Donald Trump or Paul Ryan: Who’s King of the Hill?
NY Times ^ | May 8, 2016 | MoDo

Posted on 05/08/2016 6:16:56 AM PDT by King of Florida

WASHINGTON — PAUL RYAN and Donald Trump sit down at Republican National Committee headquarters on Capitol Hill to hash out a couple little things, like who is running the party and who is the actual Republican.

“Welcome to Washington, Donald,” Ryan says, shaking hands with the presumptuous nominee. “Reince says you’re far more gracious in private than in public and I sure hope that’s true.”

Trump smirks and pulls out his bottle of industrial-strength sanitizer, squirting a prodigious amount on his hands.

Trying to thaw the chill, the House speaker displays his best ingratiating Irish undertaker air. “Hey,” he says, “thanks for not calling me Lyin’ Ryan.”

“I never use the same adjective twice,” Trump replies coolly. “As you know, I do have killer instincts. That’s how I knocked out 16 losers. So let’s try a few names for kicks. Pious Paul? Pompous Paul? Phony Paul? Back-Stabbing, Blindsiding Paul who hung me out to dry to protect his own presidential ambitions for 2020?”

If Trump supporters stay home as they feel and rightfully so that the GOP finally see GOPe and just Vote for Trump only the GOP would be a permanent minority

When you bring out Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush and Lindsey Graham as the face of GOP conservatives

People are not that stupid. Especially Lindsey Graham and Jeb Bus signed a agreement to support the party and reneged on that promise.

I'm very happy that the Republic party. We have a candidate and a the leaders of the House and Senate. While the Democrats are still battling over for the candidate and one leader under FBI investigations. So why I'm happy. The denial for the Democrats is like Nixon's final days.

I'm very disappointed that the Republican Party has ignored their base, sold their votes to the highest bidder, opposed the people, sold our country and decided that slow socialism is the only alternative to fast socialism.

We have a candidate and a the leaders of the House and Senate.

The leaders of the House and Senate are RINOs who prefer crony-capitalism to liberty.

The media has already changed the narrative from what’s best for America & Americans to Trump vs the conservatives in the GOP. Voters must decide is this election going to be about what’s best for America & Americans or what’s important to the media.

As voters, we are either going to turn this mess around or we aren’t.

Line all the streets in DC with stocks; one for each traitor in government and let the American people show their disdain for the enemies within who have sold their souls to the Devil to feed their self-serving, amoral, corrupt egos.

Wow, only 40 topics in May thus far with "Trump" in the title. Five per day? Remarkable. I think I've edited out the pre-Indiana win topics; with those went the earlier meme, that Trump has "a problem" with women -- which probably explains how he's nearly swept the primaries and has women working for him as employees and volunteers, and has managed to be married multiple times.

I think leftys are freaking out because they have scores of troops that know how to beat the GOP standard approach. This new paradigm has them scared after winning 5 of 6 times.

No stocks; gallows. Use them, repeatedly, until the District of Criminals is cleaned out of self-seeking traitors.

Ryan still is, for a few more days. [Romney seemed to have abandoned the position and deferred to Ryan.]

When Trump attains 1237 delegates, he becomes the presumptive head of the GOP and the new King of the Hill.

What .
Your pushing a lie and a fantasy world .
GOP s owned by Billionaire Crony capitalist and Globalist traitors.
These traitors funded Barry Soros entire far left regime .
They funded the invasion of Muslim terrorist and uneducated third world invaders demanding Welfare.
They funded global warming nightmare pushed by the epa and HUDs rules to destroy the middle class !
The current GOP leaders and rep outside a small minority are the enemy ,
So cut the lies and spin here.

“Well, Two-Face,” Trump retorts, “if you’re such a big-deal conservative, why did you push for that budget increasing spending by billions, funding Obama’s executive amnesty program, relocation of terrorist refugees and sanctuaries cities — but somehow no money for the border fence? You’re a white Obama. Bad! Sad!! The nuns said your budgets were so mean and un-Christian they wanted to beat erasers around your head.”

BINGO!

That is Catherine Zeta-Jones. At one time Michael Douglas was dating her and Maureen Dowd at the same time. He ended up marrying-Zeta-Jones. Afterwards some posters came up with a perverse ‘rule’ that every Dowd column posted on FR must be accompanied by pics of Zeta-Jones.
