Paul Ryan Says He Can’t Support Donald Trump—Yet

Republican Speaker of the House Paul Ryan said Thursday he is not yet ready to back his party’s presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, saying the candidate needs to reassure conservatives before earning his support.

In a striking interview on CNN, Ryan said he’s “not there yet” on supporting Trump, who effectively clinched the GOP nomination this week with a win in the Indiana primary that forced his remaining rivals from the race. Ryan, the highest-ranking elected Republican, said he has serious doubts about Trump’s commitment to conservative principles and GOP standards, saying the burden is on Trump to unify the party he hopes to lead.

Well, As Jesus said, "If you're not for me, you're against me."

Paul RINO needs to leave GOP. GOP does not want renagers, the disloyal, the weak, the vassilating, the indecisive." I say to Mr Paul RINO "If you want someone to see which way the crowd's marching and run to the head of the line, then Hillary's your man."

The article continues:

Ryan’s comments are all the more notable given that he is set to be the permanent chairman of the GOP convention in Cleveland in July.

There's a few voices at Landover that could change that.

There's the small matter of
Paul Ryan’s No. 1 Hater Calls Him a ‘Gay Trojan Horse’

The congressman is the Trojan Horse of the homosexual lobby, according to one man—who will stop at nothing to prevent Ryan from becoming speaker of the House.

Some conservatives think that Paul Ryan, the blue-eyed pride of Wisconsin, is making too many demands as he considers a run for speaker of the House.

Others think he is a Trojan Horse for the homosexual lobby.

Not necessarily others, but other. Specifically Eugene Delgaudio, a county supervisor in Virginia and head of the gay-bashing organization Public Advocate of the United States.
[...]
Is Paul Ryan a homosexual?” I asked.

“No, we didn’t say that,” Delgaudio responded.

Ryan’s office did not respond to a request for comment for this article.

Just ask yourself... Does Landover have the photos?

I think Mr Trump can rest easy...

Amen!!

Donald Trump () knows a lot about Hispanics. He knows all of them celebrate Cinco de Mayo. He knows all of them eat tacos (and generally the Tex-Mex cuisine). He knows that no Mexican can cook Mexican food so well as his own cooks can. He is so great and he knows so much, I love him almost as much as Pastor Zeke!

Just to completely eliminate the idea that Donald Trump would be a racist, all he has to do now is to celebrate the next Black History Month with fried chicken and watermelon, from the Trump Tower Grill of course!

Re: The Donald Trump Appreciation Thread

Imagine if Trump was President instead of Kennedy in 1985. Then Germany would still have a wall and be a much happier country.

So instead of Kennedy's "Tear down this wall!" speech it would be Trump's "We're gonna make the wall 10 feet higher" speech.

Re: The Donald Trump Appreciation Thread

Mr. Trump's ultimate victory over the 17 other Republicans in the primaries is yet more proof of the power of prayer here at Landover Baptist Church.

Think about it: EVERY professional political commentator and pundit predicted that Mr. Trump had ZERO chance of securing the Republican nomination. He did it without a Super PAC, without a sophisticated ground organization, without a professional campaign manager, without taking funding from donors, and while rhetorically ravaging every one of his opponents!! How else could he have POSSIBLY achieved this milestone-- completely reforming the Republican party in the process-- without any (observable) outside assistance.

Well, the fact is, Mr. Trump had a great deal of assistance. Landover Baptist Church members have been engaged in CONSTANT prayer, around the clock, ever since Mr. Trump entered the Presidential race. Our church members have been praying, and manning phone banks, even in the middle of the night. Our church members and a small church-paid staff have been calling registered Republicans in each primary state, and suggesting that they vote for Mr. Trump. We've found the phone calls are especially memorable if they come between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., and include mentions of loved ones, for example:

Monday, March 14, 2016 2:31 a.m. call to Mr. and Mrs. Drew Stevens of Lakeland, Florida

"You know, Mr. Stevens, you and your wife should vote for Mr. Trump on Tuesday. Don't hang up. Don't you dare hang up, because this message is important. You know, all of us here are praying you vote the right way, Mr. Stevens. Our organization has ways of knowing if you've done the right thing, Mr. Stevens, and we'll be watching closely. You know your daughter Julie, and her husband Joe, who live at 2412 Arthur St. in Gaithersburg, Maryland would be very... hurt... if you didn't vote for Mr. Trump. They'd be.... hurt.... and they might even begin to think that their future is ruined... and their lives are over... and it's not worth living at all..... if you didn't vote for Mr. Trump on Tuesday. I hope you and your wife Cheryl will think about that. I hope you'll think about that carefully, Mr. Stevens, as you drive to the polling place in your gray 2013 Buick Lacrosse. I hope you'll think about this carefully, because it's important. You might even say this message is of life and death importance. Because it would be a shame if you, your wife Cheryl, your daughter Julie, and her husband Joe began to think it's just not worth living anymore, and something happened as a result. You think about that, Mr. Stevens, and you get back to sleep now. Everything will be alright if you and your family vote for Mr. Trump."

Prayer is indeed a powerful tool, and we know many different "creative" ways to use power tools at Landover Baptist Church.

Re: The Donald Trump Appreciation Thread

The Southern Baptist Convention needs to dump its ethics leader and do it now.

Russell Moore says Baptists should not support Donald Trump. My question is this: How are we white Baptists going to get tax breaks and receive federal grants if we oppose the person handing them out? This Moore guy does not understand at all the business side of being a genuine Christian.
Southern Baptist leader: opposing Trump puts you “on the right side of Jesus”

Updated by Libby Nelson on May 6, 2016, 10:20 a.m. ET @libbyanelson

A top Southern Baptist leader has a warning for white evangelical Christians: If you want to "be on the right side of Jesus," you need to stand up to Donald Trump.
Russell Moore heads the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, the public policy arm of the largest, typically quite conservative American Protestant denomination. In a scathing op-ed in the New York Times, Moore argues that for white evangelicals, the 2016 election is a moment of truth:

A white American Christian who disregards nativist language is in for a shock. The man on the throne in heaven is a dark-skinned, Aramaic-speaking "foreigner" who is probably not all that impressed by chants of "Make America great again."

Moore likens Trump's candidacy to the civil rights movement — a test that many white Baptist churches in the South failed when they defended white supremacy rather than standing by black churches. He argues that it's also in evangelicals' interest to stand up to Trump, because the future of evangelical Christianity lies with the people Trump picks on, including immigrants:

Majorities come and majorities go. And sometimes a silent majority is too silent for its own good… The question is whether evangelicals will be on the right side of Jesus. That will mean standing up for the church’s future leaders, and for our mission, especially when they are politically powerless.

Moore has a lot of minds to change. White evangelical Christians typically support Republican candidates by huge margins: In 2012, Romney captured 79 percent of their vote.
Trump, so far, isn't leading with anything

So Trump says that the London Mayor should be given an exception to the Muslim ban. Surely this has to be some trick to get this terrorist dictator arrested and sent to Gitmo!

I've seen a lot of Mayors in my day. It's obvious he was sent to London from one of those Muslim countries. From my experience I can tell you this guy is a suicide bomber.

Look for a bye bye Muslim Mayor and the London City Hall to be blown to bits soon.

Hello Sarc,

You should work on your Photoshop skills. That aside, as I am someone who greatly appreciates nice food: Why would you poison yourself with what (judging from your picture) must be the worst slice of pizza ever created by mankind? Wouldn´t you rather take some barbiturates and end it quickly and painlessly?

Kind regards,

Trump is truly a great leader. His admiration for Jim Jong Un and Putin really reinforces it.

And his press secretary is just fantastic! Did he get her on The Apprentice? I must have missed that season.
