Paul Ryan knows he will be rid of Trump in 3 weeks

[Renew Deal]

So Trump can rattle on about all the BS he wants, but Trump will be gone and Ryan will still be around.

[geek tragedy]

1. No, in four weeks Trump TV starts, with Hannity, Breitbart, Ailes etc running the show.

And they'll wage war against Ryan, and to be blunt most Republicans prefer white nationalism to country club Republicanism.

2. That would require billions to get going. This can happen only if Russian money gets involved.

[geek tragedy]

3. it will start with online and radio. There's enough malignant billionaire money

out there to help them make the jump to cable tv (Woody Johnson, the Mercers, etc)

[Orsino]

10. Trump doesn't have the work ethic even of a Limbaugh.

It won't be billionaire-fueled. Because it'll be Trump-branded, it will be a pay service like Palin's, and will meet with the same fate. It's what he should have done instead of his fake-ass university.

[geek tragedy]

12. well, yeah, he won't have to put that much work into it. nt

[Orsino]

15. I think he's addicted to cheering crowds. Nothing he can do online will hold his interest.

If it's just web updates, he does those on Twitter. TrumpTV, if it ever comes to pass, won't contain much Trump.

[geek tragedy]

16. his own video channel, will draw lots of adoring deplorables nt

[Orsino]

17. That will please him, but he can get the same sauce ftom Twitter.

If he can't see and hear a crowd adoring him, I don't think it's going to interest him.

[geek tragedy]

18. the man enjoys his Twitter.

his supporters are emotionally reactive and incredibly gullible, and cult-like. Perfect targets for monetization.

the mindset being, as Eli Wallach said in The Magnificent Seven, "If God didn't want them shorn, he wouldn't have made them sheep."

[Hortensis]

6. The U.S. has half the planet's billionaires.

No need for Russian money. The Pierces, for instance, may already have bought in.

As for Ryan's imagining Trump will not be a problem, not likely. The GOP is tearing apart, and Trump is leading one main faction and Ryan, etc., the other.

4. Our education system needs to update curriculum to include

Mandatory education on the following things:

1. critical thinking
2. ethics
3. diversity


And they need to begin at a very early age.

9. +1

Sorry all the good names were gone.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. And Civics

[randome]

5. Ryan is not some master (or even adequate) strategist.

He is losing the ballgame. By letting Trump rile up the Tea Partiers, Ryan will be paying a price for some time to come. All of the GOP will.

7. After the election Ryan will be in the same vice that Beohner found himself in.

He could easily face a challenge for his speaker-ship.

[OnDoutside]

8. No, in 4 weeks Ryan's problems will only start, as he deals with the fall out of a monumental defeat

[Sunlei]

13. Ryan does an excellent job keeping trumps 'comments away from repubs who run in this election.

Republicans know even if trump managed to win, Ryan 'Speaker' is inline for the VP position & Pence would be President. Wait until the elections over & those 'inner-loop',republicans will tear trump to pieces. win or lose trumps going down.

[Maru Kitteh]

14. HA! No he won't. Once TrumpTV launches (R)s will have mics stuck in their face every day

and they will still have to play the daily game of being forced to try to avoid talking about whatever stupid shit Trump said/did in the last few days/hours.

They're STUCK WITH HIM. FO-EVAH!
