Wisconsin — House Speaker Paul Ryan’s policy record is collapsing among voters here under scrutiny from Republican challenger Paul Nehlen, so badly that Ryan is refusing to appear even on the Fox News Channel. “We know Speaker Ryan, he’s been on this program many, many times,” Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy opened an interview with Nehlen on Thursday morning by saying. “We invited him to be on today.”
Later in the interview with Nehlen, Doocy divulged even more: “We did invite Speaker Ryan to appear today, and he declined.”
The fact that Ryan is shunning former media allies and generally refusing interviews except with his closest friends on local radio shows how terrified he and his team are ahead of next week’s primary showdown with Nehlen. No recent polling has been done on the race, so it’s unclear whether Nehlen is within striking distance here on Tuesday. But Ryan’s team is certainly taking nothing for granted, especially after last cycle’s embarrassing loss by then House Majority Leader Eric Cantor to now Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA).
Republicans party-wide are aware that Nehlen may win, and are prepared to support him if he does beat Ryan.

Mickey Kaus: ‘How Wisconsin Democrats Can End Paul Ryan’s Career — Next Week!’
Writing in the Huffington Post, Mickey Kaus suggests a way for Democrat voters in Wisconsin to end Republican Speaker Paul Ryan’s political career.
On Tuesday, August 9, there’s a primary for the seat held by Paul Ryan, the House Speaker. It’s in the news — Ryan is being challenged in the Republican primary by a hitherto little-known businessman, Paul Nehlen. There’s also a contested primary on the Democratic side. On Tuesday, Donald Trump pointedly refused to endorse Ryan, which doesn’t necessarily reflect any Ryan weakness in the district (more like Trump and Ryan’s irreconcilable differences.) But Ryan was vulnerable before, and he’s more vulnerable now.
I was happily watching that trash TMZ while waiting for Judge Judy to come one but it’s been pre-empted by the idiot liar in chief. I hope he gets the hell off my tv before judge judy.
Now what is he droning on about? I never watch him he is a LIAR among other things.
I don’t know the local Wisconsin political lay of the land. If Nehlan primaries Ryan, does he have a chance in November?
ISIL....ISIL....ISIL....war on mosquitoes and blaming congress for not passing some BS before they went on summer vacation. I hate that man with every fiber of my being.
Ryan may well find next week find that his words, “I’m just not quite there yet,” are going to be hiss epitaph.
Unfortunately Ryan will probably win....
But we can hope and pray...
Ryan has not withheld his support...
In addition, Ryan’s campaign website incredibly claims that he is interested in securing the border.
Lyin' Ryan.
Cantorize the RINO bastard!!
Ugh. If feel the same way as you. I detest this man something is wrong with him.
OMG he’s delusional. He’s telling people to call their congressman to get them back to their jobs to fight Mosquitoes.
Cantorize that weasel!
Me too!!
Every fiber of my being....that sums it up.
All politicians know that the lie is their weapon of choice. Ryan has turned into a pathological liar because he is hiding the scumbag he is. So obvious.
“August 9,” the date of the GOP primary, “will be Wisconsin’s Independence Day,” Nehlen said, echoing the successful Brexit slogan.

“No recent polling has been done on the race,”
Actually a poll was conducted 7-20 to 7-29 and Nehlen is leading by about 4 pts.
Nehlan has really impressed me with his concise creative and dead nuts accurate attacks on St. Pauli Girl.
