DONALD J. TRUMP RESPONDS TO SPEAKER PAUL RYAN
"I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan's agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people. They have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for politicians to put them first!"
Donald J. Trump
“Ryan finds himself giving cover to several congressman for some time”
Ryan also gave cover to Obama by giving him everything he wanted.
Once in office, the levers of power grow exponentially greater and Trump will know how to use them all to best effect. The incumbents know that, which is why they are fearful.

.....”Trump and Ryan are both playing to their base. They will both cave to each other and declare the party united. Trump gives in to conservatives and Ryan gives in to Trump supporters”.....
I don’t think so...I think this is a toe to toe of power, Trump didn’t like that Ryan took hi to task in uniting the party......Trumps obviously saying it’s not your party it’s mine.
Iron fist with a velvet glove.
Take heed, Ryan. Trump will remove the glove if you keep it up.
Does this fool ryan love being “schlonged”?
Say what?
Trump just steamrolled the GOPe’s including Ryan.
I don’t understand your classifications.
Free trade - has obviously de-industralized the United States
No minimum wage - been around for 60 years at least
No tax increases on anybody - Trump’s tax plan calls for reduction of rates for everyone
transgender rights - Trump said leave it like it was
I don't know exactly HOW, just yet... but: yeah.
;)
....”Ryan may be speaker”....
Well that’s an elected office that position wise is above Trump’s current place-hold. Trumps basically declaring it’s not your party...it’s mine.
Thus this is why many along the way have stated that Trumps campaign has been all about a ‘hostile takeover’ of the Republican Party. Like in Corporate takeovers, that’s not attempted unless a company and it’s management is weak. Trumps applied the same principle .....only he’s run his 3rd party inside the Republican Party itself.
The guy is good.
It would be so much fun if Trump endorsed Paul Nehlen.
You would think that, by now, people would understand that Trump is the greatest counter-puncher we've seen in a generation.
Does Paul Ryan have a Primary challenger in his district or is it over?
....”This reluctance confirms to me the fact that that the fix is in to bypass Trump at the convention”.....
I don’t know about any fix....but whatever is going on may very well be either a set up for a walk by Trump or a full throttle by Trump to destroy the Gop entire....to replace it with ?????
People are underestimating the convention I think.....Trump still needs to focus on getting delegate count for the win....and there’s a reason Cruz suspended when he did. This still gives “time” for whatever we don’t know yet mmay very well take place.
Trumps on his own now.....how and what he will do or say is ????? either way he stands alone without any competition in full view of the audience. It will get interesting.....
LOL...too funny.
