Top allies break with Ryan over Trump
Politico ^ | Friday May 6, 2015 | Rachael Bade

Posted on 05/07/2016 9:07:23 PM PDT by Innovative

Reps. Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia and Dennis Ross of Florida — who, as House whips, help Republican leaders muster support to pass legislation — told POLITICO in interviews on Friday that they disagreed with Ryan’s decision to break with Trump in a bombshell interview a day earlier. Both lawmakers said they believe their leader is in denial about how Republican voters feel about the real-estate tycoon.

“I honestly don’t understand what Paul’s thinking — I don’t get it,” said Westmoreland, who is retiring after this year. “I try not to give advice to the speaker, but I think it just really brought about, in my opinion, even more confusion to this thing.”

Ryan, as a Republican leader, should most certainly support the Republican nominee for president.

If he isn't doing that, he shouldn't have a position in the Republican party.

Ryan is paving the way to the end of his career

That certainly seems to be the way he's headed. He seems to have a vastly over-inflated sense of his own importance, and reality doesn't seem to have registered in his world yet. I think that's the case for many GOP establishment types as well as Democrats who live in the Beltway. These people have always been out of touch.

Ryan was a bad choice from day one. Every non-establishment Repub knew it...and the establishment pukes did not care.

He is a fool. He will be replaced soon enough.

Why don’t Ryan , Romney , Kristol ,Levin , Beck , McCain, Rove, Bushes ,and the rest of the GOPe, just join the DIMs and be done with it ...that’s where their hearts lie ...or if they go third party, it could be called the Neo-Con party ... it could be headed up by Bloomberg and would get very few votes nationally ...

Ryan and Mittens need to be reminded that many of us held our noses and voted for them in 2012. Many are disappointed that Ryan rolled over on nearly all of Obama’s spending. They need to now hold their noses, like we did for them, and vote Trump. Pragmatism Trump’s Ideologic Purity.

Stupid, Paul RINO Ryan is still loyal to Willard RAT Romney, who’s desperately trying to collaborate with silly Billy Kristol to come up with a 3rd Party president & vice-president duo.

I’m sure that Romney sees himself atop this fantasy ticket and perhaps his underling can be Linda Graham or Jeb Bush!

Or how about Jeb Bush & Linda Graham?

Paul Ryan is not going to realize that his constituents are not pleased with his advocacy for illegal aliens and their employers until they Cantorize his weasel a$$ out of office.

The republicans didn’t nominate trump. The people did. The Republican Party as it was has been rejected, long live the Republican Party by rump is now its leader. Arrogant power hungry people like Ryan can ignore this for as long as they want. It won’t change. Trump
Owes him nothing. The people owe him less. It’s the other way around. These people work for us

I think it’s critical for Freepers to financially support Ryan’s primary opponent, Paul Nehlen, who has stated he supports Trump. In effect, we should made the Paul/Paul race a proxy for Trump’s fight with the GOPe.

Cantorizing Paul Ryan would send shock waves through the ranks of the GOPers who think they can be re-elected without supporting Trump.

Getting Paul Ryan out is really our best shot at forcing the entire GOP to PUBLICLY lineup behind Donald Trump.

Nehlen’s website is at:

http://www.paulnehlen.com/

I contributed $100.00 earlier today.

Note:

1. Never give any of these bozos your real phone number or email address. Use a fake but plausible phone number, hopefully one that’s phony enough to not work, or even a telemarketer’s phone number you’ve harvested from your caller ID.

2. Use a burner email address.

3. Because it’s a credit card based system, you’ll probably have to give your real postal address, but junk mail is easy to throw in the recycle box.

4. Firefox didn’t work for me because the card-type field couldn’t be filled in, so I used IE.

Paul Ryan REFUSED to stop Obama.

No wonder he won’t endorse Trump.
