Anyone who doesn’t think there will be an alternative convention with ryan, bushies and romney, think again.

Which voters???? ....

Regardless of how the masses vote we all get to choose who we support.....there’s not an individual here on FR who isn’t aware of Hillary and certainly none/zip=zero willing to vote for her......

The general has not begun yet....Trump still has to get his delegates which most expect he will. However,.... he’s on his own now.... so it will be interesting to see how he now “Represents” the platform of the party he seeks to support him in order to unify the voters behind him.

So yes I certainly get it.....Trump has the ball and needs to take it over the goalpost at convention. Then we’ll see.

Hopefully, the good people of Wisconsin will make this a moot point, soon.

Amen!

Paul RINO is a Vichy Republican; a turd by any other name, and you just can’t polish a turd..

Something is definitely up. Cruz didn’t mention Trump when he quit. Sasse talking about a 3rd party. Rush still taking shots at Trump instead of pivoting to Hillary. Bushes and others not attending convention. Ryan not accepting Trump’s win. Fatass Erickson saying he and his little club are still nevertrump. Many GOPers saying they’ll vote Hillary.

There is something on the works...

“I am not there right now.”

Translation: What are you going to give me?

He's got a primary opponent. A self-funding successful local businessman with a rebel streak. He rides motorcycles and has a couple of upper arm tattoos. He's challenged Ryan to an arm-wrestling contest.

Sounds Trumpian to me. By the way, even while losing Wisconsin, Trump still won Ryan's district.

So, Speaker Ryan, you don’t support building the wall?

You don’t support reducing corporate and personal tax rates?

You don’t support repatriating foreign corporate profits with a one-time reduction to !0% from 39%?

You don’t support limiting immigration from Muslim countries? You don’t support neutering the EPA? You think catastrophic global warming theory isn’t bulls%$? You don’t support using e-verify to discourage current illegal colonization of our country?

And Trump’s the one who’s not conservative? Are you conservative, Speaker Ryan?

I realize the headline is misleading, and Ryan’s “just thinking about it”, but at a time when Trump’s at least trying to unite the party, Ryan just missed an opportunity to be big. Small, petty, calculating is what he appears to me to be.

Enough of Uniparty PR. RESIGN you POS. Paul Ryan and the current and some former members of CONgre$$ should be in federal prison.

6. But the grand nostrum will be a public debt...

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

And here's a tweet from Ryan's primary opponent:

Paul Nehlen ‏@pnehlen 22m22 minutes ago
On my choice for prez? I support and honor the right of the PEOPLE to choose. I'll support any nominee THEY select AT THE POLLS. #DumpRyan

He’ll be supporting Trump in the end, mark my words.

But I’m deducting points for him playing the drama queen. You are going to see a lot of that kind of spinelessness. Establishment politicians establishing their bona fides with their peers by first rejecting Trump and then making the “sacrifice’ later on by endorsing him for the unity of the party.

Nothing but attention seeking drama queens.

Trump has the nomination. I fear that anything less would by comparison have 1968 Chicago seem like a tranquil summer vacation.

Deal with it. The voters have spoken, in spite of the disgusting obstacles put in the way of our choices mattering to the elite.

How many times have we been told to vote for "the lesser of two evils" and been blamed for not voting or being informed? Now, the elite want to keep up their game and assure Hillary's election? Ain't gonna' happen.

First step....Cantorize Ryan!

Ryan’s political nonsense will backfire as badly as Cruz’s gimmick selecting Carly Fiorina as Vice President. The people have spoken. If Ryan cannot support the nominee of his Party then he is honor bound to resign on or about November 10, 2016. These establishment politicians are so insulated that they are tone deaf. More and more convinced that a radical purge is necessary.

Paul Ryan did NOT definitively say he will not vote for Trump!Please do not post misleading headlines like this! It's not fair to freepers. It also risks pushing people on the fence about Trump into the nevertrump camp.

We've got six months to go until the election. Let's try to WIN people over to Trump — not alienate Republicans who are undecided at this point.

That’s because part of the headline was left off - making the headline look anti-Trump...

Ryan’s saying he can’t back Trump YET. Big difference.

Of course, right now it's this Mini power play, the kind of politics and games that got Trump all his votes in the first place. Ryan is tone deaf.

Please post the correct headline...you’ve changed the meaning of the story and turned it into an anti-Trump thing... You’re new... but this kind of thing matters.
