So what does Ryan say when asked if he's endorsing Trump? Republicans can't have their cake and eat it too.

 

[Dany]

ABANDON SHIP

Not strong enough.

 

[Iolo]

Ryan hasn't been defending Trump for months. Seems like status quo ante. Let me know when he unendorses.

 

[GusBus]

This most certainly is going to be talked about and Trump will no doubt start attacking the establishment. This is delicious.

All Trump has to do is focus on Clinton, but all this shit makes it impossible for him not to.

Yup. Let the civil war begin.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Damn, I didn't know viewership was down compared to the 2nd debate of 2012 too. That's kind of crazy.

Jake Sherman:

Ha ha won't defend Trump but won't publicly not endorse him either....


Excellent, pisses everyone off..

especially once media picks up on it and starts asking his surrogates about it. this should dominate until the next awful thing trump said comes out.

I dunno, maybe people are finally getting sick of this shit.

 

[RustyNails]

lol i didn't see trump tweeted this

Hildog stepped in it with that one. Trump is a pretty good counter puncher, and Hillary isn't really.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

I just had a cousin post on Facebook that he wishes Laura Ingraham could moderate the next debate.

Be right back, putting myself up for adoption.

Yup. His surrogates will get asked about it and clearly they have their talking points to attack the establishment.

 

[Box of Kittens]

In trying to cynically court Trump's base without being tied to him, they deserve to accomplish neither.

PAUL RYAN just told House Republicans that if Hillary Clinton wins the White House, Republicans can't let her have a blank check in congress

Put this all together-- Ryan is basically done with trump. Wants to keep the house.

Jake Sherman:

And yet, no unendorsement. Time for the Clinton campaign to nuke this party and drop the family ending oppo on Trump.

 

[Teggy]

RYAN IS OUT!!

 

[studyguy]

lol i didn't see trump tweeted this

Honest Abe never lied.

I thought I was in kindergarten again with that line of discussion during the debate.

Looks like a quality poll (North Carolina):

Richard Burr (R) – 47 percent

Deborah Ross (D) – 42 percent

Sean Haugh (L) – 6 percent

(Don’t know) – 4 percent

(Refused) – 1 percent

-----

Pat McCrory (R) – 42 percent

Roy Cooper (D) – 49 percent

Lon Cecil (L) – 3 percent

(Don’t know) – 5 percent

(Refuse) – 1 percent

There was a ton of hype for the second debate after Obama imploded in the first one.

The good news for Trump is that he usually takes this kind of thing well and probably won't lash out wildly at Ryan and other Republicans

The very BEST temperament.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Even the Clinton camp knew she was a weak candidate. Will this thread ever agree?

It'd be funnier.

 

[Plinko]

This is absolutely no different than what Paul Ryan has been doing up to this point.

Perfect story to talk about for days then!

 

[Bowdz]

Hildog stepped in it with that one. Trump is a pretty good counter puncher, and Hillary isn't really.

But once again, it proves that most people didn't even read the wikileaks speeches, but just skimmed through the headlines. Fucking Sam Sanders on NPR said "Guys, leave Lincoln out of this alright?" It like, motherfucker that is the literal context and quote Hillary made in that speech.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

It'd be funnier.

"Hillary, next question is for you. Do you floss after eating the unborn?"

 

[Plinko]

Even the Clinton camp knew she was a weak candidate. Will this thread ever agree?

Of course she is. She has a TON of baggage. That's why I'm worried about 2020, but there's still plenty of time between now and then.

 

[Boke1879]

Who cares if Ryan doesn't pull his endorsement. He's just going to look stupid when he's asked about all of this, and even more like a jack ass when more shit gets released.

 

[excelsiorlef]

No...

Especially when you just pasted random uncited text...

Down from 2012 too? I hadn't expected that.

This isn't a midterm election, where turnout much lower. Reps will be in serious trouble if they act like it is

That's one big plus from this group election: ALL of her dirty laundry is getting aired. It's also why it's so fucking important to take back the House. If she can actually implement her agenda for 2 years, she can run on her record and not just deal with personality attacks.

Josh Marshall‏ @joshtpm
So Ryan tells House caucus he'll no longer defend Trump, everyone save themselves. IOW he wants credit for dropping Trump without doing it.

Josh Marshall‏ @joshtpm
Wow, word off the Hill is Ryan went even more full weasel than he'd been on Trump until now.

Also weird to see Josh Marshall with a Kermit picture. Is he part of the Pepes vs Kermit war?

 

[BitStyle]

yasssss, I hope he gets more of this

lol. Will we get more "Rove math" during election night?

I'll agree when she loses an election.

They will keep electing loons in the primaries!

Yes, everyone here agrees liberals are bedwetters by nature.

Josh actually originated the Kermit counter-revolution I believe.

Yup. If she can actually get in the White House and create positive change in the 4 years then she can let that be the record when she runs again in 2020. It will be hard if she does not get the house though.

Good. Ryan deserves to sink with this ship.

 

[RustyNails]

Ryan wants to have his cake and eat it. Endorse Trump but ditch him in election efforts. Public vs private anyone??

Josh actually originated the Kermit counter-revolution I believe.

Oh really? That's pretty crazy lol

CNN - Ryan to GOP: "You all need to do what's best for you"

Ryan is trying to have it both ways...it wont work.

Apologies if I'm confusing you with someone else who was an unmitigated asshole to Sanders supporters during the primaries?

 

[benjipwns]

Why won't Hillary agree to a debate hosted by Sean Hannity? What is she hiding? If she can't stand up to journalists not in the tank for her how can she stand up to America's enemies like Canada and Mexico?
