A wealthy businessman with tea party ties confirmed Sunday that he is mounting a primary challenge to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, saying that after donating to the Wisconsin Republican’s past campaigns he feels “betrayed” by the speaker on trade deals and immigration.
The businessman, who is not yet revealing his identity, promised that his run will “shake up the establishment in a profound way,” according to a political consultant close to the prospective candidate.
The emergence of a viable Republican challenger in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District is the culmination of a monthslong recruitment effort by tea party activists who say they were double-crossed by Mr. Ryan when he passed a $2 trillion spending package late last year.
Eric Odom, a conservative activist and political consultant in Wisconsin, confirmed with “100 percent certainty” that a local business leader would be running to oust Mr. Ryan.

Excellent
Eric cantor redux
If this is true and Ryan gets Cantored it will shake the GOPe to its very core.
Go whatever-your-name-is!
“Hallelujah!!! Finally!!! Once I find out his name I will be posting every story possible on him to boost his campaign to oust the oligarch!”
I’ll help you!
The article said the potential candidate is from the Tea Party but in reality, IS HE? Ryan defrauded those of us who voted for him so dumping his behind is the order of the day. There are consequences.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss but different name.
Yay!
Great news....looking forward to details!
*like*
Great!
Cantorize the weasel Paul Ryan!
Haley Barbour’s team is in route to assist Ryan. Count on it. The crossover DEM vote, for Ryan, will be historic.
Let us know as I will contribute to him.
Ryan’s district is fairly compact. Consisting of Racine, Kenosha, Walworth and Rock counties. One problem is the district is overshadowed by the Milwaukee/Chicago media markets which makes it expensive. The best way is for this guy to have a very solid ground game.
My sister tells me the unwashed love the idea that their critter is SOTH.
Maybe we could have Trump Junior run against Ryan and have Eric Trump run against Boehner.
If you decide to set up a ping list, count me in.
Looking forward to the posts either way.
next to the presidency this should be our #1 goal
