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.

I understand that John Boehner is available.
Primary this douche bag RINO out of office.
And should he be as successful as running for VP, he’d still intentionally lose to the Democrat. I for one will not cast a vote for him under any circumstance. I’m done with all that.

Concerns About Paul Ryan Emerging Out of Ted Cruz-Created Contested Convention as Nominee Dominate Wisconsin
Long article if it is true Ryan has to be the number one RINO
In 2013, Ryan joined forces with open-borders advocate Rep. Luis Gutierrez
to campaign for Sen. Marco Rubio amnesty agenda. Gutierrez has previously said, “I have only one loyalty… and that’s to the immigrant community.”
While stumping for amnesty with Gutierrez, Ryan repeatedly made the case for open borders, declaring that: “America is more than just a country… It’s more than our borders. America is an idea. It’s a very precious idea.”
This statement is significant because, while a country has borders, “ideas” do not. If America is an “idea” rather than a “country,” then recent refugees from Somalia have as much of a “right” to a job in the United States as do children whose ancestors fought in the American Revolution.
Cruz is getting anti-Trump votes in WI. Once again he can’t seal the deal himself because he is so unlikable. For every anti-Trump & pro-Ryan WI voter Cruz gets he loses a conservative disgusted at his sleazy campaign.
I agree; under NO circumstances will I vote for Ryan, President or VP. I have no idea what the intellectual screwballs at NR think they are proposing but they really seem to be very, very distant from the base of the Party and reality. The Rockefeller/Scranton/Romney Sr. wing of the party no longer exists, fellas, except that they run Congress for the behalf of Obama.
If this happens I will no longer be a registered republican. I will vote libertarian or write in trump
“Washington’s GOP political class”
By a more honest name, American Royalty.
I will have no respect for anyone who free rides to a nomination.
Ryan Republicanism consists of four core tenets, which are:
- Population Replacement
- Working Class Communities "Deserve To Die"
- Military Adventurism
- Wealth Redistribution
The author, Julia Hahn, backs up each of these with observations relating to legislation supported by Ryan.
I would add that these attributs of "Ryan Rpeublicanism" reflect the policy preferences of the uniparty, GOPe, Republcan Main streeters, and 70-90% of the GOP members of Congress.
I hope the people of his district have the sense to Cantorize their weasel as we did to ours.
A vote for Cruz, is a vote for Ryan
If Trump and Cruz are shafted and Ryam becomes the nominee,
it will not be because they believe Ryan will win.
It will be because the GOPe’s believe he will help ballot down GOP
candidates.
However if Trump and Cruz are shafted, ballot downs will get slaughtered.
The good, the bad and the ugly will get thrown out.
Why is it ted cruz created? If trump had enough votes it wouldn’t be an issue. Leave it to breitbart to twist the facts to blame cruz.
No person under Rule 40b may be placed in nomination unless they have 8 state majorities. Those two men are Trunp/Cruz only. What is really overlooked here is that a sleazy rule change to steal it away and violate the Rules after the game started “ HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY THE CONVENTION DELEGATES!!! over 2000 between them!!Isn’t that funny? Trump and Cruz will control the floor of the convention and if you think they will change rule 40b to let a nobody like Paul Rino be nominated,— you have lost your cognitive capabilities.
Ryan/Boehner 2016? God help us.
Ryan/Boehner 2016? God help us.
RE “...Then it will be time for a respected and inoffensive candidate to offer a contrast ...”
Meaning a RINO who will bend over and spread for the Democrats on a moment’s notice.
No thanks.
A vote for Cruz, is a vote for Ryan
Given the Cruzaders new found attachment to Bishop Romney, Jeb Bush and the rest of GOPe; I’d say they are just fine with that. Never Trump, don’t cha know.
