Paul Ryan's Treason
Frontpagemag.com ^ | June 21, 2016 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 06/21/2016 3:52:41 AM PDT by Biggirl

In an awkward interview with the Huffington Post, House Speaker Paul Ryan threatened to sue Donald Trump if he were to ban Muslim immigration or build a border wall with Mexico. Considering the current track record of suing Obama over abuses of power, this is little more than a confession of impotence. And yet it’s deeply troubling that a top Republican is willing to go to such lengths to fight for Muslim migration or for that matter illegal immigration in general.

Why is Cruz even being discussed in this thread?

Cruz is being discussed because his refusal to endorse Trump equates to getting on the same train Ryan is on and finding "sensible" ways to help others decide that Trump isn't worth backing and that will result in some thinking they can thwart the will of the People by shenanigans at the Convention. If that happens, Cruz likely has some small hope that he may be the beneficiary of such manipulation.

Jumping on board with those who would weaken Trump against Hilary now is akin to treason in the Party - anything less than an actual and timely endorsement, weakens Trump - the rest is sedition at the candidate level..

Missed on and adding it here - it is a very strong honorable mention:

Ryan and Cruz sitting in a tree
T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y .......
Their greasy sludge
And their slimy garbage
Must be flushed with all their GOPee sewage!

This is my choice for winner even though the second "starter" line had to be scrapped to make it work:

I couldn’t make it work with tyranny. How’s this:

Ryan and Cruz sitting in a tree,
Doing all they can for Hillary.
First they lie,
Then they cheat,
But in November she gets beat.
Honorable Mention: Ryan and Cruz sitting in a tree
One took the shot
The other slit free
T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y .......

And finally, the clueless who seems to believe that such talk is "cra-a-zy" (unless I really misinterpreted):

>>Cruz sitting in a tree T-Y-R-A-N-N-Y .......<<

...That’s what makes you cra-a-zy.

It would all depend on how Cruz handled the endorsement. If he mustered all the eloquence, brilliance and debate chops his supporters insist he has, and made the world’s strongest case against Hillary, he’d have his supporters’ attention. Then if he used equal persuasion to argue that Trump is the only practical/doable way to stop Mrs. Clinton, he’d surely hand Trump a big boost.

But the time is NOW. Every day that goes by harms Cruz’ reputation further. If he wants to be a factor in saving the country from Hillary/destruction, he has to get off the dime NOW.

"Ryan is the CHOICE of the GOP. He represents their TREASON, their COVERUP of Benghazi, and their initiation of arming al Qaeda and the IRS."

Well...It only makes sense doesn't it... I mean, why wouldn't the liberal, commie dimocraps infiltrate the republican party.?? Even to the very top of the organization...

If you look at some small time dimocrap senator or congressmen stuck in the rank and file, he probably couldn't get a whole lot done... But, get a quisling on the other side and BAM..!! Now you can really rake in the chips make some progress for the commie, "Progressive cause.."

Seems pretty obvious to me... All we have to do is except the facts when see them and act accordingly... Throw the bum out.!!

MHO.....

For the record, I don’t think Cruz will endorse Trump while it actually matters. Ted is still hoping for a ‘’miracle’ at the convention. Needless to say, the kind of miracle he wants would spell doom (Hillary) for the rest of us.

Paul Ryan seems to have cut a deal to run in 2020.

the effete elites were going to give this to hllary then Ryan was to be “having his turn” in 2020 but those pesky voters screwed it all up.

” That said, Trump is actually a major shareholder of Goldman Sachs, so why does he get a pass?

He is NOTHING OF THE KIND!! Forbes broke down ALL of Trump’s assets in their magazine 2 months ago. This is PURE B.S.

According to Forbes, he owns NO publicly-traded stock. GS is on the NYSE. Just pure crapola : )

How about this - Remember Empower America

William Bennett Vin Weber Jack Kemp So other coorporate raider

Ryan worked for these folks. I sometimes wonder if there was something that unholy was formed out of that group - I recall Limbaugh was a big advocate or at least they were advertisers on his show.

In the middle of the Prop 187 illegal immigration fight back in 1994, Jack Kemp and Bill Bennett flew out to California and sided with the illegal aliens against the voters of California.

“Eight of the Republican presidential hopefuls, Trump, Cruz, Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Chris Christie, and Jim Gilmore said in financial disclosures that were largely filed between June and August last year that they had owned Goldman funds or Goldman stock, and in some cases both. The disclosures mostly cover the period from the beginning of 2014 to the middle of last year.”

Citation: http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/not-just-ted-cruz-most-gop-candidates-have-financial-ties-to-goldman-sachs/

“Citibank, in particular, played a major role in one of the Trump’s organization’s more notorious bankruptcies, when the Trump Plaza Hotel in Atlantic City was underwater and Trump owed over $550 million on it to various creditors, with Citibank at the head. In order to restructure his debt, Trump gave Citibank and other creditors a 49% ownership interest in the hotel.

As for Goldman Sachs, Trump is himself a shareholder in Goldman Sachs, which means he has a direct financial interest in its success. One would think that would make Trump even less enthusiastic about protecting me from Goldman Sachs (whatever that means) than Cruz would.

There is essentially not a major Wall Street entity that Donald Trump or his companies have not taken out loans from or received financing from. In fact, that’s more or less his entire business model. This lengthy ABC piece details how each and every one of them has at one time been circling Trump or his companies as they have been left holding the bag for all or part of loans he took out from them.”

Just like the Jap soldiers who didn't get the memo that WWII was over, these butt-hurt CruzBots just can't help
themselves, which is why a nuclear *ZOT* should be just over the horizon and heading this way ...
