Trump candidacy: Where some fear to tread others see a path to victory

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - He’s a successful businessman making his first foray into politics. He wants to secure the southern border with Mexico and dump global trade deals. And like Donald Trump, he wants to be the Republican establishment's worst nightmare.

He’s Paul Nehlen, who has emerged as a Republican rival to Paul Ryan, the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, in his home district in Wisconsin. Ryan, the most powerful elected Republican in the country, is the epitome of that establishment.

I have thought for some time that there would be down the ticket candidates like this. Trump has so successfully tapped into the frustrations of the electorate that it would only makes sense for others to ride the wave into the House.

No one deserves to be Cantorized more than Paul Ryan.

He gave Obama everything he wanted and more.

He sides with the illegal aliens and their employers against the citizens and the rule of law.

Challenger to Paul Ryan

http://www.paulnehlen.com/

“So, when Paul Ryan began pushing a massive, job-killing international “trade” deal known as the Trade Promotion Authority and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPA/TPP), it was the final straw for me. I know what TPA/TPP will do to this district. It sells out American workers. It sells out American business and industry. It will kill the economy in this district, never mind the rest of the nation.

Why would Paul Ryan do such a thing?

I asked myself that question again and again, trying to understand. I couldn’t believe he would be so reckless. I couldn’t believe he would sell out his own district in that way.

And then I started looking at public records…and it all began to make sense.

Approximately 83 percent of Paul Ryan’s campaign funding comes from outside of Wisconsin’s 1st District. And of that 83 percent, 65 percent of his funding comes straight from Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia.

Paul Ryan isn’t representing our district. He’s representing the big businesses and big banks that pour money into his campaign coffers. It’s their agendas he’s carrying forward with his votes in Congress…not ours

How can he do that before he's in office? Before he can get a chance to implement his policies?

You're putting the cart before the horse here.

"Why is Trump’s clothing line still made in Mexico and China then?"

I don't recall TRUMP ever calling for a boycott of trade with those countries. Or are you taking the idiot position on this?
