With the crowds I've seen Mr. Trump draw, I doubt they will be missed. There are few there who came to see these clowns. THEY are there only due to the fact Mr. Trump is there with his straight talk, truth. The Globalists would only defeat their agenda by standing on that same stage. Ryan needs to buy a gold clothespin and learn how to use it; perhaps use his silver spoon in trade? TRiUMPh with TRUMP

We do see where their loyalties lie... and it is not for the good of the country they have sworn to serve. They are all turncoats and it makes Trumps election more important than ever. We are surrounded with these government leaches who live off the people they despise.

Trump should put three empty chairs noticeably on stage.

Maybe he could send his plane to pick up Clint Eastwood.

Stolkholm Syndrome. The GOPe have refused to acknowledge the obvious. The MSM is not fair and will never like anyone the GOPe nominates. They will engage in every tactic to destroy said candidate. Yet, cycle after cycle we see the same GOPe captives wanting desperately to please their captors by accepting the MSM’s narrative(lock, stock and barrel).

Trump may very well lose but I as long as he continues to plow through the usual tricks of the MSM, he has my support. Put differently, better to lose on your feet fighting than a sniveling coward.

ping Trump event, ctpsb wrote:
“Walker un fact made it a point to explaun that he will attend other Trump rallys”
Not so fast :
“Walker campaign spokesman Joe Fadness left open the possibility the governor would attend future Trump events. Walker spoke at a Waukesha rally last week with Pence.

Where are You posting from ? Hildabeast digs in Georgia, Florida, New Jersey ? Furthur creating feuds which Trump don’t need between Republicans ...???
Walker himself made this announcement today over a local tv station and it was followed up carried by local radio news.

I don't know when it was decided they were skipping if it was before or after Trump refused to endorse Ryan. If it was after, I can understand. If it was before, then that just further solidifies what Trump did. The media can't holler about party unity and then blame Trump when the others refuse to show up. That said, I don't know when they decided.

This guy is a gem:

Rep. Dale Kooyenga (R-Brookfield), a captain in the U.S. Army Reserves and Iraq War veteran, said Wednesday that he couldn’t endorse Trump.

Kooyenga said he was disturbed by Trump’s aggressive response to the Khan family, saying that the sacrifices of soldiers and their families should be treated with "reverence and respect and humility." Trump has criticized Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of fallen Gold Star Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who appeared at the Democratic National Convention last week. Trump implied that Ghazala Kahn may not have been allowed to speak because of her religion.

“We’re looking for statesmen, not politicians,” Kooyenga said.

That one statement impacted his endorsement? Okay. Sure.

While other Republicans were dodging the Trump event, state Sen. Frank Lasee of De Pere said he was going.

Lasee is running to replace retiring U.S. Rep. Reid Ribble, who has been critical of Trump for months. Lasee faces former Walker adviser Mike Gallagher in the Republican primary on Tuesday.

I'll be rooting for Lasee to win his primary!

Continuing to support the GOP in it’s current for will not advance any conservative goals.

Proven without a doubt back in 2005, when the GOP owned the Presidency (W), the House AND Senate...and did NOTHING to advance Conservatism. Instead, they pushed us azz-backwards.

We're at the precipice of a Hitlery Dictatorship and still this same back-stapping GOP Leaderships fights for the DEMOCRATIC AGENDA.

Demonic phonies, pretenders, traitors. NO TRUMP, NO NATION. NO FREEDOM.

Stolkholm Syndrome. The GOPe have refused to acknowledge the obvious.

OR, rather the alternative; GOPe reps are political chameleons, and DO understand and acknowledge the obvious. They are principle-less Vichy-Americans selling us out to whomever, whatever, for their 30 pieces of silver.

Yep. The GOP had congress and the presidency, and yet advanced absolutely no major conservative goals during that period.

Indeed, anything resembling a conservative goal is never enduring, but fleeting.

The GOP is either very bad at what it supposed to do, or it’s complicit in the ascendancy of liberalism. Either way, they must become extinct.

I suspect that when Trump said “I’m not there yet,” this event was to be the litmus test for a Trump endorsement of Ryan. No Ryan at the event, no endorsement.
