    Well, I suggested that Trump might help Ryan's primary opponent for not supporting his candidacy earlier this week. However, I thought they would at least meet first before Trump or any of his surrogates actually pursued this option. Make no mistake about it, they have the resources to give Ryan a run for his money. While Trump has been criticized for not being a real conservative by WI talk radio, Ryan has as well, at least by national conservative talk radio. I'm not sure what the guys in WI think of Ryan.

    Yeah, that'll work-because Palin has such a stunning record of success in politics! :roll:

    It's going to force Paul Ryan to spend money if nothing else.

    Palin's career ended when she lost the 2008 election. Now, she's a wild chicken running around like it lost its head, her brain froze from all that cold, Alaskan weather, trying to appeal to people who once tried thinking she was credible.

    Palin can't defeat Ryan by herself. However, this could be the start of a movement where Trump backers and very conservative Republicans come together to try and oust Ryan.

    I'm going to help Ryan's opponent too. They thought Eric Cantor (another amnesty shill) was unbeatable too. Ryan was planning to bring up the Gang of Eight after the 2014 election again to pass amnesty until Cantor got beat by an unknown economics professor Dave Brat - almost solely over the issue of amnesty. We are going to have to keep booting out the amnesty supporters until they realize we don't want to reward millions of illegal alien lawbreakers.

    LOL, just another example of how the Republican Party included radicals like Palin, for the short term gains, and now have mortgaged their future for national politics. :)

    Exactly. Paul Ryan is actually playing this smart. He knows once Trump loses that he will be a black eye for the party and anyone supporting him now will have to answer to that in the future. Smart move by him.

    They are running out of candidates to field because of the strategic direction they took.

    They put all their eggs in to the basket of disrupting government to stop Obama from being successful. Instead of focusing on their own party and their own direction. It was a terrible strategy that didn't work. Now they have a completely dysfunctional party that has no clue what to do. Hillary is going to have an easy time with Trump. Trump's only chance is to get a VP that understands politics and policy.

    I think Palin, like Trump, is an unqualified narcissist. To think she can bring down Ryan is ridiculous.

    Ryan is a Chamber of Commerce Republican. Every budget he's ever come up with has been significantly in the red. He is one of the major problems with Washington and why we're in so much debt.

    She's not capable of doing it alone. Her voice reaches a percentage of Republicans (maybe 20% or so). Others will need to join the movement for it to be effective. Trump has major influence.

    Thank yo for making my point. I find it amusing how so-called conservatives/Republicans claim to be the spokesperson for the platform. Your ilk lives in a political fantasy world, if you think you can win with a no compromise ideology.

    She's just a tabloid celebrity now, and her sell date was over a while back.

    All the scummy progressive shills sure stand with him, though.
    If Palin in any way can help to stop Ryan then she's welcomed to try.

    The sad thing is that there still is a small number of imbeciles who really believe her to be credible.

    Do not over-estimate the power of the Clinton Wench and do not under-estimate the voting power of the Trumpista horde.

    Seeing Palin and Trump together is a comedians dream come true. That is absolutely hilarious. I honestly can't believe any grown adult would support those two. Just a testament to how bad public education is in America.

    And you think the Speaker of the House is likely to have trouble finding money for his campaign?

    Frankly, I like Palin. But I think she is desperate to stay relevant in the public eye, and is hoping for almost any job in a Trump administration.

    I didn't vote in 2008, and that was mainly because of Palin (the war monger McCain had a little to do with it). I think your right though that she is trying to stay relevant, but in my opinion, she never was relevant. I don't think she is smart enough to be in politics. She should have been a journalist, or an actress.
