Congratulations establishment.
It's nice that the GOP is giving a rape victim some hope

Also he's a literal traitor

but that's how the GOP works now.
Hillary could finger herself on stage during a national debate and still beat the shit out of him in the general.
>>70676189
Why is his head so small?
>>70676189
I'm gonna win President!
Even if he's elected he won't be President of the USA. That's where this country officially ends.
>>70676189
Why don't you guys like him? I thought he was some tea party guy who's good at playing to both the establishment and the fringe. Sounds like he'd be a great candidate for 'getting thigns done', insofar as those things are selling out the middle class and shipping jobs overseas while enforcing anti-gay legislation etc etc.
Uninformed leftie asking btw.

^ That's why.
Also, he couldn't even debate this creepy pervert.
>>70676189
Fuck Paul Ryan and fuck the GOP
>>70677235
Really? I thought the /pol/ reply would be to deny that that's what he would do, refer to libertarianism and/or conservatism and "personal freedom". I guess /pol/ has changed since I last spent any amount of time here a few years ago. So, more natsoc now?
>>70677065
He's a neo-con RINO globalist shill.
>>70677065
lel, the "tea party guys" like Rubio and Cruz and Ryan, just used it to get elected
>>70677584
Paeloconservative like Trump and Buchanan, if you're referring to most Americans here.
I dont understand. Does this mean that he is officially running?
I dont get it.
>>70676189
The Grand Old Party is now..
The Tyrant Party!!!!
For the voters that don't like voting!!!
>>70677840
It means he's the frontrunner in the brokered convention.
>backing a literal nobody loser that has no chance
JUST
>>70678031
I don't understand.
How is this possible?
Does this mean that Donald will lose in a contested nomination?
I dont even know who this guy is. He is going to be campaigning, or is he just going to get the nomination without doing anything?
>>70677810
Sounds like a wish to go back to the 1950's or something, just with a non-interventionist policy, is that pretty much it? At least those were they heyday of whites in the US I guess.
>>70677714
Cruz actually seems crazy, but I agree about Rubio and Ryan.
>>70677235
>losing a debate to this
>the worn-out shithole of Paul Ryan
>>70677065
>tea party
What the fuck are you smoking?
He worked with the Democrats on funding sanctuary cities (despite the fact they are in violation of federal law), refugee resettlement, increasing H-1B visas and quadrupling H-2B visas (unskilled migrant workers that can collect welfare), the DREAM act, tax credits for illegal aliens, and defunding the border wall that was supposed to be built almost a fucking decade ago!
He is the fucking definition of a RINO, and is, probably a fucking liberal that infiltrated the Republican party.
>>70678313
GOP leadership can appoint anybody the presidential candidate if there's a brokered convention.
That person doesn't even have to have been running in the primary.
Ryan was asked by the donors to run in 2012 but he didn't want to be on the top of the ticket because he thought that campaigning was too hard. So the outside donors found him a place as a vp candidate. This wigger and El rato are way more scary than Donald. Actually, Trump is the most sane and rational Republican candidate since the 50s. He will make the American right great again.
>>70678548
As I said, I'm uninformed. I do think I remember him aligning himself with the tea party way back. The fact that he betrayed them to position himself within the establishment is another deal entirely.
As for "liberal" or "conservative", I don't think that axis of politics really mean that much to a lot of establishment politicians in either party. They're basically the enforcers of the policy determined by the elites to maximize profit. Social issues are used to divide and conquer the people so they won't see how these people are fucking them over at every turn.
>>70678372
>Sounds like a wish to go back to the 1950's or something
It really just means traditional conservatism with protection/expansion of domestic industry, plus a much more cautious foreign policy.
The 50's were an anomaly. We were only on top mostly by virtue of being the only developed modern country that wasn't in ruins. It was inevitable that we couldn't remain on top forever, but opening our markets to foreign product only accelerated our decline and turned us into a Walmart farm.
>>70678372
There is nothing wrong with the Tea Party you asshole
>>70679617
>there's nothing wrong with belonging to a fake "grassroots" group funded with Koch brothers' billions
The Establishment is really grasping at anything. Pathetic
>>70678548
He's a libertariansh, epa hating, ayn rand loving, tax cutting kochsucker. All the shit that you mentioned is part of the party platform. He's basically the face of the new establishment.
>>70678647
This truly hurts me. I have been following Trump for a long time. I admit that I didn't follow him from the beginning but when I discovered him, I knew that I wanted him to be my President. I am tired of policies that the Democratic Socialists are placing upon us. Trump also gave me the motivation to be confident in my own skills into the IT Field and also stop accepting handouts. I have read his books, I have made some excessive studies about him, and I have been following him as a role model.
I understand that Trump will always win. I understand that he will anger his fans and supporters, but I am concerned about my sanity. My mind is not able to resist the fact that I have been lied to throughout my whole life. The number of times that I believed the education that my teacher taught in class about Democracy and the American way of life/Dream, were all lies. I can't accept this because it is has been indoctrinated upon myself since I was a kid.
When I was a kid, I fall into people's deceptions with ease. I was not able to tell the difference between a liar and a genuine person but when I see that the education system lied to me this whole time about a Republic, then it makes me think that many people are liars. I have been crushed emotionally by finding out that my best friend was my friend because I provided him with my answers and kindness. He abused my kindness in order for him to receive personal gain.
Sorry for going off on a tangent. It just feels really similar to what is going on in politics. I don't know what to do.
>>70676189
He's a fool. Why doesn't the establishment just wait it out until 2020?
>>70679832
>He's a libertariansh, epa hating, ayn rand loving
>In April 2012, after receiving criticism from Georgetown University faculty members on his budget plan, Ryan rejected Rand's philosophy as an atheistic one, saying it "reduces human interactions down to mere contracts".[42] He also called the reports of his adherence to Rand's views an "urban legend" and stated that he was deeply influenced by his Roman Catholic faith and by Thomas Aquinas.
Please just fucking kill us all if this is real.
>>70676480
because he's an idiot
everyone knows intelligence is directly related to head to body ratio
>>70680550
What is flip flopping? To become more accepted by mainstream cuckservatives he has to act like a politician and lie.
Anyway, this is futile. Kochs funded the astroturf tea party movement, kochs want him as the face of the party they now own.
>>70676189
so, the establishment is butthurt because they cannot control trump, and the solution is to empower paul ryan to run for president? he'll be lucky to get 1/4 of the total votes in a general election.
>>70676189
I just could not see this happen. Choosing someone who is not even running would be a huge slap in the face. The contested convention would be enough of a side show, they do not need an actual revolt on their hands.
>>70681851
Its almost like the GOPe would rather preserve the status quo by throwing the election than elect Trump.
>>70682248
>>70682319
GOP leadership can do whatever the hell they like if there's a brokered convention.
The entire premise of The Plot Against America is GOP leadership bringing in someone who isn't even a politician as the presidential candidate.
It was perfectly legal with GOP rules then as it is now.
