As Capitol Hill aides have explained, amongst Washington’s GOP political class Ryan is regarded as the “Republican Jesus.”
Indeed, National Review, which helped put the third world migration enthusiast Paul Ryan into the Speaker’s office, seemed to embrace the idea of nudging him into the Oval Office. National Review’s deputy managing editor penned a piece entitled,
“Paul Ryan for President!” writing: “One can imagine a case where Trump and Cruz control 60 to 70 percent of the vote between them, and neither one will budge, and no other candidate or boss will consider helping either one. Then it will be time for a respected and inoffensive candidate to offer a contrast to all the strong personalities in the Republican race, and Ryan is nothing if not Mr. Acceptable.”
“Speaker Paul Ryan is emerging as the Republican’s biggest counterweight to Donald Trump,” The Hill wrote in January.
Since Trump’s philosophy is so opposite of Ryan’s, if Trump were to win Wisconsin, it would be seen as a wholesale rejection of Ryan Republicanism. Losing Wisconsin would be politically devastating for Ryan and would make it exceedingly difficult for him to emerge out of the contested convention. As such, Wisconsin is a must-win for Ryan via a proxy of his policy viewpoints, Ted Cruz.
Paul Ryan and corporate media have sought to frame the GOP Civil War of voters versus donors and donor proxies (i.e. Fox News, Republican publications, and various corporate-owned radio networks) as a battle waged over something as frivolous as candidates’ “tone” rather than the substantive policy divisions between the electorate and the Party’s corporate funders.

You people are weird.
Conspiracy theories run amok.
The simple truth is that Ted Cruz is gaining delegates and Trump may not bed able to get the required number.
If nobody gets that required number, certain things go into effect as required by law.
“If this happens I will no longer be a registered republican. I will vote libertarian or write in trump.”
I’m changing my registration to independent the day after I vote in this year’s primary. Screw the GOP - they’re no different than the RAT party.
I have been told a million times by trumpers ... okay, maybe not a million ... that Trump has this nomination sewed up.
I’ve had to look at chart after chart that shows him to be inevitable ... he only has to win (?) percent of the remaining delegates to be a shoo in.
So what happened to all that confidence?
Why are silly people here vowing to do this or that ... to write in Trump ... to vote against the Republican in the race if it isn’t Trump ...
You should be zotted for wanting to throw the country into the hands of the corrupt Clinton or the socialist Bernie.
I think there should be an immediate purge of everyone vowing to disavow the Republican party. It’s our only chance.
Which includes an understanding that a nomination is won when a candidate receives the votes of a majority of the delegates.
I.e., not...a...plurality. No presidential nomination has ever been secured in any party without the support o a majority of the delegates. The "leader" at any point short of the finish line is not yet the "winner".
Exactly, caww?
Where is the outrage?
All I’ve seen on this thread so far is hatred for Republicans.
No sane person thinks we can beat Hillary with a third party candidate so ...
Where are the zots?
Understand this! Paul Ryan is OWNED and was recruited into DC politics by one CESAR CONDA, immigration lawyer, powerhouse in DC...he is also responsible for and chief of staff to MARCO RUBIO...this is ALL about amnesty and TPPtype trade deals!
So... which one is Trump? God?
Posting pictures like that and using Rafael as a derogatory term... just a couple of reasons that no one likes you or your vaunted and worshipped leader.
Nobody has a right to any job.
What’s the point of attacking Ryan?
He’s not a candidate.
Get your own candidate to climb out of the hole he’s dug for himself and get the votes.
Why are there so many anti-trump votes?
If Cruz is so unlikable, why is he getting them?
That’s the point. Cruz isn’t getting thoe votes. Look how many votes no hoper Kasich is getting now. Cruz is such a weak national candidate he needs Bishop Romney and the rest of the never Trump GOPe to GOTV the vote for him.
We dont want an inoffensive candidate we want an offensive candidate.
Thanks for reminding all about what an Open Borders sell out Lyin Paul Ryan is.
Let’s not forget his other Cheap Labor Express/Globalist connections, either....
His good friend an amnesty tour partner, Rep Luis Guittierez
His TPA/Trade OpEd BFF Sen untrusTED cRuz
You act as if there isn't an ongoing, slanted, amoral campaign of character assassination being waged against Donald Trump 24/7/365.
It's absolutely unprecedented, given modern day media capability, and Ted Cruz has simply jumped aboard the Trump-hating bandwagon. Ted Cruz has shown no leadership, and stands exposed as a naked, unprincipled opportunist.
Don't expect that to change.
The slanted anti-Trump propaganda is flowing copiously from every Elite Media outlet on the planet. And I do mean slanted.
Donald Trump has his faults, but the Left/Media/GOPe/Cruz campaign smear machine long ago ceded the moral high ground.
There is an active, Machiavellian effort to manipulate the outcome, and it long ago ceased to be anything legitimate.
Donald Trump will have to overcome overwhelming odds in order to emerge victorious, but don't be surprised if he pulls it off.
And if he does, it will have been in the face of the most concerted effort at demonization that I've ever seen directed at an individual whose only real crime is speaking bluntly, loving his country, wanting to destroy the DC cartel, and wanting to make America Great again.
The People can see the hate, and it's not coming from Donald Trump; it's epicenter is a corrupt, incorrigible Establishment that is terrified that their American "Game Of Thrones" is going to come to an end...
“What’s the point of attacking Ryan? Get your own candidate to climb out of the hole he’s dug for himself and get the votes.”
Shut up. Who I ATTACK is none of your business....are you the posting police? Until yesterday, I NEVER told another human to shut up...but you are just over the GD EDGE! YOU and those like you are what is KILLING MY COUNTRY!
That’s what the article is about and he’s just another one of your corrupt sell outs.
Last thing I’m saying to you. You are a TROLL and a huge waste of time. YOU give your candidate the bad name, as if he can’t do that on his own.
BTW...MY candidate has been ahead of YOUR candidate the entire race....this is how absurd you are! You don’t even know who is winning!
DO NOT POST TO ME AGAIN!
You’ve got one, baby.
Be careful what you ask for.
