina. Judging by the incompetent way he ran his campaign, it is easy to see why his military strategies have failed so badly -— we can’t even beat ISIS!
While I will unify the party, Lindsey Graham has shown himself to be beyond rehabilitation, and like the voters who rejected him, so will I!”

Uhuh. You and Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman are on the same page.
"John David Podesta is the Chairman of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Podesta previously served as Chief of Staff to President Bill Clinton and Counselor to President Barack Obama."
http://www.google.com/#q=Podesta+Obama"In reality, it was closely tied to the party of Viktor Yanukovych and one of his principal financial backers, Sergei Klyuyev. The two firms that got the ECFMU contract are the Podesta Group, which is run by the brother of White House special counselor John Podesta,"

Sucks for the neocons.
We are seeing Ryan’s true colors.
