The 15,000 hardworking Americans who have been screwed by Ryan who will turn out for Trump won’t miss him.

I honestly see no other rational course of action.

Continuing to support the GOP in it’s current for will not advance any conservative goals.

So be it.

You got it! Let him get the votes he wanted from Democrats — I am assuming that is why he pandered to Obama on the budget and funded Planned Parenthood, Obamacare and every other thing that has destroyed the hopes and plans and funds of this country!!!!

This event is on Friday & the primary for Ryan is next Tuesday. I think this hurts Ryan; however, if he did show up, he’d be recognized by the pro-Trump folks as a two-faced hypocrite so that probably wouldn’t be so good either. Personally, I think it’s better if they don’t pollute Trump’s event. The media/’Rats want you to think Trump can’t win without them .... he needs the ‘normal’ common people to win, not the elite globalist Obama-enabling scum who have betrayed ‘we the people’ again and again.

Trump should invite Nehlen to appear on stage with him. I know Green Bay isn’t in the district but it would make GOPe and media heads explode all over the country.

Yrumpsters don’t fall for this .MJS is pulling your chain The Green Bay rally was a kind of spur of the moment decision. Both of them had previous committments. Walker un fact made it a point to explaun that he will attend other Trump rallys. MJS might have that in their 4th paragraph of the story

Uh, why would anyone expect them to be there? The local pols often don’t show up to his (or even Hillary’s) events. Big deal. I’m especially glad Ryan won’t be there. It would be strange if he were.

Forget them. Hillary is the enemy. I think Gov.Scott endorsed Trump soon after the primaries. I know many didn’t like it, but Reagan always endorsed incumbent Republicans, or at least kept his mouth shut

“Walker un fact made it a point to explaun that he will attend other Trump rallys”

Not so fast :

“Walker campaign spokesman Joe Fadness left open the possibility the governor would attend future Trump events. Walker spoke at a Waukesha rally last week with Pence.

“As always, Governor Walker will participate in future political events for Mr. Trump provided they don’t interfere with his work for the citizens of Wisconsin , as he did when Governor Pence visited Waukesha a week ago,” Fadness said in a statement.”

Weasel words: “provided they don’t interfere with his work for the citizens of Wisconsin”

So there’s his out. That phrase is not much of a commitment. Walker’s trying to in typical politician fashion have it both ways.

Not to worry. Wait till the primary is over—no one gets anywhere attacking those that are voting for them. Trump gets masses of humanity at his rallies. At least they aren’t as bad as TBR people——eeee gads are they awful.

The GOPe are revealing themselves as child like pouters with no principles and one goal - to stay on the public dole gravy train by going along (with Dems) to get along.

The two top 'conservative' mouthpieces for the Biggest Stick in the State, Charlie Sykes and Jeff Wagner are all in to destroy Donald Trump. They prefer the status quo.

They both talk a good game, happily buzzing like gnats around the likes of John T. Chisholm and Tom Barrett so long as nothing actually gets done.

In theory, both commentators are acutely aware of the hazards of another Clinton presidency yet can't seem to get past Trump's lack of decorum! Their call screeners block any contrary opinions, making it sound as though the whole state is in lockstep agreement with them. DJT has his work cut out for him in Wisconsin. He eff'ed up with his war of words with Scott Walker. The Donald should have widened the bridge instead of burning it down.

My $0.02, YMMV . . .

“Let me just remind folks that Wisconsin is one of the states Trump is counting on winning.”

I wouldn’t say “counting on.” He obviously hopes to win the state or he wouldn’t even be going there, but there are several more likely scenarios for a Trump win without WI than there are scenarios that require it.

I think FL+OH+PA, FL+OH+VA+1 more swing state, or FL+OH+NV+NH+IA are all more likely, among several other possibilities. Obviously, though, more pathways to the presidency would open up for Trump if he could pull out a surprise victory in WI. I do think Walker’s on our side now but I agree there are too many Republicans fighting Trump in the state (and implicitly helping Hillary), so he probably won’t win it.

(Who are these people complaining about Trump wanting a screaming baby taken outside? They must be the inconsiderate types who let their children run around restaurants yelling and fighting and ruining other people’s meals. Of all the asinine things to attack Trump over.)

Hopefully Trump “repays” Ryan by make a full endorsement of his primary opponent at the rally....

No, because then he winds up hitching his wagon to Nehlen's star. Also, Trump needs ammunition left in his weapon. The job is to win, NOT to massage anybody's ego. Trump may make it look like he's massaging egos, but that is a negotiating tactic in his case.

I hope to hear Trump ask the audience if Lying Ryan could explain how he turned over 400 million dollars to Obama to ship to Iran in cash.

Note to Newt.

8 4 2016

Newt, Love ya’, man. Those of us who support Trump are pleased that you have been vocal in YOUR support for him.

You may recall that I served as a panelist at your 1990 debate with David Worley. You were kind enough to remark that I would make a formidable candidate if I were to run for office. I was so flattered by your comment that I posted the audio to YouTube here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIo8FJJMps8.

I did briefly toy with the idea but laid down until the sensation went away.

I’m writing to ask if you can help me understand your recent comment surrounding Trump’s failure — so far — to endorse PAUL RYAN’s re-election. During your remarks, you stated that Ryan was a “problem solver” and one of the best Speakers we have had.

My question: So far as many of us out here in Flyover Country can tell, with SOME few exceptions, the only problems Ryan has solved were those of the arrogant and dangerous Marxist gaggle currently infesting the White House and the radical fellow travelers (mostly muslim and/or muslim sympathizers and enablers) he has installed in critical national security related positions in an “administration” that looks for all the world more like an intentional series of Reischstag Fires.

Awaiting your reply in hopes you can give us out here among the “great unwashed” reasons why we should stop referring to Paul Ryan as “Vidkun Quisling”.

Regards,
DB
PS: Next time you speak to The Donald, please urge him to stay on message, keep hammering the serial felon opposing him and to leave the hatchet jobs and dirty work to others.
