It would have been a lot easier if Trump didn’t endorse Lyin’ Ryan. It would have been a shoo-in if Trump endorsed Nehlen. (sp?)
Not really.
1) Trump endorses Nehlen, Nehlen wins. Hooray!
2) Trump endorses Nehlen, Nehlen loses. Speaker of the House is now a very public political enemy who has a lot of control over President Trump's legislative agenda.
3) Trump endorses Ryan, Ryan wins. Trump has some clout with Ryan and who now owes Trump a favor or two.
4) Trump endorses Ryan, Ryan loses. Trump doesn't have to deal with the weasel and has drawn the ire (such as it may be) of a freshman congressman from Wisconsin.
Endorsing Nehlen is the riskiest of all four possibilities.
Not hardly...
What makes you think Trump endorsing Nehlen would have put Ryan out the door...
Trump didn't win Wisconsin...it really wasn't even close, but he did really good considering the state...
Ryan easily won his district, he was a shoo-in...
So people in Ryan district who have elected and re-elected Ryan for years, who when they had a chance to to vote for Trump didn't are now going to put Nehlen in as easy as pie...?
Remember all politics are local...
I think folks might make up their own minds. I pray that Wisconsin gives Paul Ryan the boot.
