Donald J Trump Responds to Speaker of the House Paul Ryan

Source: Donald Trump.com

"I am not ready to support Speaker Ryan's agenda. Perhaps in the future we can work together and come to an agreement about what is best for the American people. They have been treated so badly for so long that it is about time for politicians to put them first."

It's just going to be a bit later...like the GE. It's the season of the People...not the Oligarchs.

We're going to take back the political process. Screw the old fashioned Fat Cats...male or female.

are seriously going to consider changing the delegate allotment to something two tier after this upcoming loss in November. I wouldn't be surprised if they come up with a superdelegate type like the democratic party does. This will allow them to steer their party from going over a cliff, by not electing any chaos candidates.

Maybe you like stuffed-shirt imbeciles like Reagan who don't do shit except read their lines, while the war profiteers run the country.

Congress has an approval rating of less than 1%. Republicans are a little better off in that their House Representatives and Senators are not super delegates.

Should the worst disaster since W confront America, at least we can depend on the overinflated egos of Republican leadership to guarantee that America won't be destroyed as easily as it would be with Republican cooperation.

Paul Ryan is an Ayn Rand disciple - his agenda is free trade and cutting Social Security and Medicare. The Republican voters (not the Republican political figures) just picked someone who gets as noisy cheers at his rallies when he rails against Bill Clinton for NAFTA, promises tariffs for outsources, and says he'll kill the TPP, as he does for The Wall. He's said these things about free trade for decades, it isn't new. And based on his interview today, he's going to include raising the minimum wage in his campaign too. Donald Trump advocated for single-payer health care in the recent past. He's not going to campaign on that, but he's not Paul Ryan.
