No. Let the states decide. Hopefully he did this just so he could move forward.
We have good options in Kelli Ward and Nehli.

The elites are already knocking Trump this morning-”He wasn’t humble enough in his endorsement.” It didn’t gain him anything.

He should have stayed out of the primaries and let the people decide.

So the ‘Art of the Deal’ was done...he would endorse Ryan for the TTP not to go through and this is why Cruz is now upset with Ryan because he and Ryan worked together writing the TTP bill...makes all the sense in the world...

We have to unite the party to keep Hillary out of the White House and if Trump had to shoot 50 people on 5th Ave. in broad daylight in New York City to do it, I would be standing right beside him!!!

“Trump needs to lose or win on his own unwatered down message”

Losing is not an option. Trump needs to win which is why he did what was necessary last night. Politics is not always fun. Ryan, McCain and Ayotte serve at the pleasure of their state constituencies who will either re-elect them or not. I don’t see Trump watering down his message whatsoever. I see him striving for party unity so as not to give the MSM any further fodder for smearing the campaign.

Go Bruce Go!!!

we need a party of all the dropout personality types like the poster. It will have millions of members and, in the end, only a few.

Glad to see some sanity on this long thread!

Are all the anti-Trump posters here in full force?!

Simple minded people write simple minded comments...so much anxiety over NOTHING!

I personally think the move is clever - puts Ryan on the defense along with that pos Mccain, they look like even bigger jerks if they continue to fight against him.

>But Ryan is still Speaker though. If Trump wins, how will he get his agenda passed?

Ha! Very funny. As if Ryan and (e) are going to allow the cheap labor express to derail in the 1st place.

I suspect Trump will find out he’s going to need to ‘play’ like Zero: run roughshod over the bunch, let them hem and haw....then shut up about it.

Not as if we need example, but I think we’re going to see how VERY *slow* the wheels of change in D.C. can turn if Trump is elected.

And Nehlen himself understood exactly what Trump was doing and still supports him!

My gut reaction to many situations is sometimes less than wise. It is hard to accept the practical necessity of accepting what is the wiser course such as politics often confronts us with. Your dad and pastor have the knowledge which comes from experience and the wisdom of age which puts both to good use. Knowledge is not wisdom but it helps on the road to getting there. Or not! Best wishes on your journey.

Your vanity has accomplished a lot in giving a place for people to vent and discuss. Congratulations.

I can’t figure it out, either. It has been known for sometime that Ryan is an open borders RINO.

Maybe until this year he has not had a credible of well funded challenger. Nehlen has a really good chance to pull this out. He has been hammering Ryan with ads educating the district on Ryan’s treachery and those appearances he made in front of Ryan’s wall had to leave a mark.

He gave Ryan a good shaft earlier in the week by throwing Ryans delay words back at him but he had to do this. He’s had an awful week and needed to change the story. It means nothing in the long run.

Thanks for the wake up call. I let my temper get the best of me again. I’m ok now and still on the Trump train.

I agree, I was hasty and childish. Won’t happen again.
