Paul Ryan Plummets to 43 Percent in New Primary Poll
Breitbart.com ^ | July 9, 2016 | Julia Hahn

Posted on 07/09/2016 4:39:30 PM PDT by Defiant

A poll of likely Republican voters shows House Speaker Paul Ryan well below 50 percent in his race to maintain his seat in Wisconsin’s first Congressional district. The poll was conducted by P.M.I., with 424 respondents randomly called from a file of 11,000 likely GOP primary voters. It shows that with one month remaining before Wisconsin’s August 9th vote, Ryan is polling at 43 percent. Ryan’s challenger, Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen, is polling at 32 percent.

The Nehlen campaign notes that Ryan’s 43 percent “represents a drop of more than 30 points since the Nehlen campaign began polling likely Republican primary voters earlier in the year.”

“This poll shows voters are considering their options and choosing to opt out of Paul Ryan’s job-killing policies,” Nehlen said.

OOPS! August 9th! DEMOCRATS vote on August 8th, LOL!

SORRY! I had to run to the kitchen to look at my calendar. I can’t even vote against him, but I have ‘Cantorize Ryan’ written on August 9th!

A sitting Speaker has never lost a primary.

“...waiting for superman Trump to fly in and rescue WI as well.”

Scott Walker is doing a FINE job as Governor. He’s pulled our bacon out of the fire, for sure!

Of course, since the TWO major media outlets in this state are run by LefTards, the REST of America doesn’t get to hear about it. ;)

“It is just a gut feeling, but it is feeling good, big changes coming...”

I totally agree. I see the pendulum swinging back in our favor, BIG TIME.

HOWEVER - once we gain the advantage we have GOT to keep our act together and not squander ONE PRECIOUS MOMENT of it...because we’re really, REALLY good at doing that...and the LefTards never, ever, EVER give up!

Grrrrr!

If he loses his primary, he really needs to be taken out of the speaker’s chair. Anger and deception will prevail (more than it normally does.)

Maybe Ryan will have to actually debate Nehlen.

However, CNN IS HELPING PAUL RYAN BY GIVING HIM A ONE HOUR TOWNHALL ON TUESDAY!

Nehlen did not give $1.2 trillion to 0bama and he didn’t give $150 billion to Iran.

Nehlen is also not responsible for not stopping 0care, as Ryan and the GOPe promised they would do. In fact, Ryan has bent over backwards to be the finest example of a liberal one could imagine in a claimed GOP member.

Can you explain why you like Ryan better?

GleeAikin, when I see you screen name, why am I reminded of both a Fox TV show that highlighted gays and of a certain gay singer from yet a different Fox TV show?

“We can only hope so. He needs to be defeated.”

He does. If Ryan wins the primary, this would be one of the rare times it would be worth supporting the democrat. Losing one house seat to put a political kill shot on that quisling would be worth it.

well then it’s time for a Speaker of the House to be Cantorized, and let it send a resounding message to all the CINOs, RINOs, cucks, and every assorted loser trying to derail the Trump Train!

WHY WOULD A VOTER IN WISCONSIN LIKE NEHLEN BETTER THAN PAUL RYAN????

Maybe because he isn’t a Profession Politician who has sold his party down the river?

Maybe because Paul Ryan let the job of ‘House Speaker’ go to his head, and he now thinks he is King?

Maybe because Paul Ryan thinks he is going to be the 2016 Nominee?

What ever...time for Term Limits, and Paul Ryan’s time has run out..

I could see the Democrats pulling a Lisa Murkowski if he loses, and supporting his write in candidacy in the general.

Because he isn’t RINO Ryan, chief enabler of Obama and the Left. Because a Nehlen victory will send a message to the scumbag GOPe enablers of Obama and the Left that they had BETTER start to actually represent us.

This is good news for Trump. The voters aren’t buying what the GOPe are selling anymore.

At least a lot more of them arent.

Still would like to see him loasing in the polls, but it could come.

Ryno is politically doomed. He has resisted the greatest American since George Washington, like a fool. It is too late now. He and cruz are but worms now.
