Poll: Paul Ryan's Approval Collapses, More GOP Voters Say Trump
Townhall.com ^ | 10/21/16 | Matt Vespa

Justin wrote about the hostile reception to Speaker Of The House Paul Ryan from Trump supporters at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Chants of “Paul Ryan sucks” were shouted, but is this an isolated incident? That is, is this just a representation of Trump supporters from the local area? No—not really. The latest polling shows that support for Ryan has collapsed, sinking 28 points…in a week. The YouGov poll had some interesting points concerning Ryan, Trump, and the brewing tensions that seem bound to erupt in civil war once this election is over.

Allahpundit noted that Ryan is experiencing the Ted Cruz treatment from his own side by refusing to campaign with Trump, though he hasn’t yanked his endorsement, which rightfully leaves some people wondering why this late in the game would anyone just stop supporting Trump. For starters, the Access Hollywood tape isn’t a deal breaker with many Republican voters, but it is one with almost a quarter of independents, who Trump needs to win over in order to win this election. Another interesting find in the crosstabs about Ryan is that most Republicans, despite their increasing dislike of him, view him as the leader of the GOP, not Trump:

Control of the Senate will be important for President Trump. Although I am not a resident of NH, and although I think Kelly Ayotte is a backstabber and a Liberal, I think I might (if I lived over the border) vote for Ayotte.

But if I lived in Wisconsin? I'd be making phone calls in support of the Democrat. Ryan needs to be removed. Simple as that. He's a bad, bad guy.

It is a difficult thing for a politician when they cannot determine which way the wind is blowing

Enabling the democrats to take Ryan's seat seems like a bad idea to me. Cheering about this is sort of like being proud when some libertarian throws an election to a 'rat by taking votes from the republican. "Act in haste, repent at leaisure."

Spencer Zimmerman is running against Paul Ryan reprensenting the Trump Conservative Party. Why not vote for him instead of a Democrat?

The problem is that Ryan is a True Believer in mass immigration, offshoring, massive trade deficits and so forth, in other words open borders.

Mitch McConnell, on the other hand, is just bought by the Donor Class and does what they tell him to do. If the Donor Class for some reason were to tell him to renegotiate the trade agreements, he would then be for that.

But Ryan is a globalist ideologue, and more and more Republicans are beginning to realize that.

I'm on Version 54.0.2840.71 m and it renders perfectly. Maybe you need to check for updates by going to Help...About Google Chrome. It should automatically look for updates.

Ryan appears to be the closest thing to Cassius (plotter and assassin) in modern US history. It’s not ideology, it’s pure scheming ambition.

Remember this perfidious piece of crap, Paul Ryan, holding a presser to chastise Trump for the violence at Trump’s rallies? Ryan’s reputation is forever worse than mud.

Speaker Paul D. Ryan
TEAM RYAN
P.O. Box 620410
Middleton, WI 53562

Dear Speaker Ryan:

Oct. 5th “TEAM RYAN” campaign letter for House Republicans falls short. No check enclosed.

Your Republican Legislative majority did NOTHING to halt the Obama regime except defer one Supreme Court appointment.
A Republican must be PRESIDENT! Your prideful prejudice against Trump is absurd.

You have done NOTHING to support Mr. Trump’s Presidential campaign. After NOV. 8th you will become irrelevant to either winner. Worse, Clinton will continually be a national tragedy enabled by the likes of you.

You have a moment left. Choose courage.

United we stand, divided we fall

Why am I the only person in the world who seems to know anything about Spencer Zimmerman? He is actually on the Wisconsin District 1 ballot, opposite Paul Ryan, and is representing the Trump Conservative Party.

Paul Ryan is looking more and more like former darlings of the GOPe, Arlen Specter & Charlie Crist.

Who both sung the GOP loyalty tune until their double-dealings with the Democrats caused them to lose an election. And then they immediately chucked that loyalty tune to run against the GOP voters’ chosen candidate.
