      No I think the goal this time was to give trump blue balls so next time he’ll beg for it.

      Think of Ryan as a gold digger working a rich guy.

    Why can we not afford 4 more years of Obama’s policies? On measure things aren’t bad, the major problem seems to be the fuckheads in the Republican House/Senate.

    I can’t decide if these people are just completely unhinged or they have decided to the entire country with a lying racist idiot because he plays for their team.

    I mean really, we aren’t in two major wars in a deep recession bordering on depression with extreme unemployment like we were with Bush, really what is so bad right now that it is better to risk things with Donald Trump?

      This is what gets me. After Bush, Obama and the democrats could rightly say “look at what Bush did; we were attacked on 9/11, are stuck in 2 wars (one of which was meaningless), and the economy is on its knees.”

      Now the republicans seem to only be able to say “Obamacare is bad,” nothing else. There’s no real urgency to move away from where we are today. The economy is recovered mostly, wars have wound down, Osama is dead.

      Why can’t we afford more of the same things that have brought us back up? Trump uses the line “Make America Great Again,” the implication being that it is not great now. Isn’t it bad to shit on your own country like that?

      The whole goal of the GOP for the past eight years has been to block every measure taken by the white house in an attempt to stagnate progress enough to flip the country back to republicans come 2017. It has nothing to do with how good or bad the country is doing these days. It only has to do with the GOP wanting total control after the election.

      I assume their narrative, if Trump gets elected, will almost immediately change to “see? Shit’s great again.”

      I wonder how Trump is going to handle it when the bill for their support comes due? When they start agitating him to approve creationism, Christian prayer in the public schools, repeal of Roe v. Wade, zero gun control and the rest of their right-wing agenda... Trump is, after all, a cosmopolitan New Yorker, as nutty as he is, and some of that traditional Republican platform is going to crash against his own beliefs (if he even remembers them). He may see just how fast his supporters can turn on him.

    Seeing as they have only a few differences...

    Does this mean that Paul Ryan and the Republican Party support the goals of William Daniel Johnson’s sect of White Nationalism:

    “No person shall be a citizen of the United States unless he is a non-Hispanic white of the European race, in whom there is no ascertainable trace of Negro blood, nor more than one-eighth Mongolian, Asian, Asia Minor, Middle Eastern, Semitic, Near Eastern, American Indian, Malay or other non-European or non-white blood, provided that Hispanic whites, defined as anyone with an Hispanic ancestor, may be citizens if, in addition to meeting the aforesaid ascertainable trace and percentage tests, they are in appearance indistinguishable from Americans whose ancestral home is in the British Isles or Northwestern Europe. Only citizens shall have the right and privilege to reside permanently in the United States.”— William Daniel Johnson (as “James O. Pace”), Amendment to the Constitution

    I mean this is who will be representing Trump this summer at the RNC.
    So now Its safe to assume that Paul Ryan also supports this as well right?

      No this is something Trump’s delegate and his group champions.
      It seems the Republican Party is now openly becoming the party of White Nationalism.

    What’s fun about all of the Republicans who have hesitations about Trump is the number of them that classify the nature of those concerns as something other than based in temperament and character. A few of the #NeverTrump people do get into the realm of calling him a sociopath and a narcissist, but even they don’t talk very much about the xenophobia, racism and misogyny, and a lot of the ones who do talk about it merely mention it as a component of his message he should probably tone down.

    For his part, Paul Ryan has done all he can to underscore that his concerns with Trump are not that he’s running a bigoted campaign or that he’s a demagogue. Those things, it seems, are aspects of Trump that Paul Ryan is happy to live with. This is how a party dies.

      It’s never been about the policy, it’s always been about how he communicates the policy...not enough dog whistle.

      But more recently, Trump has talked about how he’s going to raise taxes on the rich and protect Social Security, etc. So, it will be curious to see what happens.

      This is really the biggest problem. Trump’s not saying anything a lot of GOP voters (not enough to win, but a substantial minority) don’t want to hear. It’s just that to this point, the GOP has soft-pedalled it. Spitting out the dogwhistle was too politically risky. The irony is that Trump can spit it out because he has no Senate seat to protect, no political career to burn. He’s completely unelectable, but he can tell enough voters what they want to hear to win a primary.
