We’ve heard many people, people who should be millionaires because their prognostications and expertise would turn them a nice coin if they put their money where their mouths are, say that the Trump Effect describes the consequence of The Donald, that he’d put a drag on down ballot candidates. What if the reverse is true?
It’s the very thing the GOP Establishment fears most – loss of control.
This week, an example of that diminished control reverberated throughout D.C. as challenger Scott Taylor, who is a former Navy SEAL and current Virginia State Representative, defeated longtime Republican Congressman Randy Forbes.
Taylor supported Donald Trump and Trump’s America-first economic platform. Randy Forbes did not.
Virginia voters just fired Randy Forbes.

If from my vantage point, and I think it’s a good one, if Trump is not elected, or if Trump is elected, and his mandate is stalled, we’re going to have a civil war. And it maybe 25% of the country fighting the Government. But it’s the 25% that can get the job done. Everyone here knows the second is not about hunting. It’s about a Tyrantical Government. Are we there yet? Consider asshole Ryan’s latest statements. I’d like to meet Mr. Kettle bell in a gym some time. He’d be my bitch. I’m tired of this shit. We should all be tired of this shit. Might makes right.
I can’t wait till August 9 to vote against Paul Ryan in the primary. I don’t know where his head is — he is like an Immigration Zombie. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Bad_Brad, we might not have Paul Ryan to kick around anymore if Nehlen benefits from the Reverse Trump Effect. Maybe that’s why Ryan seems like a man in a hurry to give Barky everything on his wish list. The true conservatives in Congress need to gridlock these two mofo lovebirds until next year.
The people are supposed to be in charge of the government.
I’d like to see that happen.
These f-n bastards will lose, and if they somehow dont, they better resign.
Trump effect is real. As real as the earth beneath our feet.
ops, the *reverse Trump effect is real*
that ought to make paul ryan quake in his boots. Dusting off his resume even as you read this.
Third Twin, Ryan is drunk with power. We need to send that asshole back to private practice. Obviously another damn attorney that’s never created shit.
We The People, Exactly but no more, there’s to much gold involved. We need to replace it with led.
I’m dying to meet the two libtards that would thumb down my first comment. Either Trolls or Cruz rebels. Same thing in the long run. Fucking losers. Bring on the snakes.
JohnS, before you criticize Trump on this thread, please watch this video. This young Black woman has more discernment in her little finger than half of American citizens in their whole being. Thank you.
VIRAL VIDEO: This Black Woman Has a Message for Christians NOT Voting for Trump

Scott Taylor beating Randy Forbes is a hell of a good sign. So many talking heads are saying that Mr.Trump can’t carry the down ticket and then we see this. It’s good news. Paul Ryan is a piece of crap!
That POS Ryan could be primaried out in the August 9 Wisconsin primary, if the ‘Trump Effect’ keeps stomping cucks.
Trump should have Paul Nehlen (who is also running for Wisconsin’s District 1 seat in the House, which Ryan currently holds) give a speech or something in Wisconsin’s District 1.
AC, And Ryan said he’d step down if Trump asked him to. Trump should ask him too.
He should ask him to step down and then give a speech in his district to endorse Paul Nehlen! That would start a nuclear exchange between the elephants.
Dr. Kelli Ward who is bucking McCain was interviewed by Infowars AT the Trump rally today. http://www.infowars.com/dr-kelli-ward-sen-john-mccain-directly-responsible-for-rise-of-isis/
BB, I don’t like Ryan as much as you don’t-going Kommander Keyboard on him won’t do anything-have you gone to Nehlen’s site and kicked in a few bucks?
Because you can be damn sure that Ryan is pulling in all his favors to win that primary.
Giving Nehlen the resources to get the word out in his district is the best thing we can do short of going up there and knocking on doors for him.
Forbes was my congressman (District 4). He ran in Distrit 2 this time due to redistricting. Ran for Scott Rigell’s seat. Rigell hurt him more than anything (IMO). Rigell was very anti-Trump (said he would NOT vote for him) and campaigning for Forbes. Rigell was all over the airwaves denouncing Trump and trying to support his (Forbes) replacement. That alone I think negated Forbes outspending Taylor 3:1. Very low turnout (I heard only 10%).
Nothing is as hard to stop as an idea whose time has come.
Paul Ryan is being blackmailed.
Newsmax 6/19/16 “Ryan hints at suing Trump over Muslim ban.”
“I would sue any president that exceeds his or HER powers,” Ryan told the Huffington Post.
Question: Why isn’t he suing Obama right now?
Ask Eric Cantor what happens when you go soft on immigration and bow before Barack the Traitor. Dave Brat didn’t beat Cantor. He trounced him.
Remember Cantor’s book “Young Guns” w/ the photo of himself, Ryan and Kevin McCarthy on the cover?
1 down. 2 to go.
@DaveVA – Forbes outspent Taylor 10:1 not 3:1. Forbes voting for Obamatrade vs Taylor’s full throated support of Trump made the difference.
Media refuses to report how fed up people are with corruption and self serving politicians but just look at the turn out at a Trump rally everywhere he goes. That’s a powerful statement.
