Nancy Pelosi might not be perfect, but you can see the knife coming towards you before she plunges it in.

Ryan's trying to protect his reelection - that said, he's still done better than Cruz when it comes to at least mentioning that Hillary is the worst choice out there.....

Hey Cruz - when you gonna stop pouting and man up???

Paul Nehlin is not perfect but he is better than Paul Ryano.

And Nehlin ain’t a sissy boy he rides a Harley.

It has to SUCK for Ryan to have his Primary just after the GOP convention.

No doubt he never thought much of it, but now he’s clearly FEELING FOOTSTEPS and he has to know that if he messes up at the convention, then HE IS TOAST for his own seat.

...and we all owe Mr. Nehlin a BIG THANK YOU for that. One little no-name guy, running against the big boss, may very well be the reason Trump manages to stay on the ballot in November.

That’s how important it is to keep our leaders on their toes - to HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

“Ryan, the disgraceful jerk who cut the pensions of retired veterans and disabled military veterans in 2013, just saw his poll numbers I gather.”

What are his poll numbers. I haven’t heard but sure want to know. I hope Ryan is tanking big-time.

And then, at the very top of the “Not Perfect” list, we have Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House - who, by the way, also tops the “Pathetic POS” list as well.

I think Ryan must have noticed his tanking poll numbers and is speaking up now to try to reverse the trend.
****

Paul Ryan wanted to promote himself, although he makes it look like he is supporting Trump which was not very convincing.

The article mentions that “Ryan repeated his disagreements with Trump on the Muslim ban” which Ryan did not get right (instead he repeated MSM talking points).

This is the website he was promoting with his ideas, not the republican platform, or Trump’s policies.

I believe that’s called “damning with faint praise”.

Ryan’s lack of support of the party nominee is clearly whats hurting his poll numbers in WI.

Absolutely. I posted it as that. Ryan’s endorsement is so thinly cloaked disdain that it’s obvious. He’s turned into a little wise guy.

I think he’s testing Trump. Almost like he’s daring him to take him off as Chairman of the convention.

GAWD, I despise the media. The opening line: Paul Ryan defended his decision to support Donald Trump. WTH?! As if a Repub SoTH needs to “defend” supporting his own party’s nominee? Say what will about Ryan’s weak endorsement, etc. But leading with the premise he needs to “defend” it.... OMG, I can’t stand these commie propoganda pushers!

Ryan and many of the establishment Republicans are going to eventually realize that they have 2 choices:

1. Jump on the Trump Train, or

2. Get chewed up by the Clinton Machine.

Decisions Decisions

The only reason Ryno is trying to appear to come around is due to the fact that he is on the verge of losing his House seat to Paul Nehlen.

Why is this even a question any more? Why, because Ryan hasn’t laid it to rest. He throws in these little hits when Trump makes a comment. I’m sure he’ll say that Trump’s comments about Ruth Ginsburg are unseemly.

Ryan said the phrase “black lives matter” means “People feel like they’re being discriminated against and they’re not safe because of the color of their skin. That’s profound.”

This shows how profoundly naïve Ryan is. Even black leaders, like Sheriff Clark whom I admire greatly, says that black lives matter as a group is divisive. He didn’t mince words.

Ryan is for Ryan. If I were Trump I would ignore Ryan completely and work behind the scenes to begin the process of removing him as speaker. I would make sure the establishment learns very quickly AFTER a Trump win that there will be consequences for their behavior.

Ryan has been a complete disaster. He is immature and shows many of the same signs as el-presidente’ in regards to narcissistic behavior.
