Sarah Palin Endorses Paul Ryan Challenger Paul Nehlen: Ryan’s ‘Political Career Is Over’
breitbart.com ^ | 5/8/16 | Rebecca Mansour

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Speaker Paul Ryan’s primary challenger, businessman Paul Nehlen, who is running for Ryan’s seat in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District.

“Rep. Paul Ryan abandoned the district he was to represent as special interests dictated his legislative priorities,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page this morning. “Without ever having a real job outside of politics, it seems he disconnected himself from the people, thus easily disrespected the will of the people.”

“It’s time for a change. I’m supporting the independent conservative businessman, Paul Nehlen, to return the House Speakership to ‘We The People’. Here’s the worthy challenger, Paul Nehlen,” she concluded, adding the link to Nehlen’s website.

In an interview with CNN’s Jack Tapper this morning, Palin addressed the issue of Ryan’s refusal to support the GOP’s presumptive nominee Donald Trump, who Palin endorsed before the Iowa caucuses.

“I think Paul Ryan is soon to be ‘Cantored,’ as in Eric Cantor,” she said in reference to the former Republican House Majority Leader who lost his Congressional seat in 2014 due to a stunning and unprecedented GOP grassroots uprising in support of his challenger Dave Brat, who ran on the same populist issues of immigration and trade that have propelled candidates like Donald Trump and now Paul Nehlen.

While Palin's made some bad endorsements, McCain, Fiorina, Ayotte, etc., her endorsement raises Nehlen's profile significantly!

Game on!!

Nehlen is a really impressive man.

I wonder how many members of congress have patents to their name?

Not many, I bet.

Best news I heard in quite a while.

Paul Ryan thought he was going to run for president against Trump in the next cycle. It would truly be poetic justice to see him out the door.

Let’s hope this really takes off.

If she can really deliver on this it will be a big deal.

Only problem is that if Ryan survives, he will be more dangerous than ever. Cantor never saw it coming. Ryan has been warned.

Consider this scenario. Trump loses by such a margin that the House flips. Ryan is no longer Speaker of the House. Maybe he can see that coming down the pipe.

Thanks for your concern. Your scenario has been considered and rejected.

This is a good move.

Even if Ryan beats the guy by 20 points Ryan is going to be trashed for the next 3 months peaking in Cleveland.

It is still 3.5 months to try to get rid of Kelly Ayotte & 3 months for McCain.

Impossible with the way the districts are drawn despite a few states being changed by activist judges.
