Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan R-Wis., Friday, two highly placed Republican sources tell Fox News -- just days after the Republican presidential nominee declined to back Ryan when asked in an interview.

Ryan will face primary challenger Paul Nehlen in next Tuesday’s primary election for his congressional seat. Trump is expected to endorse the 2012 Republican vice presidential nominee at an event in Green Bay.

While Ryan picked up the endorsement of Trump’s running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump declined to endorse Ryan when asked in an interview Tuesday with The Washington Post.

“I like Paul. I like Paul. But these are horrible times for our country. We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there. I’m not quite there yet,” Trump said.

Trump know what I know from my inside polls: Ryan will win easily. The close race is Ward vs. McCain. Trump must NOT endorse Songbird, as his spineless VP did.

It’s just not the time for all out change. Hillary has good numbers and will continue to. Plus the fraud.


Why do you trust the polls?

In Green Bay? That’s not even Ryan’s district.

Anyway, if it’s gonna happen I’m happy it’s up there. I and my wife are going to Nehlen’s ‘get out the vote’ rally’s tomorrow in Kenosha and Janesville.

GO NEHLEN!!

He should say he doesn’t think it’s appropriate to endorse one republican over the other.

You can bet that Trump is endorsing Ryan because he believes in him and his conservative record.

Well, by my figgerin’, it is now past 8:30 EDT.

Don’t recall seeing anybody talking or posting about how Trump endorsed ANYBODY and that rally in Green Bay must almost be down to Work the Rope Line time.

Could it be that Fox just made up another “I-want” story????

Or am I just imagining things again?

...such as “paying ransom” isn’t really what the words indicate, or “Obama” and “economic recovery” are oxymorons, or every time I see something in the media I’ve almost automatically got to dismiss it as lying damn drivel. Again.

Come on Fox, just ONCE try and actually report a fact!

(Spit on the ground and walk away)

Well when it comes down to that, I agree, that is the best thing to say. Tradition goes with endorsing the person holding the office, but I am not a stickler for that type of tradition.

I really, really wish Mr Trump would find better advisors. The Ryan people are awful.
