The sparring between Donald Trump and Paul Ryan is well-documented. Today’s populism began in 2006; it has taken many different forms since then; it hit its peak this year and is showing signs of exhaustion. A nearby billboard has portrayed Ryan as soft on terrorism.

“Neither of these races are about the two of us”, Nehlen said.
Paul Ryan has betrayed the people of this country in every possible way, and at every possibility opportunity available to him. Even if Nehlen merely puts a serious dent into Ryan, it will still be a warning, and everyone will have some adjusting to do.
This is the bracing new reality for the speaker. But McAdams said he doubts it would prompt a course correction from Ryan.
Paul Ryan on Friday ripped the “alt-right” platform, on which he accused his primary opponent of running, after his challenger questioned why the United States has “Muslims in the country”.
“Given his stature as our party’s official nominee, Mr. Trump’s decision to support the Republican Speaker is appropriate and is a display of true leadership”, Mr. Nehlen said in a statement. Before backing Ryan, Trump complimented Nehlen turning the race to the national spotlight. “I love babies”, he said. A few things we won’t tolerate: personal attacks, obscenity, vulgarity, profanity (including expletives and letters followed by dashes), commercial promotion, impersonations, incoherence, proselytizing and SHOUTING. Trump relented just three days later, but the burst of publicity was priceless for Nehlen.
Trump also threw his support behind Arizona Sen.
Paul Ryan betrayed us on spending. His defeat would signal the opposite, even if Trump were to lose.
Beyond policy, Nehlen contrasts his private sector experience with Ryan’s long career in government.
Trump economic adviser Stephen Moore told Reuters that the candidate’s plan would focus on four areas: tax, deregulation, energy policy and trade.
Ryan rejected the suggestion that House Republicans may use “A Better Way” to build a national campaign that’s detached from Trump, should the billionaire’s poll numbers continue to slide. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Sen.
Ryan was hoping to avoid the same kind of shocking loss that ended then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s political career in 2014, when he lost to a tea party challenger in the primary.
Nehlen doesn’t appear to be the embodiment of “hard-right voices”, as the center-left outfit Think Progress claims.
Lake Effect’s Mitch Teich talks with Wisconsin’s first congressional district candidate Ryan Solen.
The races are not the same, though.
Ryan faces businessman Paul Nehlen in Tuesday’s primary. Nehlen also seems a little goofy, if a campaign ad is anything to go by. But it only came after he’d given major air time and attention to the little-known Nehlen.
Nehlen’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the interview, which was flagged on Twitter by Watchdog Wisconsin education reporter James Wigderson.
Among them, No. 2: “Refused to endorse Speaker Paul Ryan, earning the wrath of the Republican establishment”. Janesville is home to a General Motors plant that shuttered in 2009 and once employed 7,000 workers. He later said he only wants to deport U.S. Muslims who believe in Sharia law.
“What’s Paul Ryan done?” “We don’t win. Your job still gets outsourced”.
Ryan hasn’t hidden his frustration. I know a lot of people say just get rid of trade agreements, don’t do trade agreements, and that’s bad.
“I suspect the cost for Ryan is in the future”, Sarah Binder, a congressional expert at the Brookings Institution in Washington, said. “Will they experience the viciousness and incivility that we all here face on a daily basis?”
Ryan, like other top Wisconsin Republicans, did not attend Trump’s evening appearance in their state.
“They’re not pushing conservatism”.
“I think everything about this hurts Ryan”, adds NY state-based pollster John Zogby. “The same can not be said of his opponent”.
“It’s a nasty, virulent strain of something”, Ryan said, repeating the host’s words back to him. “As you know, I was a big supporter of (Wisconsin U.S. Rep. James) Sensenbrenner’s illegal immigration legislation, including the fence”.
The curious aspect of this poll isn’t Ryan’s massive lead.

The survey, released Friday, shows a whopping 80 percent of those polled would support Ryan, while just 14 percent said they would vote for his primary challenger. Ryan did not take press questions.
