Wow, Ryan is just the answer for everything. I guess we should just turn the whole thing over to him. He can be the new SC Justice too.

I will never vote for that slimy snake—unless my ballot says “guilty” on it.

I would never vote for him.

If that’s the best they can do, the GOP is in sorry shape, indeed.

If there is one lesson everyone can take from the 2016 election process. It is party loyalty is blind faith and worthless. Our only loyalty is to the country.

LOL! Get real. The GOPe should listen to Alex Castellanos, who said this today:

"It is too late.

"If our self-indulgent Republican party establishment had really wanted to prevent a takeover of the GOP, they should not have gorged on political power while they failed to do anything to prevent the decline of the country.

"They should have stood up for the change Donald Trump is bringing now but they didn't."

"Now, Trump has earned the nomination. He won it, fair and square and we should respect that. Donald Trump whipped the establishment and it is too late for the limp GOP establishment to ask their mommy to step in and rewrite the rules because they were humiliated for their impotence.

"If Trump is going to be our nominee, as I believe he is, it is our mission to support Trump and make him the best nominee and president possible."

LOL as if Ryan is the compromise candidate that will satisfy deadlocked Cruz and Trump voters.

If this sort of crap happens, like the Democrat machine saddled their party with after the ‘68 fiasco with McGovern and the new left, they have no ideal how quickly the Repubs will be at 10% and a third party will be at 35%

thr rules say Trump needs at least 50% in 7-8 states or terrorities or he cannot be the nominee, would the GOPe dare cause a floor fight/2nd ballot on procedural grounds?

Then Ryan wins by acclimation or the delegates change their votes against Trump

It’s not about winning, it’s about blocking the citizens from the ability to retain the rule of law and our country.

The Cheap Labor Express must be kept running.
