Paul Ryan to Trump: Talk about the economy, not the caravan
NY Post ^ | November 5, 2018 | Mark Moore

House Speaker Paul Ryan pleaded with President Trump in a phone call to tout the booming economy rather than continue attacking the migrant caravan in Mexico in the final days before Tuesday’s midterm elections, according to a report on Monday.

The Wisconsin Republican reached out to Trump on Sunday and urged him to change his message but the president said his focus on immigration is firing up his supporters, Politico reported.

“Trump has hijacked the election,” a senior House Republican aide told Politico about Trump’s attention on immigration. “This is not what we expected the final weeks of the election to focus on.”

Most of the GOP is still owned by the Cheap Labor Express.
They do not want it shut down.

Border security and the economy are the same thing. Open borders creates unemployment for working class Americans, who are pushed aside by illegal immigrants who’ll work for basement level wages

Both McCain and Romney were willing Designated Losers.
They had no intention of winning.
Just making it look like we had a choice.

I find it interesting that he is giving the exact same advice that the Democrats on CNN were giving.

oh, and btw, anyone who bothers to watch an entire trump rally knows that he spends at least as much time listing all of his many economic accomplishments as he does on illegal immigration .. it’s the the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ that chooses to omit all mention of the positive aspects of the Trump Presidency and focus almost exclusively on his remarks about illegal immigration, incorrectly believing that will hurt the GOP at the polls ...

My son, who told me in 2012 that Ryan was no good, was 26 years old at the time.

The kid was right and his mom was wrong.

A healthy economy and a secure border go together.

Porous borders mean American workers get laid off for cheaper replacements

i still remember that thrashing ... media had built ryan up to be some kind of policy genius, but instead Biden made mince-meat out of him ...

It is somewhat amazing this empty suit because speaker of the house. The financial media is already touting the amazing economy......no need to pile on. The caravan impacts swing ( suburban women voters, Hispanics and Blacks ) voters......folks who have been swinging toward the Republican party since Trump arrived.

He is building a bigger tent without Private Citizen Ryan........
