Looks like Trump has done a 180 and is now main stream republican.
I and my wife will vote for him but that's it, no more money, no more work, no more anything but one vote each on November 8, 2016.
I am still not voting for Bruce Poliquin!
Go, Trump, GO!! On, Wisconsin!!
Trump is now the full-throated leader of the Republican Party, and he needs first to win this election and second, have a Republican Congress that will implement his legislative agenda. He needs their support right now, so Trump will supportbthem, unify the party, and meet the new boss.
Payback starts next year.
What he just did was a “Reagan Selects GHW Bush”. In other words, he did what he was told to do.
IMO it’s not appropriate to endorse one republican over the other. But what he did was worse. He endorsed the “problem”.
Many of those who voted for him are becoming very disappointed and some are so disillusioned they’ll stay home on election day. At the very least it will kill any momentum he had.
And McCain and the rest will continue to bash him.
I just can’t allow myself to get too excited about all of this. Because I can’t make myself believe in the system. It’s way too corrupt. But I can always rationalize and say he’s doing this because he knows he’ll need them once he’s president.
He wasn’t going to pull a Cruz on Ryan. Ryan though tepid did endorse Trump at the convention. The initial stall was to get Ryan to understand if he wants presidential access then get in line.
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.
This may have been a smart move on Trump’s part. I’ll bet he has seen internal polls and knows who is going to win. As President, he cannot alienate people in his own party and expect to get anything done. Even though they have fought him, this puts them on the spot.
TRUMP just check mated the rhinos, the media and the trump critics.
We can either be thrilled he continues to fight and denounce rhinos ...or he can win the ELECTION. Not both. He doesn’t need freepes or the people at his rallies.
The only people that count now Are the sliver of independents.
Way too soon to tell. He could support them to the election, and then marginalize them out of office after winning the presidency.
Barf
Oh, well, nobody’s perfect
Horrible.
Now I know how the Bernie people felt when he bent his knee to Hillary. This man spent the primaries running against the establishment. He ran against it, and he didn’t care what the establishment had to say. He was loyal to people who were loyal to him. John McCain and Paul Ryan have done nothing but say they’ll vote for Trump but trash him any chance they get. They have policy differences and will be a thorn in his side in my opinion. He had people like Ward and Nehlen who are against the establishment and who have defended him for months when the establishment was attacking him. It will take no time at all for them to run back to the media the next time Trump says something the media finds controversial or to trash him behind closed doors to their high powered donors and establishment friends. This was a very disappointing move, and Reince (who should be neutral as head of the GOP, Newt, Rudy, Pence, Manafort, and others shouldn’t have gotten to him. You know when you endorse them? Endorse them if they win their primary.
That’s it, I’m voting Hillary, said no real Conservative ever.
There is something going on for Trump to do this, what I don’t know, but he has always been a Gentleman, he talked with the GOP in Washington twice and none of them said a word about supporting Trump...now Trump extends the ‘olive branch’ being the Gentleman he is and was brought up to be, he’s not running ‘against’ these people, he is running ‘against the Clinton Machine’ and maybe this is one way to gather the ‘insiders’ together, or maybe by endorsing RINO RYAN and the others, they will lose...could happen...
What ever his reason, I do NOT doubt his decisions, never have for a year and won’t start now...
Next comes the “Immigration compromise”.
Polls I saw indicated Ryan has no problem winning. Trump can’t cut off his nose. We need unity and backing a loser won’t get us there. He obviously didn’t want to do this but there are way bigger issues at stake.
When it comes to trump, like I said in a earlier post, I hope I'm wrong but I smell a rat...
Ain't no way he should have endorsed the quisling know as Ryan....
I think trump will change his principles as fast as he changes his hat..!
To win at politics, you have to play the game.
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...
In Trump’s words tonight: “we have to unite.”
Not a great day, but sometimes you lose the battle to win the war.
Where’s the puke bucket?
Meanwhile...
