A longtime Republican financial backer who attended a New York fundraiser held by Chris Christie for Donald Trump Thursday tells The Daily Caller that most Republican donors are on board with Trump, yet House Speaker Paul Ryan is hoping Trump loses so he can run in four years.
The source tells TheDC that the reason Ryan has not been coming out strongly for Trump is because of his desire to run in four years. Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has been fervently anti-Trump, also wants to run in four years, according to the longtime Republican backer. Romney will be 73 in 2020.
An aide for Ryan told TheDC, Speaker Ryan said in an op-ed in the Janesville Gazette last week that he is voting for Donald Trump and of course he wants the Republican nominee to win in November.
At the New York City fundraiser, Christie didnt address Trumps comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel directly. Christie did however say that GOP leaders either back Trump, dont comment on him at all or say they support Hillary Clinton. The New Jersey governor specifically referenced South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, an individual with knowledge of the event held at the Four Seasons told TheDC.

“You may disagree with Ryan right now, but you have to realize that he still is fairly conservative. He was mentored by Jack Kemp, who probably should have won the 88 Republican nomination over Bush. “
Good ol’ Jack Kemp, who joined the Illegal Alien/Treason Lobby in their attempt to defeat Prop 187 and the grassroots conservatives who worked so hard to pass it.
The same Jack Kemp who as HUD Secretary muscled the city of Costa Mesa to prevent them from removing illegal aliens from subsidized housing.
Jack Kemp turned out to be a No Borders GOPe hack who carried water for La Raza and the Chamber of Commerce who loves illegals. He wouldn’t have been one lick better than amnesty loving Dubya. But you’re right that Ryan is cut from the very same cloth.
Doesn’t surprise me on bit.
Why Ryan doesn’t realize if Hillary is elected, there will be no 2020 for the USA.
Ryan usually has an expression on his face like he doesn’t really know what’s going on.
They arrive in Congress broke, and leave on their private jets
Where did the money come from to pay for their private jets?
Election Day should be April 16 .
Check out link # 73 .

The Founding Fathers never foresaw how their system would be gamed to rig control.
It would have been hard to predict. But these guys made it into an industry with careers to protect themselves.
If that’s the case, why did he work for Jack Kemp, one of the most revered conservatives in America?
They’re all slimes.
“If we deliberately lose this election, we’ll win the next one!”
They’ve only been saying that for about seventy years now, with an occasional brief intermission.
Both Lyin’ Ryan and Lyin’ Ted represent the Establishment Leftists of the GOP that want to regain control of the party from the People.
I’d love to see both of their traitorous asses get primaried out ASAP.
Can Ryan be any more full of himself? If true, this is insane.
That debate was PAINFUL to watch! I had to turn it off...
I would not accept this backstabbing lyin Ryan rino under any circumstances. We made ou feelings very clear this year.
Oh, excellent. For some reason I thought the primary happened there already and he made it. May he be Cantorized soundly.
Bump!
I should believe this why? The lib media wants us divided. Ryan has endorsed Trump.
The conniving Gang of 535 should be in federal prison. Uniparty PR man should be doing hard time.
Land of the thieves
home of the slaves.
FUPaulRyan
Thanks for the post; ping.
Paul Nehlen BUMP!
HOORAY Paul Nehlen! Thank you, sir.
Ryan has no chance of ever being president even if he survives his own primary challenge in his home state.
Seriously? Ryan’s wife is a democrat who has lobbied millions of dollars for the Clintons?!?!?
Wow! I had not known that!
You may disagree with Ryan right now, but you have to realize that he still is fairly conservative.
Sorry, the record just does not reflect that.
Ryan is all in for amnesty.
Ryan is all in for globalist anti-American trade agenda.
Ryan chose to cut vet pay in a deal he cut with the Dems while welfare queens received their full amount.
We were assaulted by the IRS. Ryan did nothing. We were physically assaulted at rallies. Ryan did nothing.
Paul Ryan is a self interested beltway careerist. Nothhing more, nothing less. Conservatism and defense of Main Street USA is the last of his concerns.
