Donald Trump Won’t Change Platform to Appease Ryan: People Voted for Me ‘Because They Agree with What I’m Saying’

During Friday morning’s interview with Donald Trump on Breitbart News Daily, SirusXM host Stephen K. Bannon suggested House Speaker Paul Ryan withheld his endorsement to pressure Trump into dropping his positions on trade, the border wall with Mexico, bringing jobs back from China, and temporarily restricting Muslim immigration.

That campaign ad may be the most badass political thing I've ever seen.

He hits the jobs message squarely.

He is, in this ad, both a rebel and a solid businessman and upstanding member of the community.

And, he all but calls Paul Ryan a "sissy."

It is awesome.

Gimmie a break. When has Ryan ever supported the so called “Constitutional Conservative base”. Ryan answers to his paymasters and this is him trying to have a hissy fit. He is about to get slapped down though, just wait.

One thing is for sure, Donald Trump is smoking out the traitors.

During his 13 years in the House, Ryan was the primary sponsor of more than 70 bills or amendments,[66][67] of which only two were enacted into law.[68] One, passed in July 2000, renamed a post office in Ryan’s district; the other, passed in December 2008, lowered the excise tax on arrow shafts.

Ha! What a loser.

Recent exit polls consistently showed that a majority of GOP primary voters (60% in some states) feel “betrayed” by their leaders. Not just "let down or disappointed." Betrayed. By RINOs who sold out.

Earlier, eager GOP political leaders made promises of all kinds and received major midterm electoral victories that gave them the House, the Senate, 12 governorships and 30 statehouses. Americans gave them every opportunity, to no avail.

"The 2014 Midterm Dem Demolition Derby" and down-ticket state wins have yet to be fully-mined, but this we know:

<><> REPUBLICANS WON STUNNING HISTORY-MAKING ELECTORAL VICTORIES

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals;

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> 110 Of 140 Southern States election districts went Republican.

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><> GOP now controls the MINN State House.

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D

<><> Britt Hume sez: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass.

<><> GOP holds every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses.

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed.

<><> Democrats "War on Women" became a ntl joke.

<><> Clintons labeled politically useless---most candidates they flacked lost.

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> Arizona House recount race went Republican.

<><> AZ Republican McSally wins last open House seat (Dem Gaby Giffords seat),

<><> Repub McSally's win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in AZ congressional delegation,

<><> Repubs hold 247 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman admin after WWII.

<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.

<><> Republicans hold the largest House majority in 83 years.

<><> Republicans holds 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

<><> 2015 Republican grip on state government has not been seen since the 1920s.

<><> Republicans hold or share control in nearly every state (7 states' legislature and Governor are Dem-held).

<><> 12 states, including Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, NC will push income tax cuts and fiscal reform.

<><> Illinois new Repub Governor/s top priority is reforming its nearly-bankrupt public pension system.

<><> Vermont Democrats allied w/ VT conservative Repubs to ward off voter backlash

<><> controversial and seemingly incompetent VT Democrat governor did not get the requisite votes to stay in office.

<><> VT poised to install Vermont/s first Republican governor in over four years

<><> Republicans now control two-thirds of the state legislatures.

======================================

The Republican tsunami did not end in November 2014. Later, Republicans expanded their majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 170th district. Expanding a legislative majority in a blood-red state that twice voted for Barack Obama. 2014 turned into an historic election....for Republicans.

Obama loomed large in Dem defeats.

Daily Caller reports, under Obama, Democrats have lost a net of more than 900 state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 U.S. House and 13 Senate seats. Such numbers suggest a sick party...... Boobamba/s the guy w/ a dream to make a permanent Democrat party using US govt power. Just the opposite happened.

It takes awhile to see the reality of Paul Ryan and his ring. People go through stages of instinctive “Can’t we all just get along?” pleas, until the fog starts to lift and the reality starts to become clear as false facades fade.

You’re nowhere near reality newbie. You have nothing but ‘thoughts’, sweet little ‘thoughts’ which sound nice to children and adult children.

When reality punches you in the face, smashing your nose and blood flows, then come back and look at your statements. You should see how childish they are.

“All Ryan said was that Trump needed to start working on appealing to the Constitutional Conservative base”

Name a single “constitutional conservative” position that Ryan holds.

Here are a few real examples of Ryan’s positions.

http://www.businessinsider.com/paul-ryan-donald-trump-muslim-ban-2015-12

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/09/vote-paul-ryan-vote-amnesty-luis-gutierrez-endorses-paul-ryan-speaker/

http://archive.boston.com/politicalintelligence/2012/08/16/paul-ryan-criticizes-china-policy-but-congress-voted-against-legislation-aimed-changing/8xTfaij7ojMic5lGBJsANO/story.html

Read the articles. Ryan is an open borders pro Muslim globalist. That is the real reason why he will not endorse Trump.

In other words, Ryan says “be like Mitt”.

Not only no, but Hell No.

Don't even bother to make excuses for disgusting Paul Ryan. I'm emailing all of my non-Trump acquaintances and letting them know that a vote for hillary is a vote for those who won't support Trump, and would rather let her win....George 1 & 2, Romney, Ryan, Sasse, etc.

Paul Ryan's FIRST THOUGHT should've been to congratulate Trump and ask what he could do to help with the agenda Republicans overwhelmingly voted for. If he had better ideas, he should've run.

Gosh, I hope he's primaried. Get him out of DC power before November that way.

I think Trump needs to schedule a rally-fundraiser for Nehlen in Janesville Wisconsin, show Ryan who’s boss right in his own home town.

I disagree. Ryan has shown zero willingness to fight to to stop Obama yet he will fight a republican candidate who threatens the GOP establishment tooth and nail. Trump is already far to the right of Ryan and his cronies on many issues that the people voting obvioulsy care about this cycle such as immigration, border security, reigning in regulation, climate change, etc. Ryan is a life long GOPe hack and a huge part of the problem in DC. He has shown himself to be no more willing to oppose Obama than Boner was.
