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?”

I find it laughable that there is any doubt as to the outcome of a match between a man who owns billions of dollars worth of real estate and flies in his own 757 vs. a man who sleeps in his office and showers in the congressional gym. Ryan’s rise to power is going to be exceeded only by his meteoric fall.

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.


Nope. Those that wanted a contested convention are going to continue their Trump smear campaign all the way until the convention.

I used to believe that too. I registered as a Republican in 1959. changed registration to independent the day Boehner pushed through the massive spending bill for Obama before the new congress was seated.

It’s a Rule, but it isn’t perverse.

In fact, I think it was included in the Fifteen Commandments.

It was etched on the Tablet that Mel Brooks dropped.
