I have followed politics since I was five years old, and at times worked on political campaigns. I have never witnessed such a Internecine War as I am now with the GOP. The closet thing to this may have been Senator Eugene McCarthy in 1968 when he ran his anti-war campaign against LBJ.
The Political Insiders, GOPe, and the inside the beltway consultants are determined, it seems, to destroy the party rather than have Trump as the nominee, who could very well win.
All this does is confirm what most of us have seen saying for a long time now, the entire political system is corrupt and probably beyond redemption.
The respect for the Constitution and Black Letter Law is gone. When you have a Hillary Clinton running for president who has broken one law after another with no consequence then where are we as a nation? One that is lost and will remain lost. Ethics, Morality, Respect, Common Decency, Common Sense, and our Moral Foundation seems to be eroding away and we are too busy to seem to care.
In many ways this is the last stand. To let Hillary and her Ilk win will probably mean no turning back till the collapse comes and this country breaks apart into sections.
So if the Republican Party at the last minute changes the rules on Donald Trump then it's game over. We will watch and the country will become a one party Socialist State.
I despise that little jackass, who will NEVER be president.
He thinks he’ll just step up as the latest Jeb and get elected.
What an idiot. He’s not going to beat Hillary running as an incumbent.
A Trump loss triggered by GOP malfeasance would clear the decks alright. There would be so few left in the party that the Democrats would sweep the elections at all levels. There wouldn’t even be a republic doc catcher in any swing state.
Yankee Catholic lib for all intensive purposes
Open borders for that reason
Good works
No offense but he’s on record saying that’s exactly why he’s open borders
So many excellent and insightful posts — I will just reiterate what has been more eloquently expressed previously —
If the Open Borders crowd wins this election, it is over.
The Republican branch of the Democratic-Republican Party will cease to exist as will US sovereignty.
Pablo Ryan can throw as much money at Puerto Rico and his phony poverty programs as he wants — he will never be President of the US or what is left of it in the next four to eight years.
See the EU?
The new empowered OAS will make it look like a debating society.
There will be nothing worth winning by 2020 if Clinton is allowed to win this time. The Supreme Court will be lost to the radical left. The Bill of Rights will be functionally abolished. The border will be non-existent. The voter rolls will be lopsidedly filled with willing serfs. Ryan’s a traitor, plain and simple; willing to burn the country down just so he can preserve his personal position.
Any name who dumped on Trump an kiss their chances hereafter, good bye. Any one of them can’t win without the base and the base is ticked.. very ticked.. at them. No chance for them in 2020. If they have their way, there’d be no country by 2020.
Did the thought ever cross their minds that if they backed Trump enthusiastically, they might get those same votes next time there was a vacancy in that office? Really dumb and really not thinking this through. It’d do them good to get out among the people and ask questions! It’d do them and us more good if they resigned... went home for good!
If Trump loses there will be no 2020 for the Republic. Perhaps there will be a 2020 for the Oligarchy but there will be no Republic and no middle class and no Constitution. The experiment in freedom will be at an end. Ryan will have a comfortable place in the New State, at least until the advent of the Show Trials.
the easiest way to lose my vote in four years is to not be supportive of the republican candidate. if Paul Ryan plays this game he will be as popular as Jeb Bush four or eight years from now.
I loathe this vulgar queer Ryan.
A few months ago I would have been thrilled to vote for Paul Ryan after Trump served his eight years...
Today Ryan would be one of the list of ‘last people in the world I would EVER vote for... for anything.
May the darling of the TEA Party Speaker Ryan, choke on his bacon-wrapped shrimp!!!
I’ll donate to ANYONE who runs against this traitorous, wormy piece of ****!
I won’t vote for any neoconservative or RINO ever again
Talk about dense...Romney and Ryan are lead heads.
Romney and Ryan = two large heaps of human excrement.
These two turds are both to arrogant, or stupid to know that they are dead on arrival as far as the conservative base is concerned.
They are both to ignorant or delusional to understand that they would never get enough of the Indies or democrats to get them elected.
Doesn’t surprise me on bit.
Why Ryan doesn’t realize if Hillary is elected, there will be no 2020 for the USA.
