I’m not saying Ryan will lose but Cantor was claiming internal polling showing him with a 34 point lead and he lost by 10+ points to Dave Brat. These type of primaries usually don’t turn out voters. If angry voters show up which they usually do Ryan may be in for a surprise. We’ll see. Ryan’s district is only +3 unlike the VA 7th which is R +10 or even the Kansas District 1 which Huelskamp lost which was R+22. Now if Democrats wanted to screw GOP they could vote against Ryan but that is a rarity. Ryan is more milquetoast today than he was even 4 years ago and nothing Democrats like more is weak Republicans in leadership positions.

I know folks love Breitbart, but I wouldn’t hold out that they are correct.

Is it possible there is some huge last minute groundswell of anger, or that turnout will be light so those angry with Ryan will be so massively over represented that an upset will happen.... but I just wouldn’t count on it.

Who believes this? Ryan may well win but there’s no way he can win a Republican primary by a percentage like that.

I really slowed my NRO viewing in past months as they went full RINO-retard on Trump. Now that they have switched all comments to Facebook, I’m going to stop visiting there altogether.

Because it’s Wisconsin, it wouldn’t surprise me if Ryan won. In another state, I would give Nehlen a better shot.

This is right: Look Majority Leader Eric Cantor who is the third most powerful member of the Congress HAS a 34% lead in his internal polls and he was re-elected right?
