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.

Because Ryan’s future is more important than the country’s future.
I hope this man loses his primary... we have to do everything we can to make sure that happens
Cruz, Rubio, Ryan, Sasse etc. Want a See I Told So Moment so Trump can lose and they can run as the pure choice in 2020.
What will be Ryan-o’s campaign prop for 2020? Will it even sell in WI?
Ryan will never gets the votes Trump gets.
Not from Hispanics, not from Blacks and not from a lot of
conservatives, like me who won’t vote for him.
He will be lucky to win his primary.
RAT Rinos/Ryan Against Trump =
They were both free to run in 2016 too.
Vote for the Right Paul — Paul Nehlen on August 9, 2014, the anniversary of the Nixon resignation.
After his debate performance against Biden and his disgusting approval of whatever Obama wants...I would not vote for this turd.
I’ve got news for Ryan, who may have been promised by the Uniparty with all their scheming, there will not be a country in 2020 if Trump doesn’t get in. There will not be a Uniparty. The clintons will have taken over
Who wants a traitorous liar who would aid and abet the enemy for personal gain? He might make it if he runs as a Democrat - they know they can trust him.
Dumber than a box of rocks on the way to the stone crusher.
the fool thinks if the hag instead of Trump goes to the WH that the US will still exist in 4 years. Good luck with that Mr. Ryan.
‘of course he wants the Republican nominee to win in November.’
Sure he does. That’s why he called Trump a racist when nothing could be further from the truth.
Ryan proved he had no ethics (no Virtue) when he lied as he ran for VP.
He is a proven liar—no different from Hillary Clinton, who sold her soul to the devil after graduation from the indoctrination system. She is mentally ill—insane actually, as is Ryan who advocates paganism/satanism (sodomite behaviors as “normal” and “natural” to flip 2000 years of ethics back to the irrational, vile behaviors using human beings in irrational, insane, vile ways (as a Means to an End—anti-Christian always).
All people promote a faith/religion-—and he promotes Satanism and is using our “Just” Laws to promote his “faith” of satanism/paganism, as Hillary is doing, to embed irrationality, vice into our children.
Just Laws have to promote “public virtue” always (Christian Virtue which is based on “Laws of Nature and nature’s God” (the most Rational religion in the history of man is Christianity because of Thomas Aquinas (the Summa))-—not irrational, degrading acts on humans which remove dignity and meaning from Words/Language (destroys Reason and Wisdom of the Ages).
He wants to regress us back to the pagan, pederastic, slave religions—like islam-—all removed from Reason and Logic and Laws of Nature and nature’s God (Our Constitution). Pure irrational worshipper of Ba’al and one of our elite masters who dictate what we can and cannot “think” and dictate (mandate) what we can do with our private property-—etc., etc., in their socialistic (one (irrational) worldview allowed) paradise..
>If Trump loses there wont be a GOP in 2020.
Yep. 50 million new rat voters will see to that.
There shall be no opportunities for a “do-over” in 2020.
Herself, once again entrenched in the “Po’ White Hovel”, would not be removed by electoral means. It shall have become an hereditary office, and only struggles at the top will be significant, like recording history only as an account of kings who rule by divine right.
Paul Ryan’s only long shot was in 2012, and the Romney-Ryan ticket would not go for the relatively easy kill then. Trying to create a parallel history is never an easy task, because WAY too much depends on someone willing to make a push or take a risk ar the opportune moment.
In his dreams!!! He has such high opinions of himself.
