Paul Ryan doesn’t seem to understand, when he and Mitt Romney ran for the leadership of the U.S., they were rejected by the people.  He doesn’t seem to understand that –  what he and Romney stood for was REJECTED.   Now we have a person who the people have supported with tons of votes for the present candidate, Donald Trump, more than any candidate in history, and Ryan is fighting the people tooth and toe nail.  Is Ryan a RINO? Yes, because if he loses the support of the moneyed people than he is out in left field without any money.

Behind the scenes, Paul Ryan touts his agenda in Cleveland, not Donald Trump’s

Paul however offered his support to Trump and said that with him America has “a chance at a better way.”  (Sounds like milk toast to me.)
US House Speaker Paul Ryan offered his strongest support yet for Donald Trump’s White House bid on Tuesday at the Republican National Convention, saying the New York businessman he has repeatedly criticised provides America “a chance at a better way.”

Behind the scenes in Cleveland, the highest-ranking elected Republican has been shopping a competing vision for the party, backed by some wealthy donors and Republican establishment figures who see him as the Saviour of a party thrown into turmoil by Trump’s candidacy.

The support reflects deep divisions within the party over Trump’s harder line on stemming illegal immigration and his threats to scrap trade deals that he says have hurt American workers but establishment Republicans view as central to their free trade policies.

(Ryan has to understand if something is not working – you fix it –  you don’t just keep doing the same thing over and over.  You would think Ryan would understand that the people want a harder line which is not asking for much – because right now Obama is following Sharia law not the Constitution.)

The split has created an identity crisis for the party, embodied in the figures of Trump and Ryan. “Everybody knows the tough spot Paul Ryan is in,” said Annie Dickerson, a New York delegate to the convention and close adviser to Republican financier Paul Singer, referring to Ryan’s dilemma in backing a candidate as the party’s standard bearer in the Nov. 8 presidential election who does not represent many of its traditional values.

“He’s the antidote to all the frustration that’s in Cleveland this week,” she said, noting that despite a public push for unity, there are those still unhappy with Trump’s nomination.

(There will always be people who will be against the American people’s wishes because this group wants a Bush One World Order where they can get their hands on more money because they are running out of their own.)

Ryan, 46, is chairman of the convention at which Trump was officially nominated on Tuesday. But he has kept a low profile, avoiding the convention’s opening day on Monday, and instead holding meetings with state delegations and addressing private gatherings of Republican supporters, according to aides and attendees.

At the meetings, according to attendees, Ryan has been pushing his “Better GOP” platform, a six-part agenda that shares strong similarities to the form of conservatism President George W. Bush advocated – reduced regulation, lower taxes, and welfare reform. It contrasts with the speeches typically delivered by Trump, who prefers to lambaste his opponents and skip detailed policy discussions. Doug Heye, a former House Republican leadership aide close to Ryan, said Ryan’s platform “gives them something that they can talk to constituents about that isn’t divisive, that isn’t name calling.”

(Ryan doesn’t understand, Trump only responds if he has been attacked.  That is more than Ryan is doing.  It also reminds me of this war in the Middle East and Obama and the Congress and Senate.  They have idly sat back and allowed millions of people to be killed because Ryan and others have allowed Obama to sit on his hands and do nothing .  So I feel that Trump will listen to his military and do the right thing not “just sit on his hands” like Ryan has been – just going along with Obama to get along.)

(Undoubtedly,  Ryan must be dense in his head – the people do not want anything to do with the Bush’s or the Clinton’s and the One World Order.  He is still trying to push George W Bush’s agenda which put us in a religious war in the Middle East and which we never should have entered.  Ryan needs to move on – cause he is committing political suicide continuing on this path – get over it.  Ryan had his chance and it FAILED.)

(Ryan continues on this path of allowing illegals into the country and no border control.  Ryan continues to want to allow un-vetted Muslims into the country.  And he continues to pick any Trump remark and sides with the main street media who are communists and not for the people of America. I use to like Ryan but when he turned against the American people and sided with Obama and Romney’s side, it told me one thing – he wasn’t for the people.)

POLITICAL SUICIDE

Heye said the approach could help Ryan position himself as the face of the party if Trump loses the election. Ryan has publicly clashed with Trump over the latter’s promise to deport millions of illegal immigrants and end trade deals. He criticized Trump’s call to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the country and called his remarks about the heritage of a Mexican-American judge racist.

Ryan supports free trade and comprehensive immigration reform, and as chairman of the House of Representatives Budget Committee, he authored a document that called for a drastically reduced federal government.

The risk for Ryan is that a swath of the party is moving away from traditional Republican orthodoxy, and by not embracing Trump he could find himself isolated. Some of Trump’s supporters see him as emblematic of the Washington dysfunction that has angered many Republicans.

Mark Bolin, a Canton, Ohio, business owner who supports Trump, called Ryan’s tepid endorsement of Trump “political suicide.” He said Ryan and other Republicans leaders can’t admit their own failures. “Instead of them thinking there’s something wrong with their party, they think it must be us, the American people aren’t smart enough,” Bolin said.

(A man who can admit he lost in his endeavor is a far better man than one who continues to have bitter spit in his mouth – like Ryan.)

Ryan has long been seen as a rising star and some wealthy donors pushed Ryan, who was the vice presidential nominee in 2012, to run for president this year. He declined but hasn’t ruled out running in the future.

Advisers to Singer and the billionaire industrialist Koch brothers say the donors are banking on Ryan to carry the flag for traditional Republican values. “I like Ryan and his day to lead the party will come – very soon, if Trump loses,” said energy magnate Dan Eberhart, another major donor.

Linda Devore, 66, a retired attorney from Fayetteville, North Carolina, who met Ryan for the first time in 2012, rushed over to give him a hug when he arrived on Tuesday morning to speak to her delegation at a hotel in the Cleveland. “He’s just one of the smartest Republicans. That’s what I told him,” Devore said. “He’s a quick wit. He said, ‘Pretty low bar, huh?'”

(He might appear to be one of the smartest Republicans; but, in my day, we called these kind of people – SMART ALECKS – a person who is irritating because they behave as if they know everything.)

(Paul Ryan’s reply, “Pretty low bar,HUH?” Ryan needs to visit Lou Holtz and have him perform an “attitude adjustment” on him.  Ryan has this attitude of “superiority to others” which is  not appropriate for the Speaker of the House.  We need to send him back into the chamber spot.)
