The vote is in Wisconsin, but wont Trump and Palin work to remove him from power? He has also floated the idea of firing Reince Priebus.

I don't know if that is true or not. This business with the House started long before Trump was nominated. Boehner was thrown out before Ryan and Ryan as it turns out is no different.

Cruz could have won and IMO there would still have been a movement to throw Ryan out.

I believe Trump is a result of the House (and Senate) leadership not listening to the ones that voted them in, Trump isn't the reason people want to get rid of them.

I can't imagine any way Priebus keeps his job. No one is going to happy with his performance.

According to Open Secrets, Ryan has >$9M in corporate and PAC money behind him.

Nehlen has $0. He is the only other Republican running in that District.

I don't think people in Wisconsin care about what New Yorkers and some quitter from Alaska think should be best for their interest.

I don't think Ryan will lose his seat. Trump didn't lose Wisconsin by coincidence.

Fine. We Democrats would welcome the seat.

Your use of the term "globalist agenda" is meaningless. What you are saying is that the U.S. should be isolationist.

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.
This is my original post, which is on topic.

So you cut out the main part and give an inane answer that is not relevant at all.

You don't want posts that are on topic either.

Anything that links Trump and Palin together is a win for the Democrats. Go, Caribou Barbie!

Nope Globalist Agenda /= Isolationist.

Ryan = Globalist Agenda = Unfair "free trade" = Open Borders = Amnesty for Illegals = US World Police

OMG!!! If that happens, I'm jumping over the wall with the Mexicans and taking my chances there, having Caribou Barbie second in command and that close to the "button", is more than I can handle.
