Paul Ryan’s primary opponent: I’ll support Trump

When House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday he wasn’t ready to support Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, his Wisconsin primary opponent saw an opening.

Following the Trump campaign’s lash-out on Friday, Paul Nehlen seized that opening, suggesting he will do what Ryan won't: support Trump.

Time for Trump to take another shot at winning Wisconsin, this time for Nehlen. I wonder if the Wisconsin voter has wised up any after seeing Trump knock off the primary challengers. Same goes for the conservative radio crowd in Wisconsin.

Yuge mistake by Paul Ryan. YUGE!!!

I remember when Ryan was thought to be a smart guy, a policy wonk, and a rising star? I can't wait until he gets Cantored.

Paul Ryan is one of those so called “limited govt conservatives” that has had a govt job for the majority of their adult lives. To hell with them.

[Karl Spooner]

Never seen any polls yet, but Trump did win Ryan’s district in WI. Ryan will be toast.

After the budvet crap with Ryan I have already sent 2 contributions to Nehlen.

Darn phone meant budget

Thank You for the donation link. I pitched in what I could for this noble cause!

This article is different from what I heard this morning.

Nehlen was on Fox Business this morning. He was asked numerous times if he would support Trump. He dodged and digressed into the need to defeat Ryan. Finally after continued prodding, he said he expected to support the nominee of the party. On that program, at least, he never answered the question directly.

We should at the least donate to Paul Nehlen’s campaign. I don’t live in Wisconsin and am trying to think what else I can do to support Nehlen.

Contribution enroute to Ryan’s opponent.

Nothing but wannabes coming out of the woodwork begging to be the VP pick. Disgusting. Trump will pick someone that surprises everyone.

What’s the polling for this race?

I think it's in August, so may be too early for polling

He was exactly the same on the Howie Carr show today !!!

He vacillated when he should have POUNCED !!!

I did the same earlier this morning in an earlier thread. Love to see Ryan primaries.

Trump should form a Super Pac to support this candidate and put $5mil in the account.

Ryan would STFU and right now.

[apoliticalone]

Yes. A Nehlen win would send a very strong message to all in Congress.

[apocalypto]

I agree 100%.

[BagCamAddict]

There is a link on Nehlen’s website where people can volunteer to make phone calls. Perhaps they have a method for people from out of state to make the calls, if you wanted to do something like that.

Thanks!
