Today I was extended an invitation by the Donald Trump campaign to join his team in the VIP room prior to Mr. Trump’s rally. I accepted the campaign’s invitation and drove to Green Bay.
Just like any member of the public invited to the Trump rally, I also had a ticket I registered for online which granted me access to the rally.
I was happy to attend the rally, even in the face of reports that Mr. Trump would endorse Speaker Ryan, because I believe Mr. Trump understands that we must have all hands on deck in order to roll back 8 years of Barack Obama and prevent Hillary from continuing his legacy.
Sadly, it quickly became apparent that Speaker Ryan and the Wisconsin GOP are not the least bit interested in party unity, or, it seems, defeating Hillary Clinton, but rather, are focused on maintaining their iron-grip on power for power’s sake.
To that point, Speaker Ryan and Wisconsin GOP leaders loudly refused to attend Mr. Trump’s rally!
Upon arriving at the rally, my team and I were intercepted by a phalanx of Wisconsin GOP staffers working on behalf of Speaker Ryan and Reince Priebus.
I made it through security when one of the GOP phalanx wearing loafers and a blazer chased me down and informed the police that I was not allowed into the rally.
The GOP staffer then escorted me back outside the security perimeter to the lobby, where another Republican staffer told me and the officers I was to wait for one of their fellow GOP staffers to come and tell me what was going on.
It quickly became clear they were never going to send another staffer to tell me what was going on.
The obvious reality was that they just didn’t want Speaker Ryan’s challenger to be seen in the building supporting Mr. Trump.
I was then told by the staffers that I was going to have to exit the building.
My takeaway from this experience was this: The Wisconsin GOP is petrified.
They are petrified that 83 percent of the vote in the presidential primary went to the two outsider candidates. They’re petrified that the people in Wisconsin have had enough of their corruption and cronyism – of the GOP selling Wisconsin’s future across the Pacific.
Paul Ryan and his Wisconsin GOP henchmen don’t want the good people of Wisconsin to know they have a choice in the primary in Wisconsin’s first Congressional District, and they will do anything to hold onto their levers of power so they can continue to enrich themselves and their donor-class friends by shipping Wisconsin’s jobs overseas and inviting a constant stream of low-paid labor across the border.
That event did not help out Ryan’s cause. And Ryan claims that Trump makes gaffes? There is no way he can put lipstick on that hog. Add that to his flight from the voters last Saturday.
So corrupt. The GOP elite are trying to keep Paul in power. Shows you how valuable he is to Obama/and the globalists. Trump had to play nice or he would have a war on two fronts.
Just keep focus and vote the Rinos out.
Please God let Nehlen win.
Seems like Paul Nehlen gets it.
Rooting for Nehlen.
The corrupt VAGOP tried to save the weasel Eric Cantor.
It did not work out like they thought.
I am hopeful that the spirit of liberty still lingers in the hearts of the voters of Wisconsin 1 despite their state party being part of the Cheap Labor Express.
That RYANO ‘phalanx’ is going to be out of a job next week, maybe they can travel to Washington to start the process of packing up the belongings of that sick pathetic f—k.
All this thuggish behavior from state officials who, even with their Wonder Boy on the 2016 ticket with Romney, could not deliver their electoral votes to the Republican ticket.
The state of Wisconsin is having far too great a voice in the party and far too great a presence in the daily news about the election. They are far more a detriment for the party’s prospects this year than they are an asset.
So bad, so bad. Disgusting.
Trump invited him then endorsed Ryan at the rally? It was up to Trump to make sure Nehlan got in as I understand it. Nehlan not being allowed in hurts Trump. Did Nehlan hit back by showing up knowing he would not be allowed in? Or did he show up knowing his supporters would boo when Trump endorsed Ryan? In fact, did Trump’s people join with the Wisconsin GOP in stopping Nehlan from getting in because Trump didn’t want Nehlan’s supporters from booing?
The GOP is in control of the Trump campaign. Let’s face it. Trump loves his money and wants to be reimbursed. So, the GOP told him he’ll never get a dime from them unless he starts doing things their way. The first cave was to pick Pence.
However, I still suspect that Trump is another Perot. Once he gets up in the polls he says or does something stupid, such as endorsing Ryan and sticking it to Nehlan, thus sticking it to his supporters, so there is a reason for his poll numbers to drop. We constantly hear about how smart Trump is. And we believe it. Then why does he say stupid things just when he shouldn’t?
No one needs to get too excited about this. I have a feeling us Trump supporters are going to be just as depressed as the Cruz supporters, and the Sanders supporters, when it’s all over.
Oh, and by the way, Ryan is saying he might pull his endorsement of Trump.
The corruption is fighting for it's life.
Trump for President.
I believe this report and I think Trump made a big mistake.
Isn’t this guy the one who loudly called for the deportation of all muslins in the US including citizens? If so, the rest of his spiel is just self-serving.
WI, Cantorize your weasel, Lyin Ryan!
EXACTLY why we have dropped out of the republican party and will vote on Tuesday, and in all future elections as independents. Previously, my wife and I made contributions to the republican party, NO LONGER. The entire group has failed to represent those of us who previously supported conservative values side with our money but NO LONGER will they get a penny from us. Claiming that the DNC was bad, the rino’s have shown to be cut from the same cloth and kicking Nehlen out of that rally proves it.
Nice guys. /s
“Trump went on to endorse Speaker Ryan at the rally, as well as Arizona Sen. John McCain and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte in their respective primaries.”
That kind of sucks.
