In what way?
Ryan will have a good opportunity to set the agenda and I believe he will pleasantly surprise skeptics.
The problem with KS is it’s still enamored with Bob Dole.
Leopards don’t change their spots.
It dawned on me yesterday specifically who all these endorsements have had no impact.
Actually, I was wrong. They were having serious impact . . . against Cruz. If you look at the Quinnipiac Poll yesterday, and get into the internals, Cruz leads Trump on “experience” “honesty” and “shares Republican values.” Not big leads, but leads. So why is Trump up 2:1 over Cruz?
You find the answer in the question “who is most likely to change Washington?”
Trump 60, Cruz 16. Now the endorsements stuff makes sense. The endorsements are KILLING CRUZ because they are tying him more and more to “Washington,” as an insider. The is specifically why he is losing.
Sometimes you have to do a little digging, but it’s right there.

“Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump has fallen behind Ted Cruz in the national GOP horserace, according to a brand-new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
In the poll, Cruz is the first choice of 28 percent of Republican primary voters, while Trump gets 26 percent. They’re followed by Marco Rubio at 17 percent, John Kasich at 11 percent, Ben Carson at 10 percent and Jeb Bush at 4 percent.
....The results from the poll - conducted after Trump’s victory in New Hampshire and Saturday’s GOP debate in South Carolina - are a significant reversal from last month, when Trump held a 13-point lead over Cruz, 33 percent to 20 percent.
Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart and his firm Hart Research Associates, says Trump’s drop could signal being “right on top of a shift in the campaign.”
“When you see a number this different, it means you might be right on top of a shift in the campaign. What you don’t know yet is if the change is going to take place or if it is a momentary ‘pause’ before the numbers snap back into place,” he said......
And under the bus goes the TEA Party Caucus.
Trump sells a line of guano to Les Gullibles out there who are seduced by his words and do not follow the money trail of his past support of the most reprehensible scoundrels on the American political scene.
Dollars to donuts Trump “shakes things up” by
A)Losing to Hillary
B)Somehow getting elected and governing as a RINO nightmare
Funny how Trump**ts will extend their disdain to anyone who endorses Cruz.
Tim Who? Probably a RINO piece of trash.
Oh well, seeing the kinds they have endorsed lately, I’d figure to avoid him even more.
Yeah, it IS an election year, isn’t it?
