And according to CNN, that message isn't going over well with some of his members on his conference call.

Yup....and here as well:

Paul Ryan tells Republicans he won't defend Donald Trump, will focus on keeping majority - CBS News

I guess there's one man who didn't believe the spin that Trump won the debate and righted his ship.

Ah, a man of conscience and decency. As such, he will be slaughtered by the army of basket weavers. . . . RINO, establishment, blah, blah. 3 . . . .2 . . . .1 . . . .

I will not defend Paul Ryan.
He is a hypocrite that has support everything Obama ask for.
He is part of the GOP establishment Trump is running against to restore government and put the people back in control of the government. Not the servant of it.

Only now, really?

There are a few smart Republicans who saw through Trump and disavowed him even before his nomination. The fact that there were so few only shows the state of that party. Sad, we really need more than one adequate party to have a healthy democracy.

The RINOs denounce Trump every couple of months. I call them Pharises because they are self-righteous hypocrites looking for an excuse to get rid of him as they are losing their influence over the American people.

Call me crazy, but Ryan's comments about women aren't really that much better than Trump's vulgarity. What Trump said is fairly typical locker-room talk, which I can see would trouble some women who don't realize guys say crap like that. It's the tiniest bit surprising to me that no women have said a word about Ryan's tweet, though. While I don't remember the entire thing (and am feeling too lazy to look it up), there were two words he used that had me cringing; "championed" and "revered".


Sounds fine as long as you don't look too deeply, but think about those two specific words. As a woman, I hate the attitude some men have, that women can't do anything themselves, need a man to protect them, and should be put up on a pedestal. Ugh. To me, that's as bad as seeing a woman only as a sex object. We need a balance between these two idiots.

Is not Trump the 'real' RINO? Last night he completely divorced the GOP. Just sayin' you guys need a party of your own.

One of my co workers said last week she wanted to kick Trump in the balls. My grandmother wanted to stuff her sock in his mouth while watching the debate.

The man is vile and honestly when I see a trump sticker on people's car I question their moral compass.
