For Paul Ryan, a Long, Labored Path Leading Away From Donald Trump

Speaker Paul D. Ryan was in a hotel room in Cincinnati last May when he learned that Donald J. Trump — a man he barely knew, with no institutional ties to his party and a mouth that had already clacked his nerves — had secured the Republican nomination for president.

Mr. Trump had recently lost the Wisconsin primary, which Mr. Ryan and other Republicans in the state thought would presage the reality television star’s demise. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas had made strides, and Mr. Ryan thought the campaign would snake into the summer.

But he badly miscalculated. The ensuing path, from Mr. Trump’s securing the nomination to Mr. Ryan’s decision not to have the nominee appear with him at a rally in Wisconsin a month before Election Day, has been jagged and treacherous, marked by brief moments of hope that Mr. Trump could be controlled, followed by the sinking realization that he could not.

Paul Ryan is a copratist. We have all been same in the past. But, this immigration globalist stuff is opening our eyes(or at least mine). We figure they were on our side and we were on their side and that may of been true in the past. But it is no longer true. They are on their own side and are just using conservative talking points to get our support. they will not fulfill any of them unless it puts money in their pocket. They want lower taxes on themselves, cheap labor, and government spending(big government is big business)they just don't want to pay for it. We should oppose all corporate agendas and tax cuts for rich and corporations until the borders are secure the corporate media not hostile to us and the no longer “work with the Democrats to get thongs done”.

Paul Ryan has one day left to do or die!!! If he does not show up at the Trump political rally tomorrow, being held in Green Bay, Wisconsin to fully support Donald J. Trump, his political career is over!!! I would suggest that Scott Walker and all the other “Traitor, Turncoat” Wisconsin Republicans be there also..or their political careers are over!!! End of story!!!

Ryan’s policies would lead to more terrorist attacks, just as Clinton’s and Obama’s have.

When Trump is elected, on day one he needs to demand Paul Ryan step down as speaker, that he will not and cannot work with traitors in his own party,

I will never support another full of guile faux globalist ‘conservative’ Soros funded (NWO Lite) Ryan, Bush, McCain, Romney, Kasich ever again,

We are watching and taking notes,

Paul Ryan. He’s dead to me.

Every Trump supporter needs to vote for the dem against Rat Ryan.

They do, but they won't, they got Principles, don'tcha know.

The “tea party” was really more a rebellion against the complicit GOPe leadership than it was against Obama. Similarly the Trump candidacy is a rebellion against GOPe. The rank and file seized control of the party from its supposed leaders.

The GOPe has been exposed openly opposing, not Trump, but the GOP rank and file. If Trump wins, the party is revitalized under new management, the members having taken control. If Trump loses, the membership will not forgive this, not ever. I don’t think there is a GOP on November 9 if Trump isn’t headed for the White House. GOPe politicians like Ryan are fighting for a place at the captain’s table on the Titanic.

Ryan is finished, win or lose, rain or shine. He just doesn’t know it, and doesn’t know why. We didn’t choose Trump because he was perfect, we chose him because he was willing to fight and he wasn’t one of them.
