Comedy. Comedy gold!
Paul Ryan is a neocon RINO, a globalist. Not a conservative at all. You don't know the difference so you wouldn't understand why we despise him. The omnibus he just passed that Obama wanted adds 2 trillion to our debt along with a mountain of garbage to go along with it.

I know your trying to be creative and funny but you fell flat on your face. As far as Palin goes, she's a character nothing more. She has no place in politics anymore so please don't lump us all in as if she has any importance, she doesn't.

Paul Ryan is closer to Hillary Clinton in philosophy then you realize. No thanks...

Indeed. It fascinates me that so many are quite happy to support bought & paid for politicians.

He didn't trash Trump at all, it was a pretty reasonable statement that makes perfect sense when you consider that Ryan is a fiscal conservative who has congressmen to protect.

But Trump lost his shyt immediately!!! I mean he went apoplectic and started threatening the guy, and now he's got Palin going for his throat. All he had to do was say something like "I'm confident Ryan will see things my way after we meet, if looking forward to it" but now it's way more drama than it needed to be.

This is how he plans to govern? What a putz.
Exactly right. He is a spoiled, petulant child, a diagnosable narcissist and a pathological liar. The idea of Donald Trump in the White House is positively absurd.

Your opinion of Trump is irrelevant to this topic. We all know you are smarting over Cruz.

The topic is about Sarah Palin campaigning against Paul Ryan in Wisconsin.

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.

CBO: 2016 Deficit Jumps $130 Billion After House Speaker Paul Ryan's Omnibus Budget Deal - Breitbart

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.
Ryan isn't disrespecting the will of the people in Wisconsin. Cruz beat Trump by double digits there. Those are the same people that will be voting in this election.

The people of Wisconsin really don't appreciate outside meddling in their state elections, and I think Palin flatters herself by suggesting that she will have any influence there.

BTW, this topic isn't about Trump. Why don't you address the actual topic.
Child please. Did he "go against" Trump or did he say "I want to support him", which is what he said? Y'all complain about the media giving misleading headlines but then fall for it yourselves.

Ryan and Trump have some very different views AND part of his job is to run cover for the congressmen under him who become vulnerable under a Trump as nominee scenario. Of course he's going want to meet with Trump and get some assurances for his fellow congressmen. That's his damn job.

Patty nominees going around and meeting with party leaders to begin working out the platform is NORMAL.

And Palin jumping in like an attack dog threatening Ryan's seat is asinine.

But it won't matter, it never does. Logic is not a thing in politics anymore. It hasn't been in a long time.

Paul Nehlen is not a Wisconsin outsider.

Focus, focus, focus,

The topic is about Sarah Palin campaigning against Paul Ryan in Wisconsin.

I know , I know , where is the yellow brick road when you really need it ? So much easier to run around aimlessly.

Only in the bizarro world. It helped him lose Iowa. Haven't seen her around much since then.
