DJT got 77% of the R vote in West Virginia and that’s with 10% voting Bernie as a Hillary protest vote.

Where did you get that nonsense that 40% oppose?

Exactly. This is what’s needed to get the rest of the Republican electorate on board. Ryan knows it. Trump knows it.

Best any national movement could hope for regarding Ryan in the shorter term, would be to try to oust him as speaker... that’s a long shot as well, but you have a far better shot at that, than taking him out in the Primary in WI IMHO.

Nuts!

Murdoch was a big mover and shaker along with the Koch brothers and then there are those nameless hedge fund guys. Plus the Chamber of Commerce.

I wish that were the case. Ryan represents the donors and the GOPe.

isn’t that better than hunting you down and beating you into enlightenment and then submission?

Depends on who is doing the beating doesn't it?

Do you remember the last time we accepted unconditional surrender of an enemy?

"My way or the highway" doesn't resolve disagreements when there is a significant divide.

Guess you didn't notice the Iran Nuclear deal then.

Fox Biz is reporting that Boehner is supporting Trump now.

-—Ryan knows the only leverage he has against Trump is this endorsement
.
.
.
The endorsement from a senator who is behind in his primary (to an unknown named Nehlen) and who represents a district that Trump won. Add to that, the fact that many would have stayed at home and not voted at all due to Ryans omnibus approval, if it weren’t for Trump bringing in new voters and giving old voters new hope for change.

Not really the type of leverage I would rely on when going into a negotiation.

I reckon Trump explained to Ryan exactly what his positions were going to be over the next several months, and Ryan sat there wide eyed, tight lipped and said “yes sir”.

“Mr. Ryan, the next time I want your opinion, I’ll give it to you...”

Hahahahah Sorry but if you think Ryan is losing his primary I question what polls you’ve been reading.

You understand the U.S. and Iran are not the same team, no? Totally different scenario.

We never should have sat down at that table.

Personal attacks?

Really???

You make an incorrect statement, I point out that it’s incorrect, and you think that’s a personal ATTACK?!?!

You can’t be serious.

You were prescient in dragging out that subject.

it is current and the black wacko that is our president is going to japan to apologize for killing people to win and then by association for requiring unconditional surrender.

fortunately, since the man is black, the Japanese might not pay him any mind.

No they aren’t of course however if they aren’t pulled in there is 0 chance Trump wins without them.

And Trump should never set down at Ryan's table either. Glad we agree. :)

The losers believe they should be able to call the shots. And don’t be surprised if they do. They do not want Trump to win. And they’ll turn voters off by getting him to change to their way of thinking. And that’s pretending to support him.

You have no way to prove that my statement was incorrect, unless you have special powers to look into an alternate reality to see how Trump supporters reacted to Ryan’s endorsement. You can’t present any evidence to prove your claim. It’s merely your opinion.

That said, you went further than simply asserting that you believed my statement to be incorrect. You headed down the path of taunting.

As I asked earlier, don’t you have better things to do and contribute?
