I don’t like Ryan, but this shouldn’t be a deal breaker to ANYONE if this is true: If you guys haven’t got it thru your skulls yet that this may be IT for our country, then you never will get it.

I supported Cruz early on but when Trump became the nominee I got on board and have no regrets.


Exactly. This isn’t about you, me, Cruz or Trump. It’s about the country.

Those who Republicans who can’t see that are either sheep or are kamikaze Republicans with no genuine conservative principles. It’s that simple.

Laura is good because she is not radical yet she is truthful which, in this climate, is a fine line

She wants Trump to win.

It’s just not the time for all out change. Hillary has good numbers and will continue to. Plus the fraud.

Now’s the time for Trump to figure out how to work it. Ryan is very powerful. Forget it. Trump is figuring out the art of the political deal. I don’t doubt that

It’s not a deal breaker.

Trump gets my vote no matter what happens between now and November.

The only thing in question for me is does the GOP get my vote down ticket?

So far, i can’t see any reason to vote for them.

They don’t stand for anything that I believe in, in fact, the disgust me utterly.

This could be another MSM lie. I suggest everyone either go to his FB page or twitter and plead for him to not make this tragic mistake of endorsing Ryan.

The harm to Trump is how this affects how his supporters view him. He’s endorsing an open borders advocate.


Ryan will big win and it will be spun as a rejection of Trump. Trump needs to get ahead of that narrative.

Assuming arguendo the story is true, which is a dubious proposition dealing with the press, I wonder what Trump expects or has been "promised" (through these advisors) in return.

I also wonder what constitutes "endorsement." It might be nothing more than "I look forward to working with Paul Ryan."

America’s FUNDAMENTAL VALUES are based on Christian/Jewish teachings.
America’s values DO NOT SUPPORT Sharia and MUSLIM criminality!

No spin required, that is effectively what it is. Ryan is going to emboldened commensurate with his level of public support.

Why at this point? I guess he’s afraid he’ll have egg on his face if Ryan wins over his no endorsement.

My guess is Manafort asked Ryan what it would take to call of the dogs. Or, conversely, Ryan's folks called to ask what would it take for Trump to lay off of Ryan.

As much as I dislike Ryan, he is speaker of the house. Unless there is polling showing Nehlen is going to run away with the primary it only helps Trump to support Ryan. You don't need bad blood with the Speaker of The House when you're President.

Trump has to play some politics if he's going to get his agenda through congress.

Ryan isn’t going to give Trump anything. The deal seems to be if Trump goes near religion or race issues Ryan will frag him. Hard.

Seriously how long do you think he can piss off his own party? So silly - is this your first election? So many people are just not going to vote and he’s going to lose if you don’t kiss ass. Sorry that’s how it works.

Understood, but Trump is going to take a hit from many supporters. He has plenty of capital to burn, and this will burn some of it.

Mistake

Agree but I'm sure Trump is being told he can't fight two battles. The GOP better damn well clamp down on those never Trumpers or their will be hell to pay!

Why not just wait and then support the nominee?

Correction

A mistake would be losing to Clinton, even Romney could do that. Trump should definitely endorse Ryan and McCain before their primaries in order to gain support and defeat Clinton. There is no other reason for him to run. Clinton as President is unacceptable. Despite all the fantasies and wishful thinking about landslides, this will be, at best, a close election and we need everyone we can get to choose Trump over Clinton.
