Paul Ryan’s Russia position is closer to Clinton’s than Trump’s (also, every other issue)

Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) haven't agreed on much during this presidential campaign. In fact, Ryan has disagreed with the Republican nominee about once a week since he reluctantly endorsed Trump in June.

But perhaps nowhere do the two men diverge more clearly than on Russia.

Trump thinks having a relationship with Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin, could be a "wonderful thing." In a military-focused forum hosted by NBC on Wednesday, Trump even defended Putin from reports that his country is trying to influence or disrupt the U.S. election.

Paul Ryan and the GOP: part of the problem.

I hate political parties which soon become ends in themselves existing for their own political futures just like career politicians who run them. They are inherently corrupt and thus will slide to the Left who lives for politics.

Dunno the answer. Maybe independents or decentralized parties like the Tea Party.

Paul Ryan is the poster child of the multi-national politician that we should be removing from office before they either give away the country, bankrupt us, or get us in a war.

Face it. The establishment wants to start a new “cold war”.

To hell with Paul Ryan. He is a liberal piece of garbage. The only chance we have with any relation with Russia is with the strength of Trump right in Putin face.

Trump for President.

Paul Ryan is closer to Nikita Khrushchev than anyone else.

I know of one person who always had voted R but now is considering voting for P. Ryan’s D opponent.

Another Washington Post anti-Trump hit piece.

And they’re a fount of unbiased information.

We can’t get rid of these globalists because the PAC money is hard to come by and PACS are the only method by which it can be done.

The PAC boys are mostly globalists, presently, leaving the field of patriot givers and bundlers pretty thin.

We Cantorized Eric Cantor, with his millions, with Dave Brat who had $200,000.
Money isn’t everything.
All it takes is an educated, motivated voter base.

I would if I were in Ryan’s district.
I voted for the D against Cantor when the first primary attempt failed on 2012.
We Cantorized him in 2014.

You can add that Ryan is also closer to Obama’s policies than Trumps.

I have been advocating this as likely the only solution, same for Mitch too.

Paul Ryan will respect Trump more once Trump is elected.
Trump will have the big veto hammer and kick everything back to Ryan he doesn’t like.

Paul Ryan’s position would be to live under Nazi Pelosi’s skirt, if she allowed it.

Alas, she told him that one panty-waist down there was enough.

Ryan ought to get it over with, and just come out as a Democrat. He’s been functioning as one for years.
