pat buchanan told Trump not to suck up to these clowns, if they want to leave, let ‘em.
Why was this loser promoted to Speaker of the House?
Trumps initial response to Ryan’s statement did not help mend things. If you want to unify the party you can’t just keep attacking the other factions.
Don’t bother, Trump: these people have and will again stab you in the back.
They were planning to at the convention:

Ryan wants to be noticed. He wants to portray himself — a politician who has been elected by comparatively few people in his small district — as someone who is on equal footing with Trump, who has been winning elections nationwide. He wants to be seen as a man so powerful and big that he can force Trump to court him, etc. It is all optics for his upcoming election. He is facing a challenger in a few months.
His election to his office is not a sign of his strength but is a sign of the weakness of the Republican body that elected him.
Ryan is really a sissy who got lucky.
His opponent there is a local business man and employer Paul Nehlen, who puts a face on the downside of the effects of 'free' trade.
It would be sweet justice if the Speaker of the House, Republican convention chairman, and future Presidential candidate lost a primary race in his own district.
Part of Ryan’s statement: “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?’”
After giving the most far left President we’ve ever had everything he wanted, and doing NOTHING to promote conservatism, Ryan has nerve talking about limited government. Please, WI, vote this guy out!
“the core principles of the Republican Party” -— Seems to me, in practice, on a Congressional level, they are perfectly aligned with Obama.
“I am going to win over my opponents and skeptics”.
Gotta say, I like the Reaganesque confidence.
Most of the present contretemps between Trump and his doubters/opponents comes from voices urging an immediate demand for loyalty to the nominee.
Those voices are the press, trying with all its might to create a fire storm.
It’s called “Art of the Deal” and if anyone knows it better, it’s Trump, he wrote the book, and built his 10 Billion dollar company on it...
If anyone can turn this Country around, it’s Trump...
Paul Ryan is a pure and unasulterated Jerk , so Self Absorbed with himslf he should be Committed.
Get on board and play nice or I’ll endorse Nehlen and throw him a huge rally. Your choice. Have a nice day.
**Donald Trump says he will meet with Paul Ryan next week, possibly**
The negotiator strikes again!
He should just say, “Look, I don’t even know if I’ll be working with Paul Ryan,” and let them interpret it how they want.
Trump is still quite unpopular with Wisconsin conservatives. Didn’t help that he ripped Scott Walker... Ryan is playing to his local base. He can’t be seen as a Trump lover right off the bat.

Trump can bring Manafort to help reason with these people.
Manafort is like Trump’s Luca Brazzi.....
Freepers supporting Trump need to back away from the key board and watch Hillary coughing spells for a couple of weeks. This will all work out to the benefit of all sides. It will because it has to. That or just go to the cooking threads for a bit.
