Ryan: House Republicans should vote 'conscience' on Trump
CNN ^ | June 17, 2016 | Eugene Scott

Posted on 06/18/2016 9:29:41 AM PDT by Pinkbell

Washington (CNN)Speaker Paul Ryan said House Republicans should not betray their conscience when it comes to backing their party's presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.

"The last thing I would do is tell anybody to do something that's contrary to their conscience. Of course I wouldn't do that," he told NBC News' Chuck Todd in an upcoming episode of "Meet the Press" airing Sunday.

"Look, believe me, Chuck. I get that this is a very strange situation. He's a very unique nominee," Ryan added. "But I feel as a responsibility institutionally as the Speaker of the House that I should not be leading some chasm in the middle of our party. Because you know what I know that'll do? That'll definitely knock us out of the White House."

To be totally fair: those debates were Romney/Ryan vs Obama/Biden and their media allies.

It’s hard to debate when the moderators are on the other guy’s side.

The correct term for Paul Ryan is “Speaker of the Louse”. Where is Newt when you need him?

Hey Speaker Ryan, I always vote my conscience. That's why I did not vote for Romney in 2012. Despite earning the GOP nomination, he was too liberal for me.

And in context with BOTH sides attacking Trump hes doing great so your math means absolutely nothing in context. Besides smart people do not buy obviously bogus push polls.

We have to defeat them somehow but remember Trump is running against

Media

Dems

GOP leadership by and large

And 43-45 percent of electorate..,,a majority minority voting block will vote for the left and grievance identity

Muslims vote 77% democrat and the hate our traditions

Our Christendom

just like the left

Don’t I know it!

We are going to end up, through the likes of Paul Ryan, with a one-party state. But Ryan will end up in his plush gated community before he decamps to Singapore.

You should always trust the media and their polls. They would never lie or be biased.

Andy Jackson would have horse whipped Paul Ryan because the vile little bag of excrement isn’t worthy of a bullet.

Wikipedia on Kemp:

“Kemp had a reputation as the highest-profile progressive Republican.”

Paul Ryan is his protege. Explains a lot, IMO.

Maybe Ryan & the RINOs should find a new tailor?

The spandex suit Professor Teufelsdröckh made for them seems to be cutting off the blood supply to their little heads.... and their brains!
