Hey Donald, put the final nail in Ryan’s political coffin and endorse Nehlen - a guy you can deal with!

Ryan is an obstacle to you agenda, he is for open borders, TPP, amnesty, bringing more muzzies here. This is the perfect chance to get rid of him. And if he survives he will know your not going to pussyfoot around with him.

-- Usually, Presidential candidates don't endorse candidates in primaries. Trump is endorsing no one. Why is that a story? --

It's merely another controversy ginned up by the press. It is supported with false accusations coming from unnamed sources - although Trump did reply when asked ...

It is the primary not the general election
Trump won his primary and Ryan still didn’t endorse

Let Ryan win the primary and then we will see

Thanks for the link. Trump was just using Ryan’s words against him. He is just not there yet is another Trump joke. You have to be from the NYC metro area to enjoy it fully.

Paul Ryan spoke at the convention and endorsed Trump if I remember correctly.

AFTER Trump was the nominee... Ryan isn’t even the GOP nominee yet.

Trump won the primary

Ryan has yet to win his and Trump is under no obligation to endorse in a Primary

Who did Ryan endorse in the GOP Presidential primary

But even if Ryan loses, he can remain Speaker, right?

Trump should actively campaign against Democrat Paul Ryan.

Good point.
I think he could remain technically.

Editor’s note: NBC News is reporting that key Republicans close to Donald Trump are plotting an intervention after what many pundits are calling a “disastrous” 48 hours, and party leaders are questioning whether Trump can stay at the top of the ticket without consequences for the GOP as a whole. Sources have told NBC News that RNC chair Reince Priebus, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich are among those trying to talk Trump into a reset of his campaign. In the last few days, Trump has repeatedly criticized a Gold Star family, declared he “always wanted” a Purple Heart, and refused to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Sen. John McCain. Some Republicans are reportedly considering what would happen to the GOP ticket if Trump dropped out, but there has been no indication Trump is considering leaving the race. - Rebecca

Good. That’s exactly what I would have wanted him to do.

Those political animals planning an “intervention” need to be fired. The only mistake I see Trump making (IMO) is in allowing members of our irredeemably corrupt political class near him.

NBC reporting........ ugh. Saw Paul Manifort (awesome dude) this AM. Said “news to me” about some intervention. Hogwash it is.

Any chance Ryan could lose?
