Again, you sent me link from last week regarding the CONGRESSIONAL SEAT ENDORSEMENT...NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF RYAN FOR HOUSE SPEAKER...Trump did not support Ryan for Speaker...He supported Ryan’s primary election...Period...

You really need to learn to read.

Ryan isn’t running for Speaker, he’s running for his seat in Congress. Presidential candidates and presidents don’t endorse Speaker candidates; that’s the domain of the legislative branch.
The way I understood Mr. Trump’s statement in that part of his speech is that he began by quoting Ronald Reagan, 80% agreement should not triumph over 20% of disagreement. He then went on to say that he wanted the Republican Party to be a Big Tent Party where people don’t have to agree on every issue; and in that vein, he stated that he supported and endorsed “our Speaker of the House” Paul Ryan, and then he threw in endorsements for John McCain and Kelly Ayotte as well.
He could have said that he supported and endorsed Paul Ryan for reelection to Congress, but he added “our Speaker of the House.”

I’m done now.
