Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is expected to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, moving to mend an intra-party rift that has put the Republican presidential nominee at odds with its highest-ranking elected official.

Trump's endorsement of Ryan would come at an 8 p.m. ET rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, two sources said.

Endorse Ryan.

Send a big fat check to Nehlan’s campaign.

Every post you make is silly. You fail to see the big picture. Trump is running anti establishment campaign How could he possibly endorse Mr. Establishment? He looks foolish and disingenuous.

... since Ryan endorsed him back in June he’s playing nice.

It appears you may be correct. That might be relevant if this were simply an ego issue; however, there is an important political issue at stake.

There is a real risk that Ryan is owned by powerful/influential folks whose objectives are much different than Trump's. With or without Trump's endorsement, a Speaker Ryan could well be an significant obstacle to the implementation of Trump's plans.

In any event, what is to be gained by endorsing Ryan? What could very well be at stake are undecided voters who question whether Trump is strong enough to be a political leader. What most of us respect is that Trump is an ass-kicker who it appears will answer to only to common sense and American "make my day" principles.

If you break your vow and take what you hope will be a fatal shot at the king, you should not expect that an apology will save you. If Trump's non-endorsement throws the election to Nehlen, it would be an economical way to solve two issues with one action.

I just listened to his entire Iowa rally. Not a work about Ryan. I think he has another rally this evening.

Yeah, me too. It’s supposed to be (if this is true) at the one in Wisconsin tonight (which would make sense). I really hope not.

I was hoping that too, but I worry that if Trump endorses Ryan, Trump supporters who would have otherwise voted for Nehlen will now vote Ryan.

Trump just needs to stay neutral until the primary ends. Nehlen has been a tireless defender of him.

YOU are willing to kill this country over a single hill on a single battle field. To be clear, I hate Ryan, he’s a damn traitor and he needs to be removed from power, I would not agree with Trump on any such endorsement, BUT Trump has far bigger fish to fry.

As for “GFY”, well, that isn’t physically possible with me, but it might well be where YOU live. Perhaps after you get your girl Clinton elected, you will even be able to marry yourself.

Manafort is telling Trump to endorse Ryan. Trump should not trust him nor endorse until after Tuesday.
