What a Difference a Week Makes and the Unsung HERO of the RNC (vanity)

Do you or anyone how things are with that race? How is Nehlen doing?

It is almost as if someone supernatural is affecting the events of men...

Donald Trump?

[Arthur McGowan]

After all the literature, movies, plays, and real-life exposures of religious frauds—going back to Scripture—there are still tens of millions of people who can be taken in by a greasy, smooth-talking, Bush sock puppet who says “to Gawd be the glory!”

And now to the unsung hero of the RNC, and that would be a Mr. Paul Nehlen, the man giving Paul Ryan the scare of his political life...

Seeing how Ryan is ahead of virtually-unknown Nehlen, who only moved into the congressional district in 2014, by 49 percentage points..."scare" is not a very accurate term.

As a resident of the First Congressional District of Wisconsin, I can tell you Nehlen is down by only 49 percentage points (69% to 20%).

If he keeps the pace going, he should catch up to Ryan sometime in 2018.

*sigh* Oh. Well.... then....

I guess I’ll mark that expectation off the list, and hope that Trump can continue dealing with Ryan as expertly has he already has.

Thanks for the information. I’ve been wanting to know.

I know I’ve been praying!

“Seeing how Ryan is ahead of virtually-unknown Nehlen, who only moved into the congressional district in 2014, by 49 percentage points...”scare” is not a very accurate term.”

As spectators, we all choose the polls we want to believe, but politicians that want to survive do not discount ANY OF THEM, or they very well may end up on K-Street, as Eric Cantor learned the hard way on June 14, 2014.

So, sorry, but this poll from just a week before the RNC had to scare the crap out of Ryan. Not only does it show him only up by 11 points, it also shows him way below the 50% level of support that is considered ‘comfortable’ for an incumbent.

A poll by Breitbart...which is currently barely more believable than The Onion...

“A poll by Breitbart...which is currently barely more believable than The Onion...”

So where’s your 49 point poll, or is it just in your head - or months before my poll.

...and by the by the way, I wasn’t aware that Breitbart did polling.
