Paul Ryan: House Republicans should vote ‘conscience’ on Donald Trump
Fox 6 Now ^ | 06/17/2016 | CNN Wire Service

WASHINGTON — Speaker Paul Ryan said House Republicans should not betray their conscience when it comes to backing their party’s presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.

“The last thing I would do is tell anybody to do something that’s contrary to their conscience. Of course I wouldn’t do that,” he told NBC News’ Chuck Todd in an upcoming episode of “Meet the Press” airing Sunday.

Speaker Paul Ryan said House Republicans should not betray their conscience when it comes to backing their party’s presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.

I would guess that House Republicans who cannot decide whether to support Donald Trump are getting advice from Hillary, Obama, and Democrats.

Maybe they should actually listen to what Trump has to say, and not accept what they have been told by the MSM.

Or, could it be that they are unable to make a decision because they do not know whether their constituents would approve? Are these the kind of representatives that you want?

I’d like to vote my conscious on you, you rat bastard little maggot traitor.


The GOP elite are so arrogant and myopic they think we won’t turn the tables on them. After all, turn about is fair play. Could get rough for the GOP down ticket in November.

Ryan should be quiet and bide his time. He does not have to say things now that might haunt him later.

Big difference between those two things, sadly!

Ryan, once the Great Conservative Hope, of the House, has turned out to be a weaselly little quisling, Boehner-clone, and McConnell imitation.

He’d rather surrender the field of battle to the Leftists/Marxists of the Democrat Party by default because he wants to attack Trump and millions of his patriot supporters for standing up for America.

If the Republicans lose the presidency, and perhaps the Senate, then it is all over for the Republican Party.

It will be time for a new, stalwart politically/ideologically primed political party to take on and destroy our domestic enemies, the Democrats, the Greens, cowardly Libertarians, and what is left of the GOP.

It should be inclusive, with the only requirements being US citizenship, no extremist/racist wackos, having patriotism as a virtue, not a vice, and a desire to help America survive and regain its internal freedom and world leadership position.

Time to put aside issues such as pro or anti-abortion, pro or anti-sexual orientation, isolationism, residual racism, anti-Semitism or any other hateful views of decent people, and anything else that divides us which Obama has used so successfully for the past 8 years.

We need an united America, for as they say, there are no pacifists in a battlefield trench, only Americans. Their blood is red; their flag, red, white and blue.

United we stand, or, if divided (as Alinsky, Coward-Pivens, Marx, Lenin, Stalin and Obama have promoted) we fall.

Nehlen is not openly supporting Trump either. He never mentions his name.

Ryan is a TRAITOR!. If not to his country(Argueable) then to his Party(obviously) since Trump has the support of millions of Republicans from middle of the road to conservative and on to Libertarian. Ryan...you’re fired!


Ryan doesn’t want our support. He’s firing US. It’s like a business that fires it’s “worst” customers. Ryan is wishing conservatives go away so he can run a progressive GOP. They laid out this planned move left in the 2010 autopsy. It’s no secret.

I think the Eddie Munster look alike is plotting to usurp the convention and have the delegates vote him in.

Ryan wants conservatives to leave the party. Then he can elect all the corportists he wants to from safe GOP districts. If Ryan wants Cloward-Piven, I say give it to him. Let’s stay in the party and become his worst nightmare.

You are right. Nehlen was asked at least 3 times on the Howie Carr show in Boston to support Trump & he would not. Just so people don’t go investing too much hope in these people. I still want Nehlen to win,

That does seem to be the case. Trump’s problem is Ryan has 100% top cover from the MSM and is untouchable at the moment. The silence from the House “conservative” wing in regards to Ryan’s assaults on Trump is deafening. I thought they were better than the Senate GOP but apparently not.

If the House Republicans had a conscience to begin with, we wouldn’t be in the situation we find ourselves today, now would we?

It seems to be the entire beltway GOP. You can count on one hand the number of patriotic elected Senators & Reps defending Trump against this onslaught. How pathetic is that?
