Paul Ryan ‘Not the Leader’ of the GOP — Party Believes Trump Is the Leader

Jeff Poor,

Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” host Joe Scarborough react to an Economist-YouGov poll showing GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump with higher numbers among Republicans than House Speaker Paul Ryan.

Despite what some in the so-called Republican establishment say, Scarborough that indicated Trump is the leader of the GOP and not Ryan.

“It’s not about Paul Ryan,” Scarborough said. “I love Paul Ryan. I have always actually ideologically been aligned with Paul Ryan.

 

But Mark Halperin, you look at these numbers – Trump up 20 in favorables over Paul Ryan. Ryan’s unfavorables are higher. This is even among primary voters. This is what the establishment doesn’t understand. They never understand.

Trumpleader

I saw Hugh Hewitt declare 14 times in three seconds that Paul Ryan was the leader of the party. He had 60 million votes. He’s the leader of the party.

I heard him say it on Chris Matthews. No, I got bad news for Hugh Hewitt, the American Enterprise Institute, the Republican leadership, all the fundraisers — Paul Ryan is not the leader of the party. The party believes Donald Trump is the leader of the party. That is the conundrum that every Republican from Pennsylvania to Oregon faces.”

    Those that drink their tea with their little finger extended from the handle, and talk like William Buckley (who, incidentally, I have a typewritten pre-home computer letter from him, something I cherish, with handmade corrections, a response to my comment about an article of his) are having trouble accepting that John and Jane Q. Citizen had enough of their lack of leadership. Nearly 8 years of concessions to the democrats, with Republicans constantly making promises of things they have no intent on fulfilling. How many times, when the ability to withhold funding for some obama program, has Boehner said that they would pass the current budget but in 6 months they’d address the issue on additional spending bills, but when the 6 months would pass, he’d pass the next bill with full funding for obama’s programs, and so on. Since the whirlwind Republican victory in 2014, they’ve given the nation away, lock, stock, and barrel.

    Dylan Ratigan (rightfully) loses it on air

    Same as the above link with “Inception” music to it.

    Dylan Ratigan outburst to the music from Inception.

    They both, Republicans and democrats, are not trying to preserve America for Americans. They are extracting, or allowing to be extracted, the wealth of this country. Ratigan is right on the money.

    Paul Ryan, in my estimation, is the weasel of weasels. 2nd runner up, not a politician, is Ben Shapiro.

    Ben Shapiro Explains Why He’ll ‘Never’ Vote for Trump

    Am I willing to risk a Hillary presidency not to vote for Trump? The answer is yes. The reason the answer is yes is because I am not going to watch the only party that has a possibility of reflecting conservatism descend into this. I’m just not going to do it. I’m not going to be complicit in the death of the conservative movement at the hands of Donald Trump.

    See, Ben, in his infantile analysis, is more concerned about the “conservative party” than America. He’s willing to see the appointment of 2 or more liberal Supreme Court Justices, the significant eradication of 2nd Amendment rights, the continued loss of American jobs and manufacturing, the imposition of inordinate taxes, the imposition of impossible to meet environmental laws, etc. etc. etc.

    If we add Romney, the trio could rightly be referred to as the Three Stooges, three people that couldn’t be more out of touch with the needs of Americans or, more worrisome still, are aware that they’re selling-out Americans but made a conscious decision to do so.
