Flip Flop: Donald Trump to endorse Paul Ryan
August 5, 2016
I might have many differences with Donald Trump however up until this point we did agree on one issue–Paul Ryan must go! Paul Ryan is John Boehner-lite and he needs to be replaced. Donald Trump refused to endorse Paul Ryan when given the chance and then a few days later Mike Pence endorsed the Speaker of the House, embarrassing his running-mate.
However it is now being reported in this story that the billionaire businessman is going to reverse course and endorse Paul Ryan tonight, here is more:
Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift that has put the Republican presidential nominee at odds with its highest-ranking elected official.
Trump’s endorsement of Ryan would come at an 8 p.m. ET rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, two sources said.The move comes just days ahead of Ryan’s Tuesday primary matchup with challenger Paul Nehlen, who has played up Trump’s refusal to back the speaker — as well as Ryan’s tepid support for Trump.
Of course there is always the possibility that Donald Trump will use this publicity to go on stage and tell people to “vote their conscience” (although he most likely will word it differently) instead. Either way it cannot play well for him: either he backs down in the face of opposition from the establishment he is supposedly fighting against to back the House Speaker or he does exactly what he attacked Ted Cruz for doing.

Those first two were pretty funny. Somehow I missed the Kerry flip-flop on that issue but then again he has flip-flopped on so many things it is hard to keep track. Thanks for sharing.

Boehner is looking better every day. At least he was drunk most of the time apparently

He was a ‘happy and smiling one’ too!
Actually it is very sad the corruption that goes on and it burns out people’s souls. No excuse, just stating.

Exactly Zip. I think there are probably many of them who go there with good intentions but then they get sucked in by the temptation and succumb to it. They have to know it is wrong but they just are to weak in the end.
