Paul Ryan - He is supporting Trump because Hillary would just be a third term of Barack Obama ???

Does that really make sense to anyone? Doesn't this indicate that they have plans at filibustering and blocking everything in the next four years, if the people do not vote the way they want?

Aren't they saying that an "unfit", unstable, demagogue is better than a Hillary Clinton, or any Democrat? What kind of person thinks in such an irrational manner? Other than Paul Ryan?

They would only work with Hillary on Third Way safety net cuts and war and trade deals. Did you think they were going to be friendly? After all the Benghazi strife? They hate the Clintons.

And Hillary did say she would pretty much be another term of Barack Obama. No changes but tiny incremental steps or whatever.
