Ryan rebellion: Paul under siege on own Facebook page
WND ^ | 8/3/2016 | LEO HOHMANN

If House Speaker Paul Ryan’s own Facebook page is any indication of how well he will fare in next Tuesday’s all-important primary race against upstart challenger Paul Nehlen, it might not be smooth sailing for the 16-year incumbent come Election Day.

In fact, Ryan’s campaign is showing signs of “melting down,” at least if social media is to be taken as a barometer. The level of antipathy toward Ryan on his two Facebook sites has been heating up in recent days as the election draws closer.

“There’s such a deluge of comments negative to Paul Ryan on Ryan’s own Facebook site. Ryan’s problems with Trump are also a big factor in the backlash, you can see that in the comments,” said William Gheen, president of Americans for Legal Immigration, or ALIPAC.

ALIPAC launched a new ad campaign earlier this week casting Ryan and “Lyin Ryan,” a politician who supports Obama’s amnesty orders and his expanded refugee resettlement programs, which funnel Shariah-compliant Muslims into more than 200 U.S. cities and towns from Syrian, Afghanistan, Iraq and Somalia by the tens of thousands annually.

The stream of Facebook comments are more than 90 percent negative against Ryan as voters express their disgust with Ryan’s stance on trade and immigration.

Gheen said he noticed this momentum against Ryan started 48 hours after a WND article about Ryan’s pro-refugee stance and the new ad campaign was linked to the Drudge Report.

The GOP primary race for Wisconsin’s first congressional district has come into national focus as Nehlen has shown himself more than capable of taking on the Ryan juggernaut. Ryan started out with a massive lead over the unknown Nehlen, an inventor who has employed hundreds in his successful water-filtration manufacturing business over the years.

If he does lose, he could become very dangerous to legislation during the lame duck session. He, McConnell and Obama could try to push through a lot of unpopular stuff.

He's already incredibly dangerous when it comes to legislation nobody likes.

He'll probably do that anyway.

And? Still plenty of reason to be done with him.

Best thing we can do if we worry about Ryan/McConnell/Hillary is to donate to trump and Donate to FR while we're at it.

If we can't do these two things, we need look at ourselves in the mirror and ask what we really do believe in....

If Ryan thinks we elected all those new Republicans these last eight years so they could back open borders he’s nuts... and that makes him unqualified to hold office.
