Just in! Paul Ryan makes big announcement regarding stepping down
Red State Watcher ^ | 5/9/2016

Posted on 05/09/2016 12:51:06 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Speaker Ryan said he would step down if Trump asked. USA today reported: Speaker Paul Ryan said Monday that if Donald Trump wants him to step down as a co-chairman of the GOP convention, he will respect his wishes. "He's the nominee. I'll do whatever he wants with respect to the convention," Ryan said when asked about that scenario in an interview with the Journal Sentinel. Ryan said he hopes he and Trump can begin to get to know each other when they meet later this week. "I just want to get to know the guy ... we just don't know each other," said Ryan, who delivered a political bombshell last Thursday when he said he wasn't ready yet to support his party's presumptive nominee.

Please step down, not only convention but as speaker as well. Resign from congress helpful too.

Trump will say let’s see how the meeting goes. On Thursday Ryan will grovel. It would be funny if even after that, Trump told him to step down.

Donald Trump, dump this traitor, Paul Ryan is fully in bed with the Republican Establishment, back stabbers and more importantly is doing the bidding of POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama & company. Broom him....immediately!!!

As the expression goes, Ryan’s statement is “PILED HIGH DEEP”.

How lame: He just wants to “get to know him, I don’t know him”.

Of course he knows DJT. Everybody not even involved in politics as he is, knows DJT. Debates, rallies, press conferences, interviews....give me a break.

If he didn’t “know him”, why then did he open his mouth to say he couldn’t support him in the first place.

Lyin’ Ryan, GO HOME.

Bring on Sheriff Joe. THERE’S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN NOW.

I’m telling you, not since the highpoint of Beatlemania,
or the Kennedy-Camelot fantasies, have I seen anyone invade the minds of so many Americans in such a sustained manner. Trump is on almost everyone’s mind, pro, con or neutrally. I think the obsession and fascination with The Donald easily tops Obama-mania, because with Donald, the intrique crosses over into many different demographics of race, age and income.

I have never seen anything like it. We aren’t even at the Conventions yet. I recall a skeptical RINO saying back last September, that Donald was peaking way too early, and would be old, tired news well before Spring arrived. Well, it’s close to Memorial Day now, and guess what? Nothing has changed. People are still interested in The Donald, even when they don’t want to be. The Donald is fullfilling needs we had not even admitted we had.

I think IMHO that RINO RYAN does not represent the Republican Party, that is Mr. Trump that does that..

We have put him in that position, by voting for him, and this is OUR Government, We the PEOPLE, For the PEOPLE and BY the PEOPLE...

The cry babies that want to support Hillary, go support her, we could care less...when you were in the Republican Party, we supported you, now you can’t support Our Nominee, fine, go away, have a happy life, sing around the campfire, do what ever you want, just don’t come crying back to WE the PEOPLE when Our President starts to Make America Great Again, because remember: YOU LEFT!!!

Basically he is asking to be removed. He does not want to be co-chair.

Ryan just wants to "get to know him"..."I don't know him"

Hey, Paulie, how come we uneducated, degree-less, deaf and dumb plebes out here in fly-over country know and understand Trump and like what he's saying in plain English to us...and here you are the high & mighty Speaker of the Mouses and an entrenched pol.....and YOU don't understand him?

Get lost.

He speaks to us personally...like we’re at the supper table or playing cards or sipping cokes in the local saloon (The Donald doesn’t drink).

Trump is going to be exciting for a long period of time compared to 24 years of Hillary.

“I just want to get to know the guy ... we just don’t know each other,” Paul Ryno

But I’d like to get to know you (Yes I would)
But I’d like to get to know you (If I could)
But I’d like to get to know you

Finally I’ve found
Searching all around
Just was not the answer
One I thought was true
Looked a bit like you

What is this? Senior prom?

If Ryan accepts the fact the American people have spoken... it would be nice if Ryan could help unite the party under Trump...

Sounds like Ryan is doing the right thing.

No! No! You are doing it wrong! You are supposed to get your panties in a wad, scream that he is dead to you, and act all emotional like a standard liberal does.

Oh, wait, this board is supposed to be full of conservatives? Hmm.

Yes, it would be nice, but remember that would be a conflict of interest for Ryan.

His first and only loyalty is the same as the rest of them. They are funded and exist only to please their Globalist Masters.
