Who's the conservative heretic, Mr. Speaker?

In his coquettish refusal to accept the Donald, Paul Ryan says he cannot betray the conservative “principles” of the party of Abraham Lincoln, high among which is a devotion to free trade.

But when did free trade become dogma in the party of Lincoln?

As early as 1832, young Abe declared, “My politics are short and sweet, like the old woman’s dance. I am in favor of a national bank … and a high protective tariff. These are my sentiments and political principles.”

Campaigning in 1844, Lincoln declared, “Give us a protective tariff, and we will have the greatest nation on earth.”

I won’t hold my breath for Ryan’s Congressional district in Wisconsin to primary him out either.

If they can't they need to vote for the democrat. A junior democrat can't possibly be as dangerous as a RINO House Speaker.

Understood. Ryan would do well to skip the convention altogether. He is a poster boy for why so many people hate the GOP.

Ryan is relying on the ignorance of the US public.

There was nothing ‘conservative’ about Lincoln. They were called ‘Radical Republicans’ back then. And Lincoln was quite fond of socialism and socialists.
