Ryan has a primary challenge to think about; if anyone should be hunting for an endorsement at the moment, it is the Speaker if he wishes to keep his job...

Don’t oversell yourself on this argument, remember WI is the place where the GOPe made its stand against Trump solidy... they have a well organized and well oiled machine there... I would not remotely expect WI to suddenly after being whipped up by the GOPe in the nevertrump camp that they are going to vote out Ryan for not jumping onboard with Trump right away.
Ryan is safe, I really think the dreams of a ousting of Ryan in the primary is a complete misreading of things. I don’t think Ryan is going to be “taken out” by external money and forces mad at him, any more than the externally funded and backed recall efforts did in WI... WI is WI, they aren’t going to yield to outside forces and will rally against them.
Best any national movement could hope for regarding Ryan in the shorter term, would be to try to oust him as speaker... that’s a long shot as well, but you have a far better shot at that, than taking him out in the Primary in WI IMHO.
