All this time and you still haven’t noticed a couple things about Trump?

first, he’s putting in about 300% more effort than any other candidate we’ve ever had the pleasure to have represent us? That means he’s putting in 285% more effort than anyone else ever has, even using your vastly overinflated ‘distraction’ numbers.

Second, he is so heavily invested in winning that he won’t ever be distracted by things that don’t and won’t matter. He has determined Ryan matters a lot.

Third, as with his attacks on the Mexican Judge last summer, he is thinking strategically. Not many Freepers can put their heads around that kind of thinking when they are so involved in the short term results.

The bottom line,IMO,is that Trump can't do a damn thing about Ryan & Pals as a Presidential candidate or *former* Presidential candidate.Having a public battle with your own party's highest office holder *during* a campaign will only lose you votes...the votes of the squishy middle that you're trying to get to boost you from 40% of the vote to maybe 45-46% (in a four candidate race).

You give Ryan "two in the hat" (metaphorically that is) as *President* Trump...not candidate Trump.
