Ryan: Whether to support Trump or not is up to delegates
Washington Examiner ^ | June 19, 2016 | John Siciliano

Posted on 06/19/2016 12:53:39 PM PDT by Pinkbell

House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., says he has no influence over Republican convention delegates' decisions on whether to change their minds about supporting Donald Trump.

Ryan, who endorsed Trump earlier this month, is the convention's chairman. But he told NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd, "It is not my job to tell delegates to do, what not to do, or to weigh in on things like that. They write the rules. They make their decisions."

Asked for his opinion on the matter, Ryan said, "My opinion is not relevant here."

Trump reaffirmed Sunday that he can win the presidency whether the Republican Party gets behind his candidacy or not.

That's it! Trump needs to have him removed as convention chair. This guy is working for the Democrats!

That #NeverTrump weasel Bill Kristol considers this a victory. Of course he's delusional, and in the rare case they pull this off, I will not vote for their candidate. I don't believe they will, but if they do, I will write in Trump (as will most who voted for Trump I assume).

For our Wisconsin FReepers in the Ryan district or if you know ANYONE who lives in the district, VOTE NEHLEN! Cantor this guy!

Hellary is actively couting #NeverTrumpers. Perhaps Trump should actively court #FeelinTheBern morons.

“Ryan is Brutus to Trump’s Caesar. Ryan funded everything for Obama with the Omnibus bill, and he’s looking for ways to take out Mr. Trump.”

Paul Nehlen (today on Twitter)

He also posted a video of Ryan schmoozing with Clinton:

You have to hand it to The Donald. He has exposed the elitists an RINOs for what they really are.

If Paul Ryan got terminal and horrendously painful pancreatic cancer, it would still be too good for him.

So in Ryan’s opinion the voters have no say in the matter. Only the delegates and they can go by their conscience. This idiot needs to be gone.

That son of a blank....

He’s only the Speaker of the House, among the highest ranking Republicans in this country. He’s only the chairman of the Republican convention.

But then he’s going to sit there and say, well, he has no influence over the convention or what the delegates choose to do. Give me a break!!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder if these people really enjoy insulting our intelligence...................

Ryan is just a BSer.

If he thought there needed to be another choice, the assclown should have run. He would have been embarrassed like the rest of the GOPe candidates.

All I can say is that if the delegates don’t vote on the first ballot at the convention based on the voters’ choice, the Republican Party will never recover, and Hillary Clinton will be elected President.

I watched a “Bizarre Foods” with Andrew Zimmern in St. Petersburg, Russia and there was nothing bizarre about it. Everything was delicious and he had a blast.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict the effort to prevent Trump the nomination will be massive. Almost all the GOPe sound like they’re trying to build plausible deniability. It’s sounding like it’s gonna work exactly like Congress works. Figure out who can outwardly defy Trump while suffering minimal damage, while the rattlesnakes and polecats work behind the scenes try to keep their hands clean. If they do as I think then their will be a monumental political reckoning. At least I hope so.

Ryan may end up being Hillary’s running mate.

Just had a quick look at your posting history; you are indeed an anti-Trump troll. You take great care in posting as many negative Trump pieces you can find...even if it means citing nor to try and make your point. You provide yourself cover by simply claiming “concern.”

You sir are troll! My guess is you are still suffering butt- hurt over Mr. Haney’s humiliating loss.

You aren’t fooling anybody.
