Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is warning donors that the Republican party’s House majority could be in jeopardy, according to The New York Times.

Ryan spoke in private last week to a group of donors at a political conference in Colorado sponsored by the industrialists Charles G. and David H. Koch.

During the conference, the speaker said donors shouldn’t put their focus completely on retaining the Senate, and noted that Republican control of the House may also be at risk, the Times reported, citing a Republican who heard the talk. …

The difference:

Democrats gave Obama everything he wanted and then clapped about it.
Republicans gave Obama everything he wanted and then bitched about it.

It would be too good to be true to get Paul RINO booted out! But Trump endorsed him, which makes me think Trumps own internals show RINO is going to win. And RINOs constituents just aren’t smart enough or ballsy enough (couldn’t think of a better word) to take out their guy. And they aren’t willing to sacrifice whatever he is doing for them for the betterment of this country. Which would be the socialist thing to do so they should be more than willing....

Turns out lying Ryan has no problem stealing from the American people and handing our hard earned tax dollars to his and Obama’s Syrian rebels. Give US back our ‘check book’, you lying thieving socialist.

Abdul Ryan is "warning" WHO??

The GOP is on life-support. And rightfully so. ONLY a Trump Presidency save it and his treasonous azz.

It really is up to us - nobody left to blame if we don't shove Hillary over the cliff of dodged bullets....we own it if she ends up in the WH.

yes, IF everything were on the up & up. But you're discounting the very real possibility of widespread, overwhelming VOTER FRAUD, aren't you?

I didn't believe Herr ZERO won the 2012 election legitimately.

Moreover, ZERO can still prevent a Trump inauguration by playing the Martial Law Card. After all, that's what his 'Operation: CHAOS' is about; There's good reason for those sudden "Syrian" refugees and BLM anarchists.

A couple more gun "incidences" from "Lone Wolves" and Ryan and McConnell will roll over for ANY THING ZERO proposes -- including suspension of the 2A and Constitution.

P.S. -- I won't even mention the "solution" of desperate banana republic despots.

Ryan warns donors GOP could lose House: report

If the GOP loses the House, Paul Ryno is to blame.

San Fran Nan will be third in line for the oval office behind Madam Benghazi, and Little Timmy Kaine (Honorary Muslim Brotherhood Bro). How does that make you feel about the future of 'The United Socialist States of Amerika'?

I am half expecting a complete turnover of Congress to go with a Clinton presidency. I am, needless to say, not terribly optimistic for the country. Why vote for a Republican for Congress? The incumbents are already functioning Democrats and the newcomers will be. As for the top of the ticket, cheating and hacking is going to be on steroids this cycle and even obvious and there will be no effective challenge. Only the Republican Party has “standing” to challenge a vote count and the Republican has legally forsworn any challenge, no matter what happens.

Trump is not stupid. And he doesn’t forget. If supporting Ryno helps him in getting elected, so be it. Once the POTUS, Trump will run Ryno out.

Guillotines, DC, start with GOP.
At least the dems admit their agenda.
The GOPe pisses on us and then calls it a warm shower.
They have all pretty much have been complicit collaborators with 'King Coffee Creamer' and have violated their oath's of office and deserve a traitors punishment.

Blah blah blah blah blah - we can't win so why even try. Why waste time and effort an money because we already lost.

Okay, Tokyo Rose defeatist - how about getting off the pathetic duff and doing something positive for a change?

It is pathetic fools like yourself that help make sure the doom and gloom comes true - if others can't pull your weight for you, you are ready and willing to whine and cry about how unfair it is without ever lifting a finger to try to do something.

You can curl up under your bed with your thumb up your butt or you can be part of the solution.

The solution is to donate to Trump and Donate to FR while you're at it.

I know it's a scary thing to try to stand up on one's own two atrophied feet, but the rewards are many.

Man or mouse? It's up to you - is that cheese you smell?

Why is it that so many of the pathetic ones are relatively new here and if they have been around for a while, don't seem to ever actually invest themselves in anything worthwhile????

It must be the smell of ozone from you shock treatments. OR the subtle odor of rancid Midol.

Good luck with all of the above, Bonzo.

That's the most ridiculous suggestion that I've ever heard.

Martial Law to prevent Trump's inauguration?

There would be an armed revolt if that happened. Therefore, it's not going to happen.

Vote Trump!
