Ryan is the GOP (elite) Speaker if the House. 
if he loses, the GOP loses a national spokesman and - to the DC elites - a BIG influence. (Unfortunately, most of that national influence has been used to promote a Nancy Pelosi lite series of enabling legistlation and poloticial dramas that only advance Oboma's agendas. Democrat agendas. 
So, in an open primary, democreats can vote. 
Do they vote to keep a compliant speaker whom Oboma and McConnell can manipulate, or do they vote to kick out a republican speaker so the republican party looses stature and image?

    Have not heard too much discussion on the probability of democrat voters throwing it - and can they can throw it either way, amidst all of the "hidden so we wont talk about them" polls about who is actually in the lead in this race.

    I am hopeful but seeing polls suggest Ryan to get more than 90%, while hopefully exaggerated, I do suspect he will pull out a victory over Nehlen.

    The Democrats hate Trump.
Trump endorsed Ryan.

    No word of exit polls, so must be bad for RINO Ryan.

    No word of exit polls,
I’m afraid to ask — are they taking *exit polls* ?
