House GOP Warns Ryan To Back Trump
CNN ^ | May 11, 2016

Posted on 05/11/2016 10:49:30 AM PDT by Helicondelta

Rank-and-file House Republicans are urging Speaker Paul Ryan to get behind presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, warning his resistance could lead to the party fracturing rather than uniting if he withholds his endorsement.

"It makes it harder to unite," said Rep. Raul Labrador, an Idaho Republican and leader within the conservative House Freedom Caucus.

House Republicans met with Ryan Wednesday morning for the first time since the speaker told CNN's Jake Tapper he was not yet ready to endorse the presumptive nominee.

97% of Republians voted AGAINST Lindsey Graham.

Over 90% of Republicans voted AGAINST Jeb Bush.

Over 85% of Republicans voted AGAINST John Kasich.

Hey Paul Ryan - VOTERS REJECTE THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT.

If you can't back Trump, step down Paul... down from the convention and take your quislings with you. Bust up the party and WE won't vote for ANY GOPe types. Ever. We were the base that added over a thousand Republicans in the last 8 years... and for our effort you and your cronies gave us NOTHING. It's why we're in revolt. IT'S YOUR FAULT Paul Ryan..

Don't blow this opportunity Paul... BACK THE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE: DONALD TRUMP

It is a great idea, and it is a great way to get Congressional candidates to agree to the Trump agenda. Those that don’t agree with the contract are identified as globalists/GOPe. When Trump wins, he will have a mandate to do those things and can strongarm the holdouts.

Let us not forget that Ryan’s good friend and running mate, Mitt Romney, has been the spearhead behind several recent Trump attack ads. Meaning, Ryan has probably been behind the scenes with Romney to help script and plan Trump’s demise.

^^ for Ryan to immediately endorse Trump would be a kick to Romney’s behind. Shouldn’t be any big surprise here.

“There wouldn’t be a “Speaker Ryan” if the so-called Freedom Caucus didn’t cave. They also didn’t fight the budget. You think maybe they’ve been getting some phone calls from back home?”

People better learn that just because a candidate says he is ‘Tea Party’ doesn’t mean he is. No one is vetting these ‘tea party candidates’ like Rubio, et al. There are scammer lobbyist out there running ‘tea parties’ who are anything but.

Hit the link (”ONE SINGLE DISTRICT”) on my post. The guy was only “chosen” by 182,316 citizens. The rest of the ‘citizens’ did chose someone else. I’m only trying to correctly point out that RYAN was not “chosen” by 700,000 citizens.

“He was Gingrich “ right hand man” when they wrote the first one. He doesn’t have to be involved with the final product but pick his brain to see how the initial outline was formed”

Know who actually wrote the Contract with America? Grover Norquist. That’s why there was not ONE word against BAD trade or illegal immigration. It was just another propaganda item to make conservatives believe these K ST owned politicians actually gave a damn.

“I see Donald Trump as the second best United States President after Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln freed American Slaves, and Trump will - essentially - free American welfare slaves.”

Lincoln? Lincoln freed SOME of the slaves as a military move while trying his best to destroy the Indian. Free speech wasn’t one of his favorites either and he jailed journalists and others who opposed him.

It’s time for everyone to fall in and support the presumptive nominee.

Clearly the congresscritters have been hearing from their constituents to get in line behind Trump or they are toast.
