Paul Ryan was NEVER going to support Trump..EVER..and Paul Ryan/Romney were the ones that released the tape NOT Hillary Clinton..that tape was supposed to be saved til the end of October, thus the October Surprise, not the beginning of October surprise..but they had to release it because of Wikileaks, and Ryan needed a reason to screw over Trump so he uses that idiotic tape as an excuse
You are almost right. The reason they released the tape now was in the arrogant hopes of Trump dropping out and replacing him on the ballot. It was all timed such that in a month nobody could gather the actual evidence that the tape had been released by the GOPe.
