He says: “I don’t know anything about it”. Roy Blunt, R, in the first three months of 2016 (pulling in $1.3 million to Blunt’s $1.25 million). “But there are people who want, actively want, someone to listen to them”.

A rating system devised by political scientists Keith Poole and Howard Rosenthal determined that Ryan “would be the most conservative House speaker in generations”.
Donald Trump and Paul Ryan met Thursday.
With that, Foley, who died in 2013, earned the dubious distinction of being the first incumbent House speaker since 1862 to lose a re-election bid.
Trump, 69, and Ryan, 46, would make one of the oddest of political couples, one a brash and unpredictable billionaire with a malleable political philosophy and tendency to insult all comers, the other a wonky if telegenic Midwestern conservative dedicated to paring back entitlements and with a big-tent view of the GOP. For years, Republican politicians, focused exclusively on winning the next election, have issued coded appeals to nativists and racists in the base, while abandoning the party’s most desperate voters. In this role, he is slated to be the chairman of the party’s national convention in July. “If you don’t participate in the presidential election you might as well kiss away the Senate as well”, Priebus said in a message directed at Republican donors unenthusiastic about Trump. “I think we have a very strong case against Hillary”. “Unless Paul does something drastic or changes dramatically”.
“It’s hard to preside over the convention of your nominee and not support him, ‘ says Oklahoma Republican Tom Cole, a friend and House colleague of Ryan’s, who like many in the party expects an endorsement to come”.
He has not become an absentee guy. Using the GOP’s data, the data analytics institute would work to develop a specific set of tests for 2013 and 2014-tests on voter registration, persuasion, GOTV, and voter mobilization-that will then be adopted into future programs to ensure that our voter contact and targeting dollars are spent on proven performance.
He’s also one of the state’s most popular Republicans, with a almost 72 percent favorability rating among Republicans and 48 percent among all Wisconsin voters. A poll this week by the Remington Research Group found him leading Nehlen 78 percent to 14 percent, with 8 percent undecided.
And on trade, another key sticking point, Trump told The Associated Press earlier this week that his position isn’t all that different from that of the GOP establishment: “I don’t think we’re really far off”. In a 2014 speech and policy document, Ryan proposed giving students more options through accreditation reform that would increase competition and reduce costs.
Shifting swiftly to the general election, Donald Trump says he’s narrowed his list of potential running mates to “five or six” people and doesn’t want to accept taxpayer money to finance a fall campaign against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Barnett said he is “less and less concerned” about party unity after a reported detente between Trump and U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, who met on Thursday.
Before Palin’s rhetorical blast, the Tea Party Patriots and conservative pundit Michelle Malkin endorsed Nehlen, who embraces the Cantor race comparisons. Just when your successful company has gone public, organized crime decides to invest heavily in it, and before you know it, they own controlling shares.
“We will have policy disputes”, he said.
Even as speaker, Ryan remains the representative of the 1st District of Wisconsin, a mix of rural communities and small cities wedged into the southeastern corner of the state between Milwaukee to the north and metro Chicago to the south. Ryan’s approval numbers have been stratospheric there, and he has little reason to fear his intraparty opponent on the ballot in August – even if Sarah Palin makes good on her threat to campaign for the challenger.
The speaker supports a comprehensive overhaul of USA immigration laws, an issue that puts him at odds with Trump, who advocates constructing a wall along the Mexican border.
