"You have said that you will support the Republican nominee. Now you have a nominee, Donald Trump. will you support him?" Tapper asked.

"Well, to be perfectly can did with you, I'm not ready to do that yet. I am not there right now. I hope to and want to. What's required is that we unify the party... I do not want to underplay what he accomplished. He needs to be congratulated for winning the delegates, but he inherited something special," Ryan said. VIDEO...

Paul RINO hasn’t figured out yet that he’s going to be Cantored.

but the story only says he isn’t ready yet. Not the same thing.

Essentially, he's saying that if Trump comes around to "their" way of thinking, then he'll support him. In other words, Trump must join the RINO club and secretly vow to work against the interest of the USA before the insiders will accept him.

Let's pray that Trump holds firm... this is our last chance at salvaging this once great country.

“He inherited nothing he WON.”

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?

Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.

Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?

Conan: Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

Mostly the LOSERS are making a lot of demands they have not earned.

Mostly the LOSERS are demanding a lot of unnecessary concessions to heal their wounds, hand holding, patting on the head and a little grooming and feeding.

This is not the TRUMP style to concede his hard fought victory to the LOSERS.

The man has been attacked, mocked, ridiculed derisively, since he announced and by all sides, including his own, and including the Establishment, and these contenders have depended on the Establishment to somehow prop them up in a futile attempt to hold back an American wave of rebellion and resistance to these, every single one of them, connected globalist players.

Don’t get me started on what these contenders were into, but it was *never* about sovereignty, or security, or the border. Every last one of them had tracks leading back to the globalist agenda, except ONE, Donald J. TRUMP.

To expect concessions, on the very issues with which TRUMP smoked this nasty field, from the victor is a bad wind blowing from ideological worshippers who can not see the that the final fall of the country and that their own right to whine is in jeopardy without an All American Male who is willing to go to the mat for the people, rather than play patty cakes with LOSERS who would prefer Hillary Clinton’s expansion of four to eight more years of Obama II, because it makes them feel triumphant is more than any patriot should have to stomach.

...” an American wave of rebellion and resistance”....

Trump has basically won...you’ve had your rant so I trust you feel better now...so moving forward.... we can then expect Trump to continue to obtain the rest of his winning delegates and be officially declared the Republican Nominee at Convention.......simple right?

Let’s keep those postcards flowing... to Ryan... Every Monday until Ryan and all the others are “ready” to support Trump, or until Ryan makes it clear that he’s flipping the bird to We, The People, and he plans to support Hillary.

It’s not over until Trump is actually the Republican nominee, not just the “presumptive” nominee. Everyone stay focused, and keep voting Trump in the remaining primaries. Keep focused until February 2017.

Postcards to:

Spkr. Paul Ryan
1233 Longworth HOB
Washington, DC 20515

This is what I’m writing on my postcards:

Support Trump2016
- or we vote DEM down-ballot in November!
#MAGA

-- Mostly the LOSERS are making a lot of demands they have not earned. --

On CNN, Gloria Borger characterized Ryan's tantrum as the opening salvo in negotiations, and if he had done otherwise, he'd have nothing left over to negotiate with.

What nonsense. The man is Speaker of the House (unless or until he loses an election), and in that position, he has all sorts of real power. The only takeaway from his tantrum is that he opposes the election of Trump, because he can oppose the policies later.

Trump's answer was great. Said the same thing back, no more, no less.

CNN Transcript including Ryan's Statement - I think this has the wrong date, 6pm May 6 is in the future ;)

That Trump statement is so kind and Presidential!

It is what I expect as a way to soften his critics...

We will all be proud of our country again!

Was Ryan trying for a “Lincoln” look? Maybe the outsider taking the nomination for himself? ( I do know it was prior to the primary but enjoyed the thought anyway)
