“Approximately 83 percent of Paul Ryan’s campaign funding comes from outside of Wisconsin’s 1st District. And of that 83 percent, 65 percent of his funding comes straight from Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia.

“Paul Ryan isn’t representing our district. He’s representing the big businesses and big banks that pour money into his campaign coffers. It’s their agendas he’s carrying forward with his votes in Congress…not ours.”

That would make a great local ad with the objective of "Cantoring" him. I hope someone in your area picks up on this.

I’m in California so the best that I can do is cheer him on.

Some Wisconsin freeper will have to tell us if he is getting his name out locally

Yep - and Paul Ryan's recent statements that he can't support Trump until he does something to unify the Republican Party are deplorable. What the hell has Ryan done to unify anything? Even McConnell and McCain have said they will support the nominee.

Ryan and his cohorts (including McConnell and McCain are what fractured the Party as far as the People go - they want Trump to undo what they have done to screw their own pooches as a standard for their support?

Paul Ryan - you are the problem - don't ask Trump to take out your trash as you hold the fracture apart while asking him to heal them...

I was saddened to read of Ryan's latest duplicity; but cannot argue with your analysis.

Trump's job is to continue to speak truth to the pretentious dolts, who have too long strutted as "experts" in fields in which they are manifestly incompetent; as he continues to allow no one & no collection of people to dissuade him from putting America First!

As highbrow Republicans turn away

Let me suggest a better, more accurate term than "highbrow" for the type: "Dwiors" "Dolts With Illusions Of Relevance."

The functional intelligence of the type has nothing to do with their IQ or the height of their brows. But anyone who is too dysfunctional to realize that putting short term business interests or leftwing theory ahead of the survival of your nation or civilization is stupid, has clearly demonstrated their own functional stupidity.

I believe it is not until August until their primary. Trump needs to stump for this man. Wow, would that shake them up.

Let’s keep those postcards flowing... to Paul Ryan (and our local reps and senators)... Every Monday until Ryan and all the others are “ready” to support Trump.

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 DEMOCRAT down-ballot in November!
#MAGA

One day the lightbulb came on for me that GOP “conservatives” were playing the exact same game as the Democrats were to get and stay in power.

On the left, the “liberal” Democrats tell you they are going to tax the rich and have equality for women and have a living wage and everyone be in a union. Once they get into office, though, they hang out with the 1% elite and line their pockets.

On the right, the “conservative” Republicans say they are going to protect marriage, stop Obamacare, have a fiscally responsible government, and protect American jobs from illegal immigration. Once they get into office, however, they hang out with the wealthy lobbyists of the Chamber of Commerce and other big corporations and line their pockets.

But during election season, however, both parties will bring out their shiny things to scam their electorates into voting for them and giving them money.

It really sunk home when I starting get emails several months ago from the GOP national committee etc., saying they desperately needed money to stop Obama, stop Obamacare, etc. etc. etc. All I could think was, that’s why we put all you monkeys in there in the last two elections and you didn’t do a damn thing. How do you have the gall to come back now and ask for more money?

So screw the liberal Democrats. Screw the conservative Republicans. Just show me someone who will cut through the crap and try to get something done to save our country. Because we are on the edge of going under.

I’ll have to see what’s happening in Texas before I make any definite voting plans, other than voting for Trump.

I was talking to a neighbor this morning, he said the exact same thing about Ryan that I did. I might go ahead later and get on Twitter and see of I can find Ryan and tell him what we think.

Why the hell is Ryan waiting for someone else to “unite the party” so he can jump on the bandwagon, rather than leading by example and HELPING do it himself? What a dumbass. He could ask Newt Gingrich how to do it...he’s been there. Ryan made a huge mistake, if he wants to see the party united, he should have said he supports Trump and said now let’s get to work. An outright endorsement wouldn’t be necessary, just say he supports Trump.

OK I just decided, I’m going to start it...

Trump/Gingrich. With Newt’s ability to get people to work together, and his knowledge of how DC works, that should be a good pair.

The Republican Party gave us 8 years of Obama. Can Trump do any worse? At least he doesn’t hate America.

There are too few conservative Republicans now: don’t punish the ones we have.

Wrong approach.

The correct approach is to purge the elitist Establishment in the primary. Party officials get elected in the primaries. Perhaps the Trump organization could run challengers in the 2016 primaries for the worst of the Establishment officials.

it is the voters they are truly turning away from

How do you turn away from someone you were never with?
