Poll: Paul Ryan's Approval Collapses, More GOP Voters Say Trump
Townhall.com ^ | 10/21/16 | Matt Vespa

Justin wrote about the hostile reception to Speaker Of The House Paul Ryan from Trump supporters at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Chants of “Paul Ryan sucks” were shouted, but is this an isolated incident? That is, is this just a representation of Trump supporters from the local area? No—not really. The latest polling shows that support for Ryan has collapsed, sinking 28 points…in a week. The YouGov poll had some interesting points concerning Ryan, Trump, and the brewing tensions that seem bound to erupt in civil war once this election is over.

Allahpundit noted that Ryan is experiencing the Ted Cruz treatment from his own side by refusing to campaign with Trump, though he hasn’t yanked his endorsement, which rightfully leaves some people wondering why this late in the game would anyone just stop supporting Trump. For starters, the Access Hollywood tape isn’t a deal breaker with many Republican voters, but it is one with almost a quarter of independents, who Trump needs to win over in order to win this election. Another interesting find in the crosstabs about Ryan is that most Republicans, despite their increasing dislike of him, view him as the leader of the GOP, not Trump:

If Spencer Zimmerman is serious about running against Paul Ryan, then he needs to get noticed. Interviews, commentary, photo-bombing, anything big. I’ve never heard of him at all.
This is not the best time for a new politician to get much play, only three weeks before a national election everyone just wants to be over.

Wow!

Awesome response.

I think Trump really picked up a lot of support when he came out so pro-life and pro-second amendment and pro-Constitution at the beginning of that last debate.

Both candidates expressed their positions very clearly. NOBODY can now say they don’t know what the issues and who who stands for what.

When people are voting, they are voting with a clear choice between good and evil and voting with their eyes open. If they choose Hillary, they are choosing with evil and against all that is right and good and represents this country.

They are also choosing against God. You CANNOT claim to be a believer in Him and choose to side with that kind of unadulterated evil and immorality and corruption.

“That guy Nehlen was a jerk unfortunately, spending lots of time ripping Mark Levin. Still, I’d never vote for the fraud Ryan.”

Mark Levin spent all his time ripping Trump.

“When Trump’s elected he’ll need a Republican Congress. Vote straight ticket.”

To hell with the GOP. It is a revealed enemy. A false front.

Those elements within the GOP have subverted every conservative agenda since 1989.

Assassinate the political careers of the lead quislings. Ryan. Graham. McCain. Blow their metaphorical brains out as an example to the other quislings.

###############

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

- Marcus Tullius Cicero

Voting straight ticket GOP is GOPe, and is like drinking from the toilet.

“Enabling the democrats to take Ryan’s seat seems like a bad idea to me.” It isn’t just a bad idea it is stupid. There is no guarantee that Ryan will be Speaker.

Just swallow and put him back in the House. Just like I had to swallow and vote to return the odious Mark Kirk to the Senate. You don’t always get what you want but the Senate majority must be retained or the appointees to the courts will be thwarted.

Spencer Zimmerman is running against Paul Ryan reprensenting the Trump Conservative Party. Why not vote for him instead of a Democrat?


Because voting for Zimmerman would only get the dem elected. Same logic as the never Trumpers. Not voting or write in will only help Clinton. I believe with President Trump, Ryan will be neutered. Do we really want to take the chance of losing control of the house and/or senate?

Why, you might ask, isn’t Ryan’s approval DOWN by FIFTY points?

Trump’s endorsement was in good faith for party unity. McCain & Ryan betrayed Trump & the GOP voters. A pox on them both.

Vote Trump 2016

Ryan and the rest of the GOP establishment do not want a Trump win because they are PART of the one worlders. Just like the Beast and her drunk, punk, rapist husband. He and his crowd all what the one world system. Trump is not of that ilk, thus they have to destroy him.

Don’t congressional rules state that the speaker of the house doesn’t have to be a member of congress?

Same here, my family will be voting for Kelly Ayotte because Maggie HAAsAAN and her husband love the terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood =

Her husband was directly responsible for establishing the terrorist "Muslim Brotherhood Student Club" on the campus of Phillips Exeter Academy while he was president of the academy. He was also responsible for everything having to do with the Lord Jesus Christ and Christianity REMOVED from the academy Chapel which was ORIGINALLY DEDICATED TO THE GLORY OF JESUS CHRIST!

Her husband also saw to it that a "Muslim prayer room" was established on the second floor of the Chapel!

He also invited the avowed Communist Van Jones to address the entire faculty and student body!

All of the above are facts. The HAAsAAns have never rescinded or apologized for any of these heinous, anti-American, anti-Christian, terrorist supporting policies.

So, we will be voting for Ayotte BUT she is on notice: when Donald Trump becomes POTUS, if she doesn't do everything in her power to support the President and his pro-American, anti-corruption policies we, along with tens Of thousands of NH residents will do EVERYTHING WITHIN OUR POWER TO UNSEAT HER NEXT ELECTION AND REPLACE HER WITH A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE WHO WILL!
