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.
What a bunch of baloney. Ryan publicly proclaimed - without being asked, mind you - that he was not yet ready to support the Republican nominee. Trump said he was not yet ready to support Ryan's policies. Since Ryan's policies go in direct opposition to what is good for Americans, Trump stated it was time politicians started looking out for the American voter. Ryan was pretty mild and Trump lost his shyt immediately? Biased much?

Give me a break. I could care less about the congressmen Ryan is trying to protect. It's time those leeches sucking up our tax dollars start looking out for the people's interest.

Not really. Unfortunately, more of a reflection on the stupidity of the American sheeple. Stupid, dumb, and outrageous pay off big time in the good ol' USofA, these days - sorta' goes along with the dumbing down of our parenting (or rather lack thereof) and our schools being second-rate. You know - like "intellectual elite" and "highly educated" - being dirty words. Who needs an education when you can be 'stupefyingly stupid' and earn millions? Great example for the young.......don't aspire to improve yourself - just aspire to be stupid - because it pays off.

Not even close - and I'm not a Ryan supporter. Ryan will NEVER be voted out of office. Never.

Paul Ryan sold shares on same day as private briefing of banking crisis | US news | The Guardian

I don't know if Palin helps or hinders, I'm not a huge fan. However, Paul Ryan needs to go. I don't blame him for selling, but it's not fair that he got a heads up. This is why people are upset with the system.

Should that not be classified as insider trading? Does it make any difference if it happens to the politician or it happens to the stock broker? They both have advance notice of the pending change in fortune.

Politicians have exempted themselves from insider trading rules. Of course it's insider trading and would get anyone else jail time.

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.
The people of Wisconsin don't elect Paul Ryan - one Didrict in Wisconsin elects him.
Ryan's District voted for Donald Trump. The lesson of Eric Cantor went right over their little Pointy Heads.

Ryan and the Insider Political Elites have one Agenda and Trump and the Voters have another Agenda.
Ryan opened a can of worms when he said his Agenda is more important than the will of the Party he is supposed to lead. He may have to eat those worms.

In Ryan's district Cruz got 75,869 (51%) votes this year compared to Trump's 48,206 (32%) votes.

One of these days the lamestream Republicans will learn not to cross Sarah Palin.
