The crossover DEM voters will most likely vote for Ryans opponent.

Great news.

If Ryan wins the primary, he can still be defeated in the general. The Democrats have a couple of interesting candidates in Tom Breau and Ryan Solen. Both are veterans.

Also, in the Wisconsin Senate race, Russ Feingold has an excellent chance of beating GOPe’er Ron Johnson.

Johnson has a pathetic record. McConnell co-opted him. It’ll be his own fault if he loses.

Johnson (WI) - 2016 - 74% (Average) - 60% (CReview) - 46% (Heritage) - 73% (Freedomworks) - 95% (CFG) - 96% (ACU)

Is there any polls in his district about replacing him?

I wonder if the downside could be that the GOPe will rush to draft Ryan into the spot they are going to try to steal from Trump...

Uihlein was one of the first names I thought of, but I think he’s an Illinois resident these days, and he’s also pretty old to be starting in Congress.

Actually, any of the district’s non-resident potential candidates could be delaying their announcement until they have established residence.

“If this is true and Ryan gets Cantored it will shake the GOPe to its very core.”

And don’t forget about taking out McCain. We need to knock these two out even if it means turning the seats to the Dems.

Yes, PLEASE!
We have to get Ryan out of there!

Paul Ryan was mentored and picked for DC politics by one CESAR CONDA. Conda also handpicked and became the chief of staff for MARCO RUBIO and is joined at the hip with Grover Norquist.

Paul Ryan and Rubio are both trojan horses, HAND PICKED to push amnesty, cheap labor and BAD TRADE like TPP.
