**“I think conservatives want to know, does he share our values and our principles on limited government, the proper role of the executive, adherence to the Constitution?”**
Trump is so far over Obama on adhering to the Constitution that I don’t see why Ryan even has doubts.
““I think what a lot of Republicans want to see is that we have a standard-bearer that bears our standards,” he told Jake Tapper”
Our standards....uncontrolled immigration, more Muslim refugees, and more BAD trade like TPP and some more worthless wars to kill our kids.
People better find out who controls this traitor Ryan. He and Rubio are true manchurian candidates, handpicked by the powers that be in the GOP to push ‘THEIR STANDARDS’
Who runs the GOP and owns Paul Ryan & Marco Rubio? Let’s name names! http://towncriernews.blogspot.com/2016/05/who-runs-gop-and-owns-paul-ryan-marco.html
There are a considerable amount of people wandering about with the delusion that had this contested convention been pulled off, that somehow Ted Cruz would emerge as the nominee. That was never going to happen. The GOPe would have reached within their own to come up with a 'unifying' candidate who could 'legitimately challenge the democrats.' And that would not have been Ted Cruz.
Thankfully, the voters saved us from a horrible, horrible mistake.
Will Trump be a horrible mistake? Compared to what, I reply.
Compared to John McCain or Mitt Romney or whomever the GOPe would have placed up as the sacrificial lamb? Even if we take the worst assumptions of a Trump candidacy, and should he become president, of his time in office - they merely equal what McCain or Romney would have done.
We do not have a perfect candidate, we will likely never have a perfect candidate. But for once, it is us dealing the hand. I hope those who supported Ted Cruz can recognize and accept that and move forward to keep massive fires under Trump's feet to remind him of the direction he promised to lead us in, and to keep him from wandering too far off that path.
Trump says he got no heads up about this. Total FU by Ryan.
I am surprised that no one seems to have mentioned in the article or thread so far that this is just another ham handed power play by the establishment. Ryan and the rest are making every attempt to get Trump under their control. The problem for them is that whatever one thinks of Trump positive or negative... he is the master negotiator. He has a very honed sense of who has the power and why. Politics is a game of negotiating, and we are now seeing why the Republicans have continued to fail despite having a majority in both houses of Congress.
A message to Ryan:
I was born in Wisconsin. I was there until I turned 24. My entire family still lives in Wisconsin, and they all have been successful in business there.
I would like to address what Ryan ‘thinks’ are the values of the Republican Party that we registered Republicans are willing to follow or support.
There has been NOTHING in the past years since Reagan that the Republican Party has done to impress me. I have been a registered Republican for the past 55 years. The only time I didn’t vote Republican in a Presidential election was when I voted for JFK. I was beyond disgusted with Nixon’s behavior, and since then, I have watched the ‘Republican Party’ degrade into as corrupt a group as the Democrats. The Republicans just did a better job of hiding it from the voters until this year.
We REAL CONSERVATIVES finally have a man we can follow-—NOT a John McCain-—NOT a Romney-—a man who cannot be bought.
So far, Trump has spent about $44 million & Jeb Bush flushed over $100 million away trying to appear interested in running the USA as he wandered thru his campaign ‘rallys’. At a ‘breakfast rally’ in Las Vegas, the day before that Las Vegas debate, Jeb only pulled less than 30 people into his rally. Believe me, there are enough homeless people in Las Vegas who would have come inside just to get warmer.
Will my faith (and the faith of many others) be rewarded by Trump in the White House? We will see....
But there is one thing I am damn sure of——NOTHING Trump will do will be 1% as bad as what Bill Clinton & Obama already did do & what Shrillary Clinton surely would do.
This country has to get back on track with what made it great in the first place-—Drop Common Core—BAN PC crap-—Build a wall & keep our enemies away from our citizens. Clean the illegals out of the schools-—the prisons-—the jails-—the jobs-—and the corners in south central & east LA where they spend their days causing trouble.
Clean out the bloated Federal payrolls & stop the duplication & overspending. Throw out the current people running the VA & literally start over. OUR own military men are suffering while Obama brings more ‘refugees’ into the country every day & they end up with a completely free ride. Give an enemy everything they need to survive & nothing to do 24/7/365 & see how fast they can recruit more people to support their hate of America. Even the lowliest farmer in the backwoods knows NOT to let the fox into the chicken house.
I spoke to a local senior at the Senior Center a couple of days ago. He has been fighting diabetes for years. He was ordered by his doctor to get special shoes. When he began using those shoes——they cost $150 a pair. Then they suddenly cost $450 a pair with his insurance company involved. Then he was old enough to e eligible for Medicare. SUDDENLY, those same shoes cost Medicare $900 a pair!!!! He bitched about this waste & found out his own doctor sells the shoes he needs for $150 a pair. Guess where he buys them now? When he talked to Medicare about the cost, he was told to forget about it.
Another neighbor told me about the last days with his mother. He is the only child & HE took her to all of her medical visits. When ALL of the nurses & doctors had told him that there was no hope for his mom, he was at her side as many hours a day in the hospital as he could be. One day, one of the doctors came in & told him that ‘I have ordered a speech therapist to come in tomorrow for your mother”. My neighbor challenged this. WHY? “Because she will feel better about herself”. His mom was in dememtia. He argued with the doctor & said to cancel the ‘speech therapist’ & the doctor IMMEDIATELY discharged his mother.
A few days after she passed, he got updated information from Medicare about all the services his mother had received. There were 9 visits to this same doctor-—not in the hospital, but before that-—to his office!!! My neighbor was the ONLY transportation she had to the doctor & she had ONLY BEEN THERE ONE TIME——NOT 9???
He called Medicare-—(they had already paid the doctor) & CLEARLY TOLD THE PERSON AT THE MEDICARE FRAUD LOCATION that he had been his mother’s only transportation & that she only saw him one time. NOT 9. He wanted Medicare to charge back the doctor for the fraudulent billing.
The person at MEDICARE FRAUD LOCATION said : “FORGET IT. It is already paid.!!!!”
So much for having ANY kind of Fraud department at The Federal level.
I want Trump to cut every single Federal department in half at a minimum——but I want the EPA, the Education Dept—and other units totally closed down. IRS needs paring down to the nubs, also.
American working citizens who are carrying the tax bill for all this waste can find smarter things to do with their money. MAYBE many of the middle class can help their own kids with college tuition, and the kids would only have SMALL student loans that the Feds ae controlling.
But the speaker has acknowledged that a bid in 2020 is possible and, intentional or not, this could be part of an effort to pick up the pieces if Republicans lose the White House this fall.
He's already presuming/and hoping that Trump will lose. He has his own political future he's thinking about. Primary him out, Wisconsin!
“I think what a lot of Republicans want to see is that we have a standard-bearer that bears our standards”
This is exactly the problem. He means The ELECTED Republicans want the party standard bearer to bear THEIR standard (Amnesty, free trade, loose southern border ensuring cheap labor etc..). Many (most) of The VOTING Republicans do not want Amnesty, do not want free trade, want a secure southern border. That “many” wants the party to change their standard to follow Trump. The ELECTED Republicans refuse to acknowledge this difference, the ELECTED Republicans refuse to change and that’s why they’ll never unify behind Trump or those that do will half-ass it.
Apparently Paul Ryan thinks republican standards are to give Obama everything he wants.
I think we know the problem.
I am no longer a republican.
Little Paulie better mind his manners.
If Ryan wants to “unify” the party on his terms, he will unify it without me or millions like me who used to vote straight party ticket Republican but who won’t be fooled again.
Ryan needs to go to the ash heap of history, with the Bushes, McConnell and the Clintons.

I’m going to keep those postcards flowing... to Paul Ryan (and to my local reps and senators)... Every Monday until Ryan and all the others are “ready” to support Trump, or until Ryan makes it clear that he’s flipping the bird to We, The People, and he plans to support Hillary.
It’s not over until Trump is actually the Republican nominee, not just the “presumptive” nominee. Everyone stay focused, and keep voting Trump in the remaining primaries. Keep focused until February 2017.
Postcards to:
Spkr. Paul Ryan

This is what I’m writing on my postcards:
Support Trump2016
- or we vote DEM down-ballot in November!
#MAGA
Paul Ryan, the man who personally wrote the language into the 2013 budget agreement to cut the pensions of military veterans, including combat disabled veterans who were missing limbs. He is not worthy to be in office.
Well, I predict that this fact will make a huge difference in Ryan’s attempted dustup with Trump.
The most voters in GOP history are going to put Donald Trump well over the top as the nominee. The most voters to EVER vote for any individual through the GOP Presidential Primary for president.
And they did in a field of 17 candidates.
Think about that.
There is a message being sent loud and clear and Ryan better heed it, or his opponent in his own GOP Primary who is proudly stating he will support Trump, may well upend the new speaker.
