Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift that has put the Republican presidential nominee at odds with its highest-ranking elected official.

Trump's endorsement of Ryan would come at an 8 p.m. ET rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, two sources said.

Noooo! Don't do it! Don't endorse him unless he wins! Nehlen has continued to stick up for Trump and defend him from Ryan's backhanded attacks. Trump is a loyal guy, and he shouldn't let the establishment encourage him to do this. Paul Ryan will always be a thorn in Trump's side if they have to work together. Nehlen backs Trump and his policies. If Trump does this, this could hurt Nehlen.

By the way, Reince Priebus, as head of the RNC, is supposed to remain neutral (I would think).

I see this is already posted from a different news outlet, but same sentiment.

Heads up if you want to delete this.

I hope this isn’t true. Ryan doesn’t want his endorsement and Trump doesn’t want to give it.

Go Nehlen, Go!!!

Who made this announcement?

That was a stupid thing to do

I hope it is as left-handed a compliment as you can get... like “you don't sweat much for a fat girl”

I hope making the Ryan race get national attention brings out the Nehlan supporters in full force

WI FREEPERS GET YUR ASSES MOVING to oust Ryan~!!!

By waiting so soon before the primary he made his statement. Leave it at that. He is hoping to make nice with the GOP as they have accepted him and since Ryan endorsed him back in June he’s playing nice. Once Ryan loses he can endorse the other guy.

Bottom line is Ryan is going to win. Trump made him sweat. Ryan is the one who needs Trump. Not the other way around. Trump held out and Ryan buckled. Ryan gets his endorsement if he stops this nonsense and helps Trump. Pence already endorsed him and McCain.

Like it or not it’s better to have him on board with a Trump endorsement than to be fighting with him until November. Trump has bigger fish to fry.

Didn’t Trump just endorse Rubio the other day when he was in Florida? I suspect Trump thinks this will pacify the idiot RINOS. It won’t. Got news for you my fellow Freepers. If Cruz were the nominee he would of endorsed Ryan. Rubio, Walker, Jeb and all the rest would of done the same too. I think I’ll check out from FR for a week or two because I can already predict the sky is falling, it’s all over crowd will be here in droves. I need a break from this. See you all in a bit.

"... two sources said ...."

That's it, and it's 'gospel"?!?!?!

Something tells me that the media knows something we don't ... it's not like them to hit this hard during their summer vacations unless they know something.

Endorse a man that has publicly declared to work to defeat every plan you have announced to accomplish as President?

Mr Trump, I have a fine ski-resort in Florida that i would love to sell you.

If it’s true it’s because he needs Wisconsin’s electoral votes in the fall. This is about winning the Presidency not a spat with Ryan. If he wins there will be plenty of time to argue with Ryan later.

The fight with Republicans is over for the time being. Trump needs to be all about defeating Clinton. There will be plenty of time for Republicans to argue over policy later.

Trump is asking a lot of people who don’t like him to vote for him because Clinton is worse. If he wastes his time fighting in Republican primaries they have no reason to vote for him.
