Does Ryan represent all Republicans?
May 12, 2016 12:04:57 #
As Speaker of the House, Ryan is supposed to represent all v**ers. However, if you dial 888-909-7926, the recording states your area code does not qualify you to leave a message. Consider the numbers: Trump has millions of Americans who have v**ed for him. Ryan has a few thousand Wisconsin v**ers [about 60 percent] from his congressional district who v**ed for him. Yet Ryan's hubris leads him to believe he can dictate to Trump what he must do to receive Ryan's support. Ryan should be replaced as Speaker.

The Speaker of the House does not worth for the POTUS, or a political party.
SoH is a constitutional office. His power comes from the constitution, not a nominee.

He represents the conservative side of the party. Trump represents a more Democratic side of the party. This is why it's hard to get the two together...

I believe Ryan is a popinjay who is already attempting to position himself for a p**********l bid in 2020. Refusing to endorse Trump will result in making Trump's p**********l bid more difficult.

BS, libturd. Everybody in Congress is going for the "king of the mountain" trip, and Mr. Trump, [and apparently/hopefully God], has already decided "who's on first." The more the anti-Trump demons, RINO's and "demonrat" "Marx/Alinskyites" try to find the chink in what now seems to be the "armor of God," the higher Mr. Trump's numbers go. But you certainly have the Alinsky crap down-pat, libturd; a loss is ALWAYS a win just waiting for another loss to be another win. "Democrat side of the party." Saul, is that you??? Saul Alinsky??? You little devil, I'd recognize those "Rules," anywhere. You little devil!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUMP!!!

We now have 2 liberal wings in the GOP. Ryan and Trump are in different wings.
The conservative wing is almost nonexistent.

Those in Congress, everyone of them, represent the corporations that buy them, not the v**ers. As is the POTUS. Corporations even write their own legislation. For instance, Lobbyists for the banking industry have a direct influence on financial legislation drafted in Congress, and are in some cases even writing the measures themselves. To soften the effects of regulations, lobbyists frequently ‘assist’ lawmakers in writing draft legislation that serves to benefit them at the expense of their smaller competition and the taxpayers. In May of 2013 Wall Street groups also held fundraising dinners for lawmakers who co-sponsored the bills they backed and in some cases co-wrote. As a reward for siding with bank lobbyists, these lawmakers were granted a dinner in which attendees paid up to $2,500 for a plate.
The corporate/government collusion is alive and thriving in both arms (dems-left arm and repubs right arm) of the only political party in the US, the CORPORATE PARTY.

The friction between Trump and Ryan can be easily resolved. Ryan said over a week ago that he would step down as Speaker if Trump asked him to do so. Trump should call his hand. Republicans are coming out by the millions to cast their v**es for Trump. Ryan can be easily and painlessly replaced.

Trump sure as hell doesn't represent Conservatives. Have you looked at any of his continually changing positions?

His positions are quite liberal. That is a fact.
Which is why he may be the destroyer of the GOP.

Ryan does not only answer his phone but will not accept email. Really, could he be that afraid to hear from AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS? Makes me truly ashamed to admit I was born and raised in Wisconsin. He needs to be gone along with Mitch "Howdy Doody" McConnel.

Here I go again. Wiped out first time around. I agree Ryan should be replaced. I wondered why he didn't go to Trump instead of vice versa. Anyone know?

Probably because Trump needs Ryan to be POTUS, and Ryan doesn't need Trump to be Speaker.

You must be right! It just didn't make sense to me because Ryan seems like an upstart to me. Nobody wanted him as President and I think he wants to be drafted by the Convention to be the nominee. I just don't trust that Convention.
