Trump refusing to endorse Ryan has been a huge boost to Nehlin as it got him into the news. Something Ryan has been working to avoid. He learned from Cantor's loss what NOT to do. ie-give your unknown opponent screen time.

Trump shit all over Ryan's strategy.

Hopefully it works.

To add, Nehlin has been all over the news of late.

In other words: Ryan is reeling right now. In reality, despite the Ryan campaign’s claims to the contrary, Trump’s refusal thus far to endorse Ryan has created a major headache for the Speaker’s campaign, as it has launched Nehlen into the stratosphere in terms of national—and local—attention. National reporters from the Washington Post, Politico and New York Times are crawling around Wisconsin’s first congressional district, while Nehlen takes the GOP mantle onto local and national television with his Fox News appearance on Thursday morning, MSNBC hit later in the day, and CNN yesterday.

“I’m supporting Donald Trump because Donald Trump is against this trade deal, this Trans Pacific Partnership, this job killing trade deal that is going to bring cheap labor into this country,” Nehlen said in an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Thursday. “That’s going to disproportionately hurt blacks and immigrants who are already here. Mr. Trump is also for securing the border, which Mr. Ryan is against.”

Nehlen continued by calling Ryan “the mercenary champion” of the Trans Pacific Partnership, “this absolutely job-killing, district-leveling trade deal that gives up U.S. sovereignty.”

A moment later, when Mitchell tried to catch him up on Trump, Nehlen fired back: “Why are you asking me questions about this? Why aren’t you asking me questions about the trade deal?”

After some crosstalk, Nehlen talked over Mitchell: “You should ask me about the trade deal.”

A flustered and indignant Mitchell replied: “I’ll decide what I want to ask you.”

After more back and forth with Mitchell about how Pence endorsed but Trump didn’t solely on the basis that Pence is friends with Ryan—and wasn’t supporting Ryan’s open borders policies—Nehlen trucked right on through with his populist message again.

“My message hasn’t changed from day one,” Nehlen said. “I would run on Trans Pacific Partnership alone. Paul Ryan whipped the votes to get fast track Trade Promotion Authority to sell our jobs to foreign countries. He absolutely worked on that. Paul Ryan owns it. He can’t say he doesn’t agree with it, because when he did that that contract was already written. It was already set up—that treaty was already set up.”

Nehlen was referring to how Ryan’s campaign website now inaccurately claims that “Paul is withholding his support for TPP because he believes President Obama did a poor job negotiating the agreement.”

Ryan has not withheld his support, either as Speaker of the House or beforehand when he was now-former Speaker John Boehner’s right hand man as the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, for the Trans Pacific Partnership. He was the critical linchpin to driving the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) fast track authority bill that would grease the skids for congressional approval of the TPP through the House of Representatives.

Who is Tim Huelskamp? A class A certified cuck. These are the kinds of wussies running the Republican party into the ground:





At 5:55 Tim gives one of the weakest answers to the question of "what his disagreements with Trump on trade, immigration, and entitlement reform, Tim's first answer is to claim that Trump wants to raise taxes on the rich, and raising taxes on the rich is not a conservative platform. He then segways into a tirade on why Trump is too flexible and liable to change his positions at any moment and that Trump will not be pro-life once in office.

The entire interview feels like Tim just gives off scripted answers from the Ted Cruz camp. But the worst part is at 9:54, Krauthammer asks Tim if will endorse Trump after he becomes the nominee, and Tim first tries to dodge the question but is pressed - to which he says he doesn't know and needs to ask his wife!!!

Who is his wonderful family?



Can't make this shit up! Neither of them have any kids of their own! He's the bitch cuck and she calls all the shots in the family.

This interview SUNK his re-election chances. No one saw it coming. This win wasn't Eric Cantor big, but it still surprised a lot of people.

The guy who beat him can be seen debating Huelskamp here:





Dr. Roger Marshall aligned himself against Obamacare. He was also very quiet on Trump, immigration, or the TPP. His issues page:

http://www.kansansformarshall.com/issues

Is quite scarce. It says he wants to incentivize businesses in America and it almost sounds like he's opposed to TPP, but then I noticed his endorsement page:

http://www.kansansformarshall.com/endorsements

Quote:Kansas Farm Bureau
Kansas Livestock Association
U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Anything with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce means establishment Republicans working to destroy America for the almighty dollar, for big corporations to make an extra buck at some sweatshop worker's expense and American dude going unemployed. The US Chamber of Commerce also supports full amnesty on their website.

So this guy may not be the cuck Huelskamp was, but he's also not going to be friends with Trump either most likely. Huelskamp appeared to be a conservative who wasn't bought out, but he also made too many enemies including with Trump supporters and now the US Chamber of Commerce moved in for the kill and put in someone who could very well be a huge puppet for establishment Republicans (which are barely different than establishment Democrats).

I'm sure they ran an aggressive media campaign to support Marshall and outspend Huelskamp. But ultimately, if Huelskamp hadn't gone full cuck with the #NeverTrump bullshit, he wouldn't have lost to Marshall. It is interesting to see that there are three main components within the Republican party: Trumpers (biggest by far), Establishment CoC Republicans, and Ultra-Conservatives (the smallest by far).

So overall, it's a positive sign that the Trump train is having big effects on down ballot races, we shall see the big test of Nehlen vs. Ryan. If Ryan gets booted then it's a very good sign Trump is totally taking over the party and the Chamber of Commerce's tyranny over the Republican party is coming to an end.

I wouldn't read too much into this. That's western Kansas, a land without cities and the important endorsements are the Kansas Farm Bureau and Kansas Livestock Association.

Boehner kicked Huelskamp off the ag committee, which is a political death sentence out there, even with Koch backing.

Having said that, I hope Nehlen wins, and I think Trump has given him a boost, but farmers care about agriculture above all else.

Post: #30

I'm not holding my breath, but a Nehlen win would bode well for Trump.

Post: #31

Predictit has him at 14 cents at NO for Paul Ryan. This is a good deal considering the polls is close to 50/50.

When does this vote for Ryan or Nehlen take place?

I remember seeing that live, It was one of the worst answers anyone has ever given to any question including the democrats answering the DNC leaks. Its pretty clear he was thinking about what type of strap on will penetrate him later that evening.

I'm willing to bet it's made up entirely. I don't trust anything the MSM says anymore.

It might not be made up. If WI was cucked enough to send him to Washington, they might be cucked enough to keep him there.

Trump just endorsed Ryan.

I was really hoping Trump wouldn't endorse Ryan. Ryan's a globalist weasel, a total R.I.N.O. I have no doubt this "endorsement" was made solely for political reasons, perhaps to suggest stronger unity between Trump and Pence but still. My hope was Trump would endorse Nehlen, Ryan's competitor, but if Nehlen were to lose -- as it's been suggested is the likely outcome, Trump would gain nothing and very likely stir up even more trouble for himself with the GOPe.

Post: #43

Post: #44

It's one of those things that probably had to be done. For "party unity", so the media stops talking about it (and goes back to making shit up on some other storyline), whatever.

It's a moot point ultimately:

-Republicucks will feel a little better thinking Trump's been brought to heel, he's on board with their agenda, etc.
-Anyone who was voting for Nehlen before should still be voting for him, this doesn't change anything.

Seriously, anyone who was planning to vote for Nehlen but instead votes for Ryan because Trump "endorsed" him is a fucking moron.

Post: #45

If Trump endorsed Nehlen and Nehlen was slaughtered by Ryan which is pretty likely, it would be a full news cycle of crap that will continue to dog him instead of discussion of real issues. I can already imagine the headlines:

"Trump issues Kiss of Death to Nehlen with Endorsement"
"Mr Speaker's Win Proves Trump Has Zero Influence In GOP"
"GOP Base Is Tuning Out Party Nominee"
"Everything Trump Touches Turns To Sh*t"
"Trump Shows Poor Judgement"
"Trump Insults Catholics Across World By Not Standing With Ryan, Pope Francis to Blame Trump for Global Warming"
"P90X Community Marches In Solidarity Against Trump After Dissing Home Workout Legend Paul Ryan"
"We Know Trump Is A Racist. But Non-Endorsement of Paul Ryan Proves He Is A Widow's Peakophobe"

Post: #46

So.. maybe he is thinking his endorsement is viewed in a negative light, to get Nehlen to win?

Post: #47

They endorsed probably because internal polling showed that Ryan would win in a landslide. Now that Trump endorsed, they can say that Ryan won because of him. If Trump endorsed Niehlan and he lost, it would hurt Trump. They must have calculated that Niehlan's odds are impossible.

Post: #48

Trump endorsed for party unity and both he and Nehlen look like the better men for being humble and gracious. The media have been denied the the prospect of a bitter war in the Republican party and Trump can remove Ryan at a later date.

Trump also got a sweetener from Ryan with the TPP vote being put off until after Obama has gone so it is effectively dead in the water.

Post: #49

Also, by endorsing Ryan that fuckstick should toe the line a bit better the next few months versus passive aggressively dropping his dick in every now and then. Ryan should be quiet from here on out.

Post: #50

I figured Trump would endorse Ryan eventually. Politics is a team sport. Trump is popular, but he is facing a cuck revolt.

I thought it was really funny the way he said,"I'm just not there yet." He was using Ryan's words against him.

A lot of the press portrayed this as a refusal to endorse...To me it seemed like trolling.
