[MelissaB]

It's official. I have filed the paperwork and I am taking on Paul Ryan. How badly do you want him gone?

1. Wisconsin is again being put to the test

[guillaumeb]

2. Imagine the amount of money that will pour into Ryan's District

by the Koch brothers and assorted far right types who already own Ryan. These oligarchs wish to protect their investment.

[pangaia]

4. And Russians....

[guillaumeb]

5. Who is responsible four typos?

[pangaia]

11. beets me.. LOL!!

[eggplant]

33. I've got you covfefe'd.

[guillaumeb]

34. What does this mean?

I have seen it on 3 posts so far.

[Maraya1969]

37. Do a ctrl f search on the Greatest Page. Or just stick it into Google. Just happened today

[guillaumeb]

38. Now I understand.

One hopes that there will soon be a course in Trumpspeak.

[Chasstev365]

3. Best of Luck!

If you can effectively explain to the good citizens of Southern Wisconsin why Paul Ryan is amoral and doesn't represent their interests, you can win!

[BigmanPigman]

6. I'm sure Daily KOS and other groups will be getting a lot of small donations.

It seems to work to a degree. They got a lot for the Dems they've supported in other local campaigns. Everyone should chip in a few dollars if they can. It's a good investment in our country's future.

7. Tough race. That is a REALLY conservative area.

They do seem to love him for some inexplicable reason. Hoping something materializes that links him to Russia.

8. It is a gerrymandered district, designed to elect Paul Ryan or a different Republican.

It used to be more balanced, before the borders were shifted after redistricting. Ryan's district once belonged to Democrat Les Aspen, Bill Clinton's first Secretary of Defense.

[SergeStorms]

29. Unfortunately....

during the past three decades the GOP has gerrymandered districts all over the United States. Why they were allowed to get away with it, I don't know. It's disgraceful. This, coupled with their voter registration fraud, has been the direct reason for the GOP's control of both Houses of Congress. It's going to be extremely difficult for Democrats to cut into their fraudulent election control. We must do it though. To not try, to give up and leave control of everything to them, is a horror our nation can't survive. Fascism has stopped creeping, and is now in full gallop.

30. The FBI's role in the last election was inconsistent with liberal democracy.

It is scary how involved they were in destroying the Democratic candidate and it is scary how the media isn't even acknowledging the role that they played.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

31. Yes and I hate them for it.

I hate that soooo many people don't have the slightest understanding or that even exists, or that it's a dirty conniving repuke strategy.

[Big_K]

13. Cities hate him, rural luvs him

Janesville (Ryan's home town) and Kenosha (my town) have voted against Ryan the last couple of elections. The more hayseed areas vote him in.

[xmas74]

14. My aunt is in Kenosha

She hates him.

[Kittycow]

9. David needs to hammer home the Medicare issues.

Maybe that will work?

[Cary]

10. We only need to move 50,000 or so of us into his district

[ATL Ebony]

19. I'll make a temporary move for the cause.

[Cary]

22. Me too.

But that would compromise my commitment to help end Peter Roskum's tenure.

[sandensea]

12. Unfortunately, Christ Himself could run and it wouldn't matter. Kochsucker Scott controls the voting

Dubya and his goons knew what they were doing when they used the 2000 fracas as a pretext to push electronic, easily-hacked voting nationwide.

Their only disappointment must be that it's not, in fact, nationwide. But in states like Wisconsin and Ohio, forget it; elections there are like Paraguay's - except without the AK-47 wielding thugs at the precinct doors (and they're working on that too).

[xmas74]

15. My home district

Though I haven't lived there in years.

The challengers are coming out to fight. My current district, MO Fourth, had Renee Hoagensen declaring in February against the horrid Vicky Hartzler.

[Stonepounder]

16. Bookmarking fof the ActBlue address

so I can send him a donation on payday!

[MrPurple]

17. Roger Stone said that Scott Walker has rigged 5 elections in WI

https://www.wpr.org/former-trump-advisor-scott-walker-has-rigged-5-elections

That's when he was whining that Trump lost the primary there, but gerrymandering may not be the only headwind they'll be fighting against.

[lsewpershad]

18. Badly

in a bigly way.

[blueinredohio]

20. Good for you and good luck

I would love to see him gone, maybe after the disastrous health care plan people will see the writing on the wall

[Hamlette]

21. What's so odd about Paul Ryan having a chauffeur?

Does anyone remember Rosanne Rosannadanna?

[Butterflylady]

23. I'm bookmarking this thread

so I can donate after I get my SS.

[dembotoz]

24. homegrown would be an easier sell

just saying...i used to live in that district

[japple]

25. From this tweet to God's phone!

eom

[murielm99]

26. My cousins despise him.

But I don't think they are in his district any more. Neither is my mother.

[milestogo]

27. Others have tried and nobody breaks 40% of the vote.

[justiceischeap]

28. He needs a friendlier headshot. nt

[bdamomma]

32. I just gave a donation

hell yes, I want to see Ryan gone.

[cstanleytech]

35. Paul is merely one of the many symptoms of the disease called the Republican Party and

while I would like him to be out of office we need to also get many more like him out of office as well before they do more damage to the country.

[mvd]

36. K&R

I want to contribute!
