Wisconsin GOP Circles Wagons for Ryan

(In sprint to the finish, GOP challenger Paul Nehlen says local party officials are censoring his campaign)

With an uphill primary race against House Speaker Paul Ryan in its final stretch, challenger Paul Nehlen is calling out the local GOP Establishment for trying to build a firewall to protect the incumbent.

Party officials are nominally neutral in primaries, but Nehlen said the Wisconsin GOP has been anything but. The Nehlen campaign reports getting rebuffed in efforts to put signs and campaign materials in county GOP offices and having a presence at party events. He said pro-Nehlen comments have been removed from Republican Party Facebook pages.

“It’s ridiculous, because people are going to these party tents, to these Republican victory offices, and my materials aren’t there,” Nehlen told LifeZette. The onetime Ryan supporter said the speaker has betrayed his southeastern Wisconsin district on issues like immigration and trade. “The system is rigged against grassroots interests trying to get in.”

I suspect that the WI GOP is just as corrupted by the Cheap Labor Express as the VA GOP.

We still removed the weasel Eric Cantor from office, despite the corrupt VA GOP.

This is nothing new, the GOPe has stonewalled non-GOPe primary candidates for a very long time. Trust me, I know, I've had personal experiences with this same sort of stuff when I helped a friend run.

Since Ryan’s district voted overwhelmingly for Cruz, just how likely do you think that is?

We have arrived at a new era of American politics. All current politicans need to be very afraid. They cannot compete with the ability to sell your message over social media platforms. Facebook and Twitter are liberal biased and censor conservative thought. However the message can still ve delivered through this media. The amount of free advertising Trump has taken from networks without them even realizing is staggering, Historically this election season is beyond words. It’s impact on marketing will be felt for decades.

PBS documentary exposed Paul Ryan as chief House GOP amnesty plotter
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3455401/posts

“It provided detail after detail of Ryan’s back-room efforts to get a version of the Senate Gang of 8 amnesty through the House over the last two years.

Perhaps you need to know nothing more than that Rep. Luis Guitierrez (D-IL) made it clear in the documentary that he regards Ryan as far more a friend of illegal immigrants than is Nancy Pelosi.”

The VA gop is tough to match. Yet the establishment still lost their golden boys Cantor and Forbes.

Them voters can be a feisty and unpredictable bunch.

As Trump says often, the system is rigged and corrupt.

Yes Virginia did. An inspiration to all conservatives!

May WI follow that same lead!
