Trump endorses House Speaker Paul Ryan; Expresses support for McCain and Ayotte...
*freezers = FReepers
Criticism can goes both ways. We’ll see if they run their mouths against Trump. Can they shut their GOPE mouths for 3 months until the electiom? We’ll find out who is the bigger man them or Trump.
And if they lose their primaries, GOPE can’t blame Trump for their loses.
We need the Presidency....and the House and Senate. Either you support your candidates or you’re forfeiting to the Dems.
I am shocked at the number of Freepers who are perfectly willing to lose the war in order to win a battle. In fact this isn’t even a battle it’s a minor skirmish.
Trump should have stayed out of a down ballot race. Ryan didn’t ask for his endorsement, didn’t want it. Ignore Ryan and beat Clinton.
This could be a very close race where Wisconsin’s electoral votes matter. He did what he had to do, and he proved he can be pragmatic when he needs to be. Get on message - beat Clinton. He can, and will fight Ryan another day. He has to beat Clinton before getting into policy fights with Republicans on the hill. There will be plenty of time for that, but only if he beats Clinton.
To win at politics, you have to play the game.
Brilliant summary.
In what universe did you think the REPUBLICAN nominee would NOT work with the party to win the election ???
Hello, Trumps is running as a republican, not an independent..
Anybody not think Trump does not need the party apparatus to win???
He's making a deal...
Stop acting like he kicked your puppy...
I hope all of you are right.
Love the quote! Shall we distribute diapers now to some of these freepers or leave them at the exit door for pickup?
Well you know what?
It’s crunch time, and these people are holding some important cards that they are playing, and those cards are the GOP not completely going all in for Hillary.
These guys can be felt with later once Trump wins.
Right now we have a candidate, and not the president yet.
In Trump’s words tonight: “we have to unite.”
Not a great day, but sometimes you lose the battle to win the war.
BUMP!
That’s what Pence is for, negotiating with Republicans on the Hill and hopefully breaking ties in the Senate.
“To win at politics, you have to play the game.”
Especially considering that for over a year he has upended it. He is due a bit of minor courtesies to these snakes to keep them off his heels.
The further endorsements are for the same reasons plus to undercut the MSMs narrative of fragmentation in the Republicans infighting interventions etc. Now is time to unify.
Stop the BS calling Trump out. I call you posters out whose support seems to be easily compromised. He is showing he is a man and not engaging in infantile payback like Cruz pulled.

Party unity? Like this from Ryan?

A religious test for entering our country is not reflective of America's fundamental values. I reject it.
He doesn’t need Arizona. My question is “What has McCain done for veterans in the past week?”
Where’s the puke bucket?

Looks like Trump has done a 180 and is now main stream republican.
***************************************
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.
