Yup. This asshole’s judgement is as bad as Cruz. These two disloyal, unprincipled, unethical, lying, pro-NAFTA, pro-TPP, pro-amnesty pukes should be running as democrats. They hate America.

Ryan has as much chance of getting the Republican nomination as Jeb Bush. Unfortunately for the RINO’s, the Republican base is now looking at performance and leadership. What has Ryan accomplished other than fully funding every program Obama wanted? Has he demonstrated any real opposition leadership? He was elected to a position of leadership but in that position has only demonstrated an ability to take direction from the donor base and party insiders while capitulating to the Democrats.

No doubt his buddy Romney, the Bush family, the other insiders, and the big donors are telling him he can be the man in 2020 if he plays their game by ultimately retracting his faux tepid “endorsement” of Trump. If Ryan has any instincts at all he knows if he walks away from Trump the GOP base won’t nominate him in 2020. However, if he doesn’t publicly and dramatically betray Trump when ordered to do so, the fat cat donors won’t fund his campaign in 2020.

Ryan is caught between the proverbial rock and the hard place. Does he fully endorse the people’s choice with no qualifications or does he stab Trump publicly? Right now he is uncomfortably sitting on the fence. Clearly he does not understand that real leaders don’t sit on the fence. Real leaders do the right thing. Time to choose.

I thought Ryan was either primaried, or soon to be primaried. Mr. Ryan, please, you’ve had your 15 minutes of fame when you lost with Romney. You rolled over for Barry’s budget. You failed to stop ObamaCare as promised. Go home.

He’s being primaried now, by Paul Nehlen. The primary is August 9th.

Ryan is very popular in his district and will easily win his primary.

Remember, it wasn’t his district who named him as his VP or who voted him in as speaker.

Lodge won the ‘64 presidential Primary in New Hampshire as a write in. He came home from Vietnam but never ran as I recall.He had noting to do with his the write in vote and it was a big shock to him as well as everyone else.

The only chance he has of getting the nomination is to run as a Democrat.

He will never get my vote under ANY circumstances.
