Poll: Paul Ryan's Approval Collapses, More GOP Voters Say Trump
Townhall.com ^ | 10/21/16 | Matt Vespa

Justin wrote about the hostile reception to Speaker Of The House Paul Ryan from Trump supporters at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Chants of “Paul Ryan sucks” were shouted, but is this an isolated incident? That is, is this just a representation of Trump supporters from the local area? No—not really. The latest polling shows that support for Ryan has collapsed, sinking 28 points…in a week. The YouGov poll had some interesting points concerning Ryan, Trump, and the brewing tensions that seem bound to erupt in civil war once this election is over.

Allahpundit noted that Ryan is experiencing the Ted Cruz treatment from his own side by refusing to campaign with Trump, though he hasn’t yanked his endorsement, which rightfully leaves some people wondering why this late in the game would anyone just stop supporting Trump. For starters, the Access Hollywood tape isn’t a deal breaker with many Republican voters, but it is one with almost a quarter of independents, who Trump needs to win over in order to win this election. Another interesting find in the crosstabs about Ryan is that most Republicans, despite their increasing dislike of him, view him as the leader of the GOP, not Trump:

Why would Trump want to be seen as the leader of a bunch of RINOS? The GOP: home of the NeverTrumpers. Who needs that? GOP go to Hell.

>>who is going to challenge his speakership?<<

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

DRAIN THE SWAMP!

I think Jeb Hensarling, a proud Trump supporter and brilliant on reforming the financial industry (getting rid of Dodd-Frank and allowing local/regional banks to thrive again) would make a great choice.

Thought I saw Campbell Brown in On the reporting of a rumor of Senor possibly being the source of the leak. She did that and is married to Senor? Also it seems both the Dems and the Republican establishment are being blamed for the tape and timing. It is all very confusing.

Ryan’s seat is filled with a democrat right now. He has just been in the closet. Trump has forced the door open and we see who Ryan is. Maybe next time we can get someone honest in there.

A lot of liberal-tarians vote for Rats for immoral social issues and globalist ideology, i.e. open borders and “free” trade.

RYAN owns Wisconsin. He looks like a cub scout, but he’s a Lefty.

What our representatives must do is kick him out as Speaker. Pronto.

I’m voting Trump then walking out.

I'm going to vote Trump and then some of the judges who the "Right to Life" endorses. That's it.

“The guy had me totally BS’d.”

You’re not alone! I have friends that are HEAVILY connected to the politicians in our state; they aren’t saying ch#t about Paul Ryan, these days. Up until his primary (Nehlen challenged) he was still their Golden Boy. Now?

*Crickets*

And, good! :)

Actually, the House did nothing to defer the Supreme Court nomination. Confirmation of Supreme Court Justices is entirely in the hands of the Senate.

McConnell is not a conservative, but at least he has stood firm on the nomination issue. He’s also given a brief endorsement of Trump, then shut up and remained out of the way of the Presidential campaign.

Ryan has continually injected himself into the presidential race to undermine Trump.

Write your congresspeople and let them know that unless the Republican congressional leadership get 100% behind actively supporting Trump in the last 2 weeks, we will never vote for a Republican again.
