Trump endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan; Expresses support for McCain and Ayotte...

> And thus it begins, the compromisation of Trump.

I don’t think so. He’s paying lip service to the GOPe, all the while making sure everybody knows what he REALLY thinks.

He’s playing them like a fiddle.

[Maudeen]

He just lost any enthusiasm I had for his candidacy. What a sellout to try to squelch the primaries. I hope the voters of Arizona and Wisconsin do the right thing. Business as usual in this country will mean goodbye to America and hello “world.”

Trump does best when he is running against the Establishment. Trump needs to make Ryan publicly kiss the ring. He needs to come out for the wall now. And act like he means it.

[central_va]

There is nothing wrong in waiting until AFTER the primary. I am voting for Trump no matter what. It doesn’t mean I won’t call a spade a spade. Trump threw Nehlen under the bus. I hope he made a good deal because that would be a shame if he gets NOTHING out of it.

——Trump needs to make Ryan publicly kiss the ring——

Just wondering....how does Trump make Ryan do anything?

Even as POTUS...

Especially kiss his ring?

[VictoryGal]

> Trump is no different than Hillary now!!!

You gotta be freakin kidding me!!!! Seriously?

[Duchess47]

I expect Nehlen and Trump had a meeting of the minds over this. I think Trump was instrumental in Palin and Coulter supporting Nehlen and I won’t be at all surprised if he wins.

[Randy Larsen]

Am I serious? you bet I am. I’m sick of republican’s selling out! Ryan never helped Trump not one iota and now Trump is helping his sorry ass, I see the truth now. Trump is selling out to the GOPE!

[Lagmeister]

Nehlen will win or lose on his own merits.... just like Trump. All the candidates that endorsed Trump after shredding him for months were accepted by Trump as being back in the fold. Was Trump a traitor for accepting them or just making the right strategic moves. This is nothing more than the flip side of that coin. Get over it. This will not change one vote but it will put Trump in a perfect deniability mode.

[Lagmeister]

Oh cram it.

[Lagmeister]

Somebody needs to hand Larsen a paper bag to breath into.

[dp0622]

Not smart enough to know if this was a good or bad move.

But I’m voting for him just like you! :)

What’s done is done anyway.

Trump!!

[Lagmeister]

Got your I’m with her button on.

[donna]

Me, too.

Soros loves McCain.

[Maudeen]

Look at how the charlatan - not to mention names - and the establishment liars were all laid bare. I don’t know if Trump is going to win or whether God’s ‘Will’ is simply that we learn from this. But this certainly has a Biblical lesson unfolding.

Unless Trump is truly seeking God’s Will all is for naught. I’m rather skeptical of this decision.. . Hope I am wrong. Maybe Nehlen vs Ryan will have a David vs Goliath ending.

Unless Trump is truly seeking God’s Will all is for naught

God works through saved and sinner alike. God could easily be leading both Trump and the country to a moment of redemption. As we know, you should pray that God's 'Will' be done - to stay in the 'Spirit'... but it will be done anyhow.

“If I hear things that I think distort conservatism, that disfigure our values ... I’m going to defend ourselves so people in this country don’t get a misperception about who we are and what we believe in,” he said. “I’ve had to do that from time to time, certainly more than I’ve wanted to.”

---

Ryan is using the same tactics as left. He’s lumping all opposition to him in with White Supremacists. If you oppose me you are racist. If there was any doubt that Paul Ryan is a progressive it is gone now.

[Ancesthntr]

Spot on!

I’m tired of the internecine fighting - we’re very close to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I agree, it is time to unify, defeat the Wicked Witch, and worry about relatively minor differences between ourselves later.

[bobsunshine]

Excellent point and totally agree. Trump needs all the support he can get to bet Hillary. Sometimes when trying to achieve your goal, you have to make concessions. If Ryan wins, he wins. If Ryan loses, he still wins because he supported him.

Another note to all so you feel better and disregard the polls. For the Maine rally the other day, on the Youtube link, close to 30,000 people were viewing it live. WOW !

So I went back to the Jacksonville rally and over 147,000 have viewed the rally as of today. I compared that to the one Hillary did about the same time with Warren Buffet and the other one with Mark Cuban. Those rallies had total views of 46,000 and 27,000. That is a YUGE difference.

The support is there for Trump even though the polls don't properly reflect it.

Never give up, Never Surrender!!!

[ErikJohnsky]

neah, I think Trump was just threatening them that they better not go all open borders on him when he gets to office.

He’d better be careful tho, that if Paul Ryan wins his primary, that Ryan doesn’t turn around an unendorse him as gratitude.
