Congress critters who express contempt for the will of the voters tend to have short careers. The Speaker would do well to consider how he go

That’s a calculation that every politician makes. If Trump wins (gag) with 51% of the vote there’s 49% of the population that didn’t want him for a President. Ryan can run numbers as well as anyone else.

Hahaha! So now Donald equals “the will of the people”? Why even have Congressional elections then? You all are pieces of work

True.

Something else really bothers me about this guy. He made $174,000 a year as a Congressman until he became Speaker last fall, and now makes $223,500.

But on his salary he purchased a mansion, the one behind the wall he built that you can see in the back of the photo.

It is common knowledge in Washington that members of Congress and members of the Senate are the biggest Insider Traders on the planet.

But they are above the law.

Congress Tells Court That Congress Can’t Be Investigated for Insider Trading

Old Weeping Whiskey Breath left the House a rich man.

And yet these guys have the nerve to cut benefits to disbled veterans. That was overturned, but only because of the public outcry. Now Congress has voted to "reform" military retirement, which means a massive screw job. They are voting to increase the cost of military healthcare, and have voted to cut funding for commissaries and other benefits that were hard earned.

They are a bunch of snakes, and I for one am glad Trump scares them.

"Congress critters who express contempt for the will of the voters tend to have short careers."

At this point, he's expressing contempt for 1/3 (Trump voters) of 1/3 (Republicans), or 1/9 of the voters.

I realize this an unpleasant fact for Trump supporters, but it is a fact.

You are absolutely correct about this.

It might, however, be a tad premature to hear the will of the people in Trump’s voice.

He’s doing well, great even, given that we are talking about the rudderless Republican Party. There’s that whole general thing after the cage match, uh, primaries are complete.
