One can only hope that Congressman Ryan is shown the door by the True Americans of his district. Such obsequious behavior! The Congressman's grovelling before and capitulation to ...... has been physically revolting to witness - the man is even worse than former-Congressman Boehner.

No, I Will Never 'Come Around' to Supporting TrumpJonah Goldberg National Review April 16, 2016 ... It looks like the Trump body snatching virus I wrote about last month is spreading again. For a moment, after Wisconsin, it seemed like it might be going into remission. Nope, it's actually spiking.
Last night the New York Post endorsed Donald Trump. After I criticized the editorial on Twitter, a Trump supporter tweeted at me "No Goldberg, you are wrong. Support the front runner and stop trying to burn the party. Unite it." ...
On the drive in to my office this morning, I heard Hillsdale College president Larry Arnn, one of the wisest and gentlest souls I've ever encountered, describe Trump as a "good and honest man" and "quite brilliant." A few minutes ago on Twitter, the great semi-retired editorialist Don Surber said to me, regarding Trump, "You will come around. Others may not because they are childish." ...
If a president Trump does the right thing, I will say he did the right thing -- because that's my job. But I will never look at that fleshy pile of vanity, crudity, and deceit and say, "There's a good and honest man." Yes, yes, we all believe in redemption, so maybe he could have some Oval Office conversion, find a God that doesn't consider profit maximization to be the key measure of a man's soul, and become a good and honest man. Maybe the sudden bowel-stewing realization that he's wildly unqualified for the job of commander-in-chief will arouse in him a humility never displayed in his gaudy romp across our airwaves ...

'He Can Change': The New York Post Endorses Carol's BoyfriendCharles C. W. Cooke National Review April 15, 2016 Carol's boyfriend is a mercurial figure -- a potentially nice guy, but unreliable, dangerous, and married to someone else. Exactly who he is can be hard to make out amid his capriciousness, his lying, and his occasional descents into violence...
But he can change. What else to expect from someone who reflects the baser passions? It'll be different when Carol fixes him. It'll be different when he leaves his wife. It'll be different when he kicks the habit. It'll be different when he gets back on his feet again. The therapy will change him. And Carol can learn to stop provoking him...

It is rather amazing that so many people believe a guy who has failed at so many businesses, conned so many people, never been elected to any office, knows so little about how our government operates, and has the temperament of a 13 year old bully should be the commander in chief of the United States. Has their anger really made them that stupid? Have we had an outbreak of lead in all the municipal water supplies?
We would be better served by just giving the next PowerBall winner the nuclear launch codes.

Some say that trust, the most important thing in people getting along, is slipping away in America. I am trying to comprehend the role trust has in the matter of supporting Donald Trump, an extremely untrustworthy individual.
Do only very stupid people trust scoundrels? Maybe the problem in America is not trust, but stupidity.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.

GOP's 'rigged' rules give Trump a big N.Y. victoryAndrew Malcolm Investor's Business Daily April 20, 2016 Thanks to the so-called "rigged" rules of the Republican Party's presidential primary process, Donald Trump won 95% of New York state's convention delegates Tuesday with only 60% of the votes.
The political newcomer has been complaining about his well-organized main challenger, Ted Cruz, collecting delegates out of proportion to voter support, according to each state's sometimes arcane selection rules, all of which were written and published last October.
But Tuesday night Trump was not complaining.

The "rigged" rules in Wyoming and Colorado gave Canuck Ted delegates when no voters actually voted. So, there is that. Clearly the GOP sucks at the 2016 nomination, thingy.

Rules are rules. They are clearly more democratic than in the past, when state party bosses would just make up a slate of delegates to send to the convention to be traded for favors or sold for cash.

It's a private club, they can make or change the rules whenever they want and for whatever reasons. It's like a private party and Trump is not invited yet and probably won't be.
