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

Posted on 11/05/2018 8:42:40 AM PST by conservative98

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.”

Trump IS talking about both.

The media has decided that immigration is a better topic for the Dems.

Covering Trumps comments on the Economy doesn’t fit into their blackout of the positive numbers that Trumps policies have created

If another 22 million illegals come to the United States it WILL EFFECT THE ECONOMY.

How?

By keeping wages down.

By upping unemployment in inner cities - upping the cost of welfare, subsidized housing and prison upkeep... People with jobs don’t commit as many crimes... and they pay their way.

By allowing Americans to invest in BETTER schools and BETTER teachers rather than building MORE schools for the sake of ilegal’s children.

Allow us to repair existing roads rather than being forced to build MORE because of all the excess people on our roads.

Allow car insurance rates to go DOWN because illegals don’t bother to buy car insurance and we ALL pay for their car accidents.

This is more of Ryan's B.S.

He doesn't have any idea what he is talking about.

Instead of repeating Barack Obama's talking points Ryan should watch and listen to President Trump's actual rallies himself.

The president talks and brags about the economy at length every rally.

He quotes the latest economic indicators such as unemployment, employment overall and by minority grops etc., etc.

Paul Ryan’s biography will be titled - Jurassic Park, when RINOs ruled DC!

“Actually, unwittingly Ryan just made BOTH the economy and the caravan front and center.”

very true ... the damnable Lying Leftist Fake Stream Enemedia™ has totally refused to even mention Trump’s amazing economic turnaround except in the context of a RINO-bashing P.o.S. like Ryan ...

If it wasn’t for Trump running, and WINNING in 2016, the GOP would have lost seats. Trump’s coattails DID carry them over the line. Suck it, Paul.

I predict (rather easily) that shortly after the new year Paul Ryan will announce he is taking some cushy job in the private sector that is associated with the government. His salary will be in the millions.

You bet. Heard this morning 61% are happy or extremely happy with the current state of the economy.

On the other hand, I just heard a clip from Obama saying Trump was riding the coattails of HIS economic recovery. The stupid. It burns.

Every time that guy opens his mouth, I think less of him. He should just shut and leave.

I agree except I couldn't possibly think any less of him!

And that is why the GOP has been HUGELY in-effectual for decades....

Bought and paid for by people who want open borders, “free trade” and other things that harm everyday Americans..

Trump is RIGHTLY talking about BOTH the ECONOMY and ILLEGALS.. even if your Big Money DOnors don’t like it Ryan.

The caravan IS about the economy.

"Would some public official please declare Paul Ryan officially brain dead."

I don't think he is brain dead; I think he is working for the other team and a major reason the House GOP majority is in such jeopardy. He will be well rewarded by the Uniparty in January.

Dumb ass. Kavanaugh and the caravan might have saved the Congressional GOP’s arse.

He's not dumb. He's reflecting the establishment position. They are not yet defeated, they have just gone underground. What he's saying is "we establishment puppet RINOs support unlimited illegal immigration but we cannot say that because every time we try to hint at it our voters hand us our butts. So we have to pretend to be against it. We'd rather just not talk about it at all so we don't have to lie on the record but Trump keeps talking about it. We hate that."

Hey Paul, Trump won his Presidential election, you and your boy Mitt, didn’t.

So he thinks Trump will listen to him? He’s been sabotaging MAGA since before the election, and NOW the pipsqueak has something (he thinks is constructive) to say? Delusional.

Obviously, Speaker Ryan has bought the Leftist snake oil on immigration--the absolutely ridiculous notion that geography magically changes people, so that it is not important whether immigrants share your values or reject them.

This was lunacy in 1965, when we replaced an America affirming immigration policy with one that placed the pursuit of "diversity" above all others.

It was stupid in 1965--intellectually indefensible in 1965--and absolutely indefensible today!

Diversity In Context

Of course in 1965, the Left was riding roughshod over a demoralized Conservatism. But, now, 53 years later, we approach the now or never moment.

We have to win tomorrow! God Willing, as a revived people, we will find within us what is needed. God Bless President Trump & the America for which he struggles.
