Woo-Hoo, it’s looking like 1994 again when we ousted Speaker of the House Tom Foley (D-WA) during the Gingrich revolution.
What’s his opponent at? Isn’t that kind of important too?
I would LOVE to see him destroyed, but I think the heading is a little premature, though headed in the right direction.
What’s up wth the rules there if nobody gets 50?
This will free him up so he can be Hillary’s running mate.
It is a very common technique of cult leaders and con men to separate their mark from his former associates, family and friends. By sowing distrust for the people in the mark’s pre-existing support network, the cult leader or con man gains power over the mark, and makes him more dependent and more easy to manipulate.
I am not going to say that Paul Ryan is perfect. No politician is perfect. But Paul Ryan is pretty good, and far better than most Republicans in Congress. If we toss Ryan aside just because he is insufficiently enthusiastic about Donald Trump, we are going to have to throw out 80% of the Republicans in Congress.
I will vote for Donald Trump. He is far better than the alternative, and may wind up being a good President. His opponent is a guaranteed disaster, so the choice is easy.
But I am not going to sign on to this obsession of Trump’s most ardent supporters to purify the Republican Party. Trump may be our nominee, but his is far my ideal of what a conservative Republican should be. I have no desire to remake the Republican Party in Trump’s image.
Click through to the article. Ryan is at 42%, but his opponent is 10% behind that. The website is from some European outlet that I never heard of. I have zero confidence in this report.
This is a Nothingburger.
424 respondents is not a lot of data to go on. I do hope Ryan loses, I can’t stand him.
They didn’t get the message when Eric Cantor got canned....I would like to see more of the moderate establish squishes gone. The dishonesty and treachery of the republican leadership deserves to be dealt with!!!
Besides his own idiocy he has that Romney stench on him...
Ryan is about to have a new rectal cavity bored by his constituants.
Cantorization is good for America.
Tee Hee!
If Ryan doesn’t get to 50% on Aug 9th, does that mean there will be a runoff?
Paul Ryan has nobody to blame, but himself. He sold out to the Democrats and now he is getting what he deserves: get defeated in the primary.
43 percent is large in a WI primary without runoffs.
Only two previous sitting Speakers lost their reelections, Tom Foley in 1994 and Galusha A. Grow in 1862.
Ryan would be the only Speaker to lose in the primary by his own party.
