I think we have been shafted again.

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!

***************************************
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.

Trump endorsed Ryan because Ryan is ahead by 66 points. If Ryan won by such a margin without Trump’s endorsement, it would make it look like Trump’s endorsement doesn’t matter. It would make Trump look non-influential and unimportant. That’s why he endorsed him.

Eh.

He has to put the feud behind him and get back on message.

Ryan was going win anyway.

It’s a strategic move, nothing more. He is the bigger man. Now, no one can blame him for their possible primary defeat. Another beautiful move by Trump.

Trump is not a politician and it shows. This was a dumb move. He is now getting bad advice for sure. There is no way to sugar coat it he threw Nehlen under the bus.

Donald get rid of your establishment hack advisors now.

If he got the #NT asswipes to shut up and work forhis election, I will take it. Nothing matters if the Witch wins.

It looks like Trump is just choosing his battles with care. When you are already being lied about by the DNC and the media you really don’t need more open attacks from the GOPe. Newter fired a couple of shots across Trump’s bow this week. The message was received and Trump avoided fighting on a third front for now.
If we do our job Ryan will not be there in January.

Here is my take. You can’t be distracted by the varmints when you are hunting a trophy. You only have so much ammunition. Time to refocus!

Like it or not Trump needs the party to get elected.

Or, at the very least he needs them to fly air cover for him instead of Clinton.

At best it's a marriage of convenience for all.

“I think we have been shafted again.

OH stop it, for goodness sake. Trump is momentarily bowing to political expediency in order to present a semblance of a unified party in order to win the Presidency. We’ve been out of power for the past 8 years, if you haven’t noticed. Once Trump wins, he won’t have to kiss *ss anymore, and believe me he won’t. He’ll be in the catbird seat then and if Ryan or McCain, or Ayotte cross him when he is Pres, it will be at their own peril. He’ll be able to take the gloves off and let them have it. So, bottom line, don’t get your pants in a bunch. We win first, and then payback to GOPe RINOs comes later and Trump is very good at holding a grudge. He’s filed these 3 RINOs into his memory bank, and will exact his revenge at the appropriate time.

Trump cannot win this without the RNC; the RNC isn’t going to help Trump if he doesn’t endorse Ryan.

The bottom line is Trump will need Congress to pass legislation and get his agenda through. Like it or not he cannot do it all by himself.

I think Donald Trump got something for us out of this Ryan endorsement. He does not approach this campaign as a sport. There is a Republic to rescue from annihilation and Trump is exactly the candidate to do the job. He is battling the MSM, Republicans who get scared over everything he does or says if it does not align with their own take on matters. And there are the GOPe who are already in league with the democrats and doing their best to throw this election to Clinton. Etc and Etc. Trump has shown his colors, red, white and blue. America and Americans first. Time for his supporters to show their colors.

Trump did what he had to do to try to pull this party together to fight the big war - against Hillary

I hate it.
I hate it.
I hate it.

But I understand why he did it. This is all for naught if DJT doesn’t win in November.

Before the primary, no one out of state should endorse these candidates.

It is up to the people of Arizona to vote/not vote for McCain.

As an Arizonan, I’m insulted and beaten down by outsiders who want to run our lives.

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

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.
