A week after Paul Nehlen – Speaker Paul Ryan’s challenger in Wisconsin’s First Congressional District Republican primary – earned praise from Donald Trump, he was kicked out of his rally.

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos offered a blunt message ahead of the presidential nominee’s arrival: “We are Ryan Republicans here in Wisconsin, not Trump Republicans”.
Aug 6, 2016- United States presidential candidate Donald Trump has publicly backed House Speaker Paul Ryan days after snubbing him in a spat at the top of the Republican Party. Trump also endorsed Sens.
Trump’s refusal to back Ryan in a Washington Post interview on Tuesday had stunned Republicans already unnerved by his unorthodox candidacy for president. Trump said in the same interview that McCain had not done enough for veterans and criticised Ayotte for distancing herself from him during the campaign. He has skipped from one misstep to the next, sparking a fresh wave of Republican defections among longtime party loyalists who refuse to support their presidential nominee -some even publicly support Clinton.
Trump “may well pose a threat to our national security”, he wrote in a New York Times column. “We have to make them”, Trump said, referring to his sudden change of heart. “He responded just as Mr. Putin had calculated”.
While they haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, Trump says they share the same mission, to make America great again.
Donald Trump is a proud man.
House Speaker Paul Ryan says his opponent in Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary is backed by out-of-state interests peddling a “nasty virulent strain of something” that’s not conservatism.
Clinton’s political vulnerabilities were also on display Friday. “And I lump Paul Ryan and Hillary Clinton under the same basket because they are soulless globalists who only care about putting money in their campaign coffers or in their pockets and their insatiable lust for power”, Nehlen said. “I love babies”, he said.
The moment came as she opens substantial leads over Trump in opinion polls.
A national McClatchy-Marist survey released on Thursday showed Clinton with a 15-point advantage, 48 percent to 33 percent.
Donald Trump is making a rare admission he was wrong – in claiming he saw a video of a US cash payment going to Iran.
Trump raised eyebrows this week when he made that assertion and gave details of what he said he saw in the video. “I don’t think people here in Wisconsin, Republicans, are going to fall for it here as well”.
The White House has insisted the payment had nothing to do with the release of the hostages.
“She is unhinged. She’s truly unhinged”.

Shortly after the rally, Trump’s campaign sent out an email blast to supporters saying “it’s time to unite our party and deny a third term of Obama”. But Vos, too, was skipping the Trump rally on Friday. “Vote for Pence because it’s the same thing”, Trump said.
