May not be that bad. He’s smart. Keep enemy close... Rule over them. He knows what they are. I pray it so, anyway.

Nehlen’s classy response is perfect

Bet you Nehlen had a head's up!! Probably a private phone call. This is what I have been suggesting. It is all too perfect!!

The people in WI-01 can always use the nuclear option and vote for the Dem in Nov.

Nehlen is a long shot but what if he DOES win? How will Donald look then?

You can’t say that he has done a 180 or betrayed us.
He may have something up his sleeve. We don’t know.

This is about winning in November and he needs the support.

He still hates Ryan and McShame.

He’s not an army of one and the media were chewing him apart, as well as the pary, regarding him not endorsing them.

It was good business. Not personal. One bad senator winning vs. one bad sociopath being the next POTUS?!

I’ll take the former.

He also needs money for commercials even though new mediums and his frequent coverage have offset it until now.

The last 3 weeks, having 100m to blow across swing states will pay off.

[ Don’t you get it.... McCain or even Ryan might go down. They could try to blame it on Trump. But hey! Trump endorsed them. Get it?]
Unfortunately many here in FR DON’T get it!! They can’t think beyond the surface, and lose the depth of the true intention and result. And are ready to give up and jump off of a clip.
While many of us here on FR are thinking like and understanding the way the chess game it being played, others here are still struggling to take the plastic wrap off of their checkers box...”

I get all you said. I understand the optics, but I want people to be what they claim to be and not play games.

He didn’t have to endorse anyone and piss off his supporters. It’s the primary, not the general. He listened to the DC Beltway crowd instead. If his supporters don’t get the “game” then he loses his supporters and loses the game. It doesn’t matter if he is the smartest man in the room.

Another thing is I don’t think they thought about Cruz jumping in with his non-endorsement. Lots of Cruz supporters will be wondering if they are backing the right candidate. Cruz will be siphoning off Trump supporters that won’t bother to vote.

The only thing that is good is that Ryan’s primary is Tuesday. We will know soon how this plays out.

The media THINKS it is chewing Trump apart. Actually Trump supporters are doing just fine. If Trump starts to go establishment it’s over.

I feel bad for Paul Nehlen, he worked his butt off for Trump. And so did Dr. Kelli Ward in Arizona in trying to unseat McCain.

This is not a Trump 180, this is a big FU to those guys and the whole media story. Ryan and McCain particularly are slimebag hypocrites and all of this endorsement stuff makes them look like the garbage that they are. This move by Trump is just a BTTT to keep making them look like jerks.

>I am glad to hear this. Do you really think Trump can win when he is only getting 72-75 percent of Republicans?
Well, he can’t. He needs 90+ percent of Republicans, and to win with independents. He is winning independents, but is bleeding Republicans. He needs to turn this around.
>I think Ryan is a horrible speaker, but he will most certainly win on Tuesday.
Like it or not, Ryan has a lot of supporters, and Trump needs their votes.
You can’t have public feuds without angering the people who support them.
It’s same way Trump supporters will jump to his defense. You go after another Republican, you will most likley lose some of their supporters.

You make some exelent points.

And it’s just another way of saying to these guys and the media, “I’m a rolling train, I don’t need your punk-a$$ to vouch for me.”

He’s a sharp guy but nobody can do it alone.

“Trump is being the bigger man in this issue. He’s extending the hand of peace.”

To shake the hand of Devils. That has never worked, and it never will. You can’t play both sides.
