GOP rep: Trump will spark change, but it might not all be good

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie (Ky.) said Donald Trump is the candidate most likely to spark change — but it might not all be positive. 

{mosads}“I think you’re more likely to get change,” Massie said of the GOP presidential nominee during an interview with host Brian Thomas on 55KRC Ohio radio, BuzzFeed News reported Wednesday.

“I don’t know if it’s gonna be a good change, but you gotta break eggs to make an omelette.”

Massie said he suspects some Republicans are secretly rooting for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton to win in hopes of regrouping for 2020.

“I think some of these guys would secretly, in their hearts, rather have Hillary win and they’ll take a crack at it in 2020 than to have Donald Trump win and upset their apple cart and their agenda that they’ve laid out for this country.”

He acknowledged some lingering disunity within the party and said House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is still “having a hard time getting on board” with Trump’s campaign.

“And I don’t think [Ryan’s] a Gary Johnson voter. I’m just gonna tell you,” he said, referring to the Libertarian Party presidential nominee.

Still, Massie said he’s “more excited to vote for Trump” than he was to vote for the 2012 Mitt Romney and Ryan ticket.
