Multiple networks just announced that Ryan has been told by a couple of key House supporters that if he doesn't fall in line and support Trump that he risks being voted out as Speaker of the House.

Wow! They had to try like heck to get him to take the job in the first place, and now they're threatening him with that job? Betcha he's not too afraid of that happening!

Anyone who claims to a GOP and stated to vote for Hillary is not a GOP member anymore. As simple as that. Not voting is an option of the voter but voting for Hillary is what other than endorsing Dems agenda.

Since the Establishment of both the Democratic and Republican parties seem to be Statists first and party members second, the parties have become sides of the same coin. Sure, one is less overt about their Statist intentions and the other seems to be fully embracing them these days, but neither cares for Constitutional restraints on Government or individual liberty. We are rapidly approaching days of strife akin to those experienced during the Civil War, and the Revolutionary War before that. In such times the Parties won't matter so much as the character of the men and women in them. It has been a while since character really mattered to most folks -- too long -- and we are reaping the harvest of indulgent ways.

Typical of the GOP. Fight each other then see if the country can endure a progressive president.

I would think though that if he intends to run for President in 2020 or beyond that he doesn't want to be voted out.

If Paul Ryan and a dog are both on the primary ballot in 2020, the dog gets my vote.

At least the dog would be loyal!

100%.

I think anyone who opposes Trump should ask themselves two questions:

1. Do you think that it is good for the country to have power concentrated in the collective hands of establishment political parties, the media, and the "educated" class?

2. Why do you think that all of the above groups are so frightened by Trump?

I will say however, to my surprise, neither Cruz nor Rubio have stabbed Trump in the back, at least for now.

Bush family I am disgusted with.

Trump's candidacy has really shed light on how the political system works and what the people in it truly are. Trump is not even president yet and he is already cleaning house.

Cruz is in a tough spot, of his own making. He felt the backlash from holding out his support for Donald for so long. He knows that Texas is strongly supporting Donald, and he wants to remain electable to a second term in 2018.

Rubio is essentially in the same position. Donald is popular among Florida republicans.

Good, I hope his statement to others will bite him in the rear. If I'm not mistaken, he said everyone (politicians) needs to decide who to back for the purpose of self preservation. He's worried his peeps wont vote him in next term if he backs Trump. I hope that bites him in the rear so bad he aint got no rear left. (Hows that for gooder English LOL). But then again, arent all politicians made up of 100% rears?
