The stream of down-ballot Republicans breaking with the Trump campaign over Mr. Trump's past vulgar language has now been capped by the notice from House speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) that "he will not defend or appear with" Mr. Trump, and that "rank-and-file" Republicans are on their own "to do what's best" in their districts. Ryan's counterpart in the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), for his part, is giving the presidential campaign controversy the silent treatment: "I don't have any observations about it." But The Hill observes: More than a dozen senators have either rescinded their support of the GOP nominee or called on him to step aside.

What is wrong with these people?
What PR did probably helped him in his race as grateful Dems will now support him. Of course he just pissed on literally every one else in the GOP.
Paul Ryan is the one who leaked the sex tape.
This needs to get out far and wide. Ryan (and co-conspirators) must be EJECTED from Congress!!! If this the GOP!
Top story in our local news rag.
And another day that nobody is talking about Hillary’s email.
FUPR!!!!
Trying to win the hearts and minds of Democrat voters. It won’t work though because Democrats already have their own candidates and are loyal to a party. Plus , never trust a traitor, even if he/she betrayed your enemy.
A house divided……Hillary’s ticket to the White House.
They’re just being loyal to their masters.
Ryan needs to be personally punished, but there are hordes of GOP out there that should be speaking out, but are doing what they have for the past 8 years - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
I hope so.
This party just needs to DIE already.
I don't any faith in this happening even if Trump wins, but he should be immediately removed from the speakership.
Of course many of us didn't want him to get it in the first place.
I just noticed a Drudge headline story. Looks like the media are really ratcheting up their propaganda attacks against Trump, almost hysterically so. They have declared the election over and will spend the rest of the time trying to establish their narrative.
And it looks like some Republicans such as Ryan and McConnell are working with them.
There is no telling how irrational they will get as the election draws near.
I hope he has an accident.
Everyone should personally contact their Senator or Congressman’s office to let them know that support for them on the ballot is dependent on whether they support Trump or not. I contacted Senator Burr’s office this morning and got the impression I was not the first to do so.

Ryan knows that if Trump is elected, his position will be untenable. He will be forced to resign and a much more committed conservative will take his place. Remember Ryan once said he did not want the job of Speaker but was pressured by Romney to take it so at the conservatives would be checked. Should have taken this weak man at his word.

That is why the GOP is called "The Stupid Party".
la raza ryan should be forced to resign today
He sure didn’t play that very well, did he. Quite lacking in strategery he is.
That’s eaxactly who it’s going to hurt. Most Trump supporters that I know are furious with Ryan and the other weasel who pulled their support from Trump and joined in democrat attacks all last weekend. They’re not going to forget this. I think most of them will not vote for any GOP candidate who participated in this attempted coup.
