Paul Ryan is playing right into Donald Trump’s master plan
CNBC ^ | June 7, 2016 | Jake Novak

Here we go again.

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has done it this time. His attacks on the Mexican heritage of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel clearly show that Trump's campaign is off the rails. The proof is that even prominent Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich have disavowed themselves from Trump's attacks on the judge. Surely, this is the beginning of the Trump campaign's self-destruction!

Not so fast my friends.

Let me rewrite the opening paragraph to represent the true Trump strategy here, one I don't endorse but still recognize for what it is:

Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump has done it again. His attacks on the Mexican heritage of federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel clearly show that Trump's campaign is still following its uncharted but calculated path. The proof is that even prominent Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and former Speaker Newt Gingrich have disavowed themselves from Trump's attacks on the judge. Surely this is the continuation of the Trump campaign's brash efforts to separate itself from the Republican Party — not so much in reality, but in voter perception....

The more the media hates him, the more I like him...

He has got ALL THE BEST ENEMIES

The media have been CO-CONSPIRATORS and the democrat propaganda arm.

Trump’s comments have already resulted in scrutiny being given to this judge, who it appears does lack the disinterested aspect a judge ought to have in such a case. It does play into Trump’s appeal with voters who are alarmed by judicial bias in general.

This is now turning very badly of the LA RAZA racist judge who should not be in this case . But it is flushing out the back stabbers who will be dealt with by the voters and we have long memories. One more word by Newt and he is off the short list, I assure you. Just one.

It also once again proves the establishment is in bed with the globalists who want America to be another third world nation. After they steal everything they can get their bloody hands on.

Yeah, yeah, all white people are racist, unlike all other races. The author might have mentioned that the judge in question belongs to an organization named “The Race”, but that would spoil his premise.

Newt brings the Sheldon Adelson money with him.

Methinks you have hit the nail square on the head. I have nothing to add.

I was for Newt, as he has many strong qualities I respect. But he also has a tendency to bloviate, as in this case, and come to think of it, I never did like that in him. I am for Jeff Sessions now. He has deep experience, integrity, and dignity.

He’s essentially identifying all the globalists so they can be dealt with later.

It’s early in the general election process. Right now he needs to know who he can trust. Gingrich failed the test, btw. And Chris Christi passed.

A judge being a member of a La Raza Attorney Association that partners and promotes the La Raza organization on their website is as offensive as a judge who is a member of a KKK Attorney Association with the KKK organization promoted on it’s website.

Very interesting - I was wondering if The Donald could also use this as a vetting process for his VP. Newt should DEFINITELY be off the list, if he was ever on it.

Christie now looking pretty loyal, a trait admired by Mr. Trump. I heard he was at Trump Tower today - perhaps discussing the VP slot with #45.

You may also have received a video from Paul Ryan.  If it sounds like the same old same old (as MOST of the commenters below the video observed), that's because it probably is!

Some 411 about Ryan:

He's mentioned that his BEST bud in congress is one Luis Gutierrez (LG), FLAMING LEFTIST DEMOCRAT from Illinois.  You know, the home of Chicago and Cook County where, in addition to others, the elections of Kennedy and obozo were STOLEN by the Democrat machine!

Why is his closeness to Luis of interest?  Their ratings by several outfits that do that sort of thing may be an indicator.  The lower the score (on a scale from "0" to "100" at CU and from "A" to "F" at GRADEGOV) on the more radically leftist the member.

CONSERVATIVE UNION:  RYAN 89/LG 4.45!  (Yes, that's 4.45!!!)

GRADEGOV.COM: RYAN "B+"/LG "F"

HERITAGE SCORE: RYAN (NOT AVAILABLE)/LG 19 (I assume when Ryan got the Speaker's job, Heritage stopped rating him.)

Speaking of his elevation to Speaker, a funny thing happened there. Before he'd take the job, Ryan demanded a change in the process for motion to “vacate the chair” ESTABLISHED by THOMAS JEFFERSON, leading some opponents to call him "King Paul".

MY question is this: Does Ryan's friendship with a radical leftist like LG mean he naively believes he can convert LG to conservatism?  Or, like his apparent affection for obozo, manifested most conspicuously by his cave over on nearly every one of obozo's moves to operate outside the Constitution,  grow the bureaucracy, use illegal immigrant welfare, etc. to break the bank via Cloward- Piven, supporting open amnesty, the continued importation of UNVETTED muslim INVADERS, etc, do those friendships and "accommodations" indicate -- despite a fairly high score as a "conservative" -- a concealed leftist leaning that will become more apparent as we grow closer to the philosophical, moral and fiscal drain we've been circling for decades and multiple administrations?

Just askin'.

And as troubling as the image above is, the one below is doubly troubling, especially now that EVEN MANY EUROPEAN and AFRICA NATIONS ARE “GETTING IT” and DEPORTING MUSLIMS, OUTLAWING SHARI'A LAW AND DEMOLISHING MOSQUES. 

Methinks Paul, while ragging Trump for drifting with the wind, goes wherever the slightest zephyr takes him!

Has Jeff Sessions commented on this stupid judge fiasco?
