Trump’s Ryan endorsement infuriates anti-establishment activists: ‘Sold us out’
« on: August 06, 2016, 01:53:52 pm »
 By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Friday, August 5, 2016

Donald Trump on Friday endorsed House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, ending days of hesitation by the Republican presidential nominee to get behind the party’s most powerful elected leader.

“In our shared mission to make American great again, I support and endorse our speaker of the House, Paul Ryan. He’s a good man,” Mr. Trump said at a campaign rally in Mr. Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin.

The endorsement sent a clear message that the New York billionaire was ready to work with the Republican Party establishment that had opposed his candidacy for the start. However, it also infuriated grass-roots conservative who wanted Mr. Trump to help overthrow establishment figures such as Mr. Ryan, who are viewed as fake conservatives or RINOs, the derogatory acronym for those deemed to be Republicans in name only.

Mr. Trump had withheld his endorsement in Mr. Ryan’s primary race against an anti-establishment rival Paul Nehlen, who is a strong Trump supporter. Mr. Trump in recent days had said that he “wasn’t there yet” in backing Mr. Ryan, echoing the speaker’s earlier comments when he resisted endorsing Mr. Trump.

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

On one hand the Trumpsters call people who don't like their hero terrible names and wish bad things to happen to them for not supporting Trump. On the other hand they demand that the anti-Trump people support their hero because Hillary.
They frequently unload on Ryan and other Pubbies they hate for not supporting Trump. For Trumpsters, Ryan is the worst. Now what do they say? Their hero has made a deal with Ryan. I thought the Trumpsters loved The Donald and his dealmaking.
The people who are anti-Trump are that way for a reason. He is the worst Pubbie prez candidate ever.  The only thing going for him is that Hillary is an awful candidate as well.
What the pro-Trump people have to do is convince the anti-Trump that not only would Trump be better than Hillary. So far they haven't done a very good job ...and Trump, himself, has advanced that perception of him being unqualified with his dizzy statements and actions before and after the convention.
Many of the screwball positions Trump advances are directly contra standard conservative policy. Promising to build The Wall does not excuse his dimwitted positions on a host of other vital issues.

I've got news for the anti-establishment activists:  Trump sold you out a long, long time ago.

If you're looking for an icon of conservatism, Ted is it.  If you're looking to win national elections, he isn't

Ted is never going to be the nominee if he essentially runs against the rest of the party.  That should be self-evident, but apparently not.
