(Note: Apparently the recent Wisconsin primary for President didn't include seats for Congress )

Paul Ryan is getting a strong challenger in his own GOP primary in Wisconsin. This is generally unusual for an incumbent in a party safe district to receive such a challenge.

Sarah Palin is now backing Paul Nehlen to defeat Ryan.

IMO, I how Nehlen sends Ryan home. He's done nothing for America.

I would love to see Ryan lose but I have to think this will have the counter affect.

This is great news. Paul Ryan is a globalist first and foremost. He claims to be a conservative and that is where the problem and confusion begins. We all know that the donors have the money and power thus make the rules. They have directed GOP leaders like Ryan to push Anti-American prosperity as conservative values. Example 1) : Bad trade deals and giving Obama trade promotion authority. Example 2) : Giving Obama everything he wanted with the omnibus.

Paul Ryan Betrays America: $1.1 Trillion, 2,000-Plus Page Omnibus Bill Funds 'Fundamental Transformation of America' - Breitbart

Paul Ryan wants to continue the decline of American prosperity and disguise it in conservative values. I will never forget how he sat behind Obama during the State of the Union Address with smiling jubilation as if he wanted to give Obama a reach around. Both parties are infiltrated with this globalist one world order mindset but coming at it from different directions to the same end. Reduce America and it's population to a level of poverty that will equal the rest of the world. Open borders and the continued lost of good jobs thru trade are not conservative values but they want us to believe it is. That is why people like Paul Ryan do nothing about it. Scum sucking globalist drinking slime out of a rusty cup. They need to be outed and defeated at every turn for America to remain a Nation State.

"GO TRUMP" or live in a 3rd world dump.

Ryan losing in November would just be the cherry on top of the GOP's self-inflicted agony.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

-Abraham Lincoln
Of course Trump is the primary problem here. But the Republican establishment has utterly failed to serve their primary function of representing their constituents as well.

There comes a time when a house is just worn out and needs to be torn down, when some gentrification is in order. That appears to be the case here. The Republican party has reached the end of its functional life span. It must be demolished and swept aside, along with the monster that is currently at its head, Donald Trump.

What a monstrosity this whole arrangement has become.

It does make one wonder if Ms. Palin is angling for Trump's VP slot. Of course, back in 2008 he disagreed with McCain's having picked her, but times and feelings change.

One would have to wonder about the judgment of a politician engaging Palin's services to win an election.

Good news. When he meets Trump, he will have no choice but to endorse him.

When Sarah Palin was chosen as McCain's V.P. I was open minded and listen to what she had to say and in the end thought she was not ready for the position. I couldn't figure why Trump was mentioning her name and associating with her. I had the generally unfavorable view of her as did many others. What I see now is a lady that has grown and matured politically and on the right side of this issue.

Paul Ryan has disrespected the will of the people and voters who have chosen Trump as the presumptive nominee for the GOP. Just as we see with failed candidates who won't honor the pledge they made in the first debate Paul Ryan has not remained neutral and is not serving his party or the nation but the donor class to which he is beholden.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-governm...s-budget-deal/

Paul Ryan was handed the speaker’s gavel in late October, he pledged to restore normal order to the People’s House and eliminate the sort of backroom deals that rank-and-file members complain are shoved down their throats at the 11th hour. So, late Tuesday night, Ryan unveiled a few thousand pages of consequential tax, spending, and regulatory legislation costing roughly $2 trillion and gave Congress and the public two whole days to review everything.
