Trump and Ryan had extensive meetings before Ryan's official endorsement for them to get on the same page. It was assumed that Ryan only endorsed Trump because of these meetings and because they were unified as a result of the meetings. One would assume that these meetings involved Trump and Ryan discussing how a president and speaker/congress could work together to make positive changes. Now Trump is saying that despite a string of behind closed doors unifying meetings that got him Ryan's endorsement he isn't ready to endorse Ryan.

It boils down to Trump wanting to stick it to Ryan, even though the timeline doesn't support that. They are supposed to be unified at this point, Trumps acting like a hurt child.


Didn't matter if ryan endorsed trump or not because he was our nominee...big difference

Yes, because of course Muslims are so sensitive themselves towards people of other religious beliefs...


Death to those who insult child rapist Muhammad!

And both Ryan and McCain are likely going to win in landslides, so your logic is shit here.

How do you judge it?

I was looking at primary turnout and popular vote.


Florida? Right now Clinton is considerably ahead. Trump is going to try to catch up and he'll have that opportunity; they've settled on a plan narrowly focused on FL/OH/PA. That intense focus on the state combined with Clinton continuing to expand the map elsewhere is going to help Trump narrow the gap and get back into this.

Looking at primary turnout is a mistake, there's been no causation between it and general election outcomes dating back 1972 (when we started doing things this way). In several of the cases the party with the most encouraging primary stats ended up losing substantially (1980 being the best example). The things that are important and that you should look at: staff on the ground, infrastructure, advertising, the involvement of outside groups (both voter registration and advertising), demographics, population growth, polling. Almost all of them are suggesting that Clinton is putting herself in a position to win so long as she holds onto her advantage and executes GOTV.

Drinking themselves to death I'm guessing.

Mangix is smart enough to know it was a losing fight. Patton really believes in Trump but we will see if that has faltered after the bad few days Trump has been having, especially disrespecting dead soldiers and their families and all that.. Holy cow it just feels crazy typing it.

Living in Ohio kind of sucks this time of year. Luckily I haven't had cable for a couple years and they can't bombard my NetFlix yet. However I'll get so much garbage mailed to my house that it has made me quit giving candidates money, because I'm afraid they will spend it on mailers...I get dozens of the same ones.

I especially love when DVDs and video tapes get dropped off at my door.
