The GOP elicits candidates for their presidential nominee and exacts a written promise out of each one of the 17 people who entered the race, that they would not run as a third-party candidate against the GOP nominee if they themselves dropped out or didn't win.
Now the GOP is thinking about running a third-party ticket AGAINST their own nominee to thwart him from winning, which is in direct contradiction to their own demands and against the will of their registered voters?
No wonder record numbers of voters have turned out to support Trump. By supporting Trump, the GOP voters are saying that they are sick and tired of their own party playing these back-stabbing, petty games.
The GOP looks real bad doing this. Worse than they think Trump looks to the electorate.
My gut tells me Trump is going to beat the Lyin' Wicked Witch of the Left in a landslide in November. He's a proven winner, and she is a known loser. And when he does, I hope he rubs it into the faces of these arrogant GOP elites. Just desserts for them.
You would think that is pretty obvious...I guess not...
But hey, they're so used to thinking they are masters of the universe, I guess they really are that clueless...
I will give Ryan a slight break here...
Walk in his shoes for a moment...
Some loudmouth obnoxious blowhard basically takes over your party, crushes your candidates one by one doing so outside the proverbial playbook they have been using for decades...He also inherited John Bohner complete ineptness legacy ..
Everything is upside down and wrong...
Bear in mind we still have separation of powers, the legislative branch and the executive branch are supposed to have equal footing, so it's no surprise Ryan isn't running after Trump to kiss his ring...
Maybe he like to see who and what Trump is like up close and personal, since they will have to work closely together in the future...before kissing his ring..
I'm not surprised he is holding back his cards, the convention is still a long way off so they can better have a meeting of the minds...
I do think Ryan and Trump are very close on major issues...
Ryan runs his own little fiefdom and knows he will have to endorse Trump as the nominee at some point, he's in no rush, he has no mandate to do so...
Remember he is accountable only to his district, but is accountable for the way the House is run
He's not about to hand that over to Trump without some ground rules worked out...first
