Sad... the Government is corrupt beyond our wildest dreams.

If they deny Trump, I will never vote again.

It would be a guaranteed loss to whoever takes the nomination by that method, and Ryan doesn't need to be on another losing Presidential ticket. His political career would be over.

What changed? Apparently a day. The one that Waldo is citing is from today. What you are citing is from October 2015, and March 15.

Quote from Waldo's link:

Quote:
But Ryan's spokeswoman, AshLee Strong, said in a statement on Wednesday that 'the speaker is grateful for the support, but he is not interested. He will not accept a nomination and believes our nominee should be someone who ran this year.'
Wednesday being TODAY.

Trump supporters need to create their own party,

I suggest:

WNP, white nationalist party of America.

While that might sound great to some, I'm afraid if the GOP goes down, they are going to take the rest of us with them.

If the GOP refuses to give Trump the nom, I'm also afraid that he is right that there will be riots. If they give him the nom and put up a third party candidate, it is possible that no one would get a majority in general and it will go to Congress-which the GOP has control over. Paul Ryan could very well chose the next prez. And IF perchance that Paul Ryan is that 3rd party candidate and no one gets the majority, it is possible that Paul Ryan could chose himself as the next prez.


I am not saying that this WILL happen, I'm saying that it COULD happen. All of this could be a moot point because Hillary/Bernie could win the general with a majority.

I'm wondering what will happen to the GOP after this election cycle. I really do believe that it will cease to exist as we know it. It may become a couple of different parties. I just hope we all survive to see what happens.


The times they are a changing.

They've been working that plan for the last 8. Most Americans are tired of them putting party before country, and most see through their crap. Sad that they are willing to take down our country if they can't win it all. Not sad, sickening!
