As Donald Trump holds off endorsing House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in Wisconsin's Republican primary, his running mate enthusiastically endorsed Ryan on Wednesday, calling him a “longtime friend” and “strong conservative leader.”
“I strongly support Paul Ryan, strongly endorse his reelection,” Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said during an interview on Fox News on Wednesday afternoon. “I believe we need Paul Ryan in leadership in the Congress of the United States to rebuild our military, to strengthen our economy and to ensure that we have the kind of leadership in this country that will make America great again.”
Trump has angered his party's leadership by refusing to endorse Ryan or Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in their primary campaigns. Both Ryan and McCain have endorsed Trump but have remained critical of many of his comments, including Trump's ongoing public feud with the parents of a Muslim American soldier killed in 2004. Wisconsin holds its primary Tuesday and the Arizona primary is later this month. In an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday, Trump praised Ryan’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen.

Oh God.
Ut oh
What happens if Pence drops out ?
I’m not there yet (and never will be!).
dammit Pence...
I wish he had picked Gingrich
Gingrich would not pull this kind of crap.
Is there serious competition for that slot at this point?
What a loser... WHO CARES WHO YOUR FRIEND IS!!! This is the future of the country. Paul Ryan is TPP! Paul Ryan is Syrian Refugee express! Paul Ryan is the speaker allowing Obama to do what he wants like executive orders an an 800 Billion dollar increase of Budget! Paul Ryan wont endorse Trump!
I don’t think Trump realized how far the establishment would go to destroy him. You think you know, but until you are in the middle of the hurricane, you have no idea.
He really needs to get a close knit team together with Roger Stone over the weekend and come out focused and guns blazing.
Pence could be eyeing to be the replacement president uniparty candidate.
Major error from Pence.
I think he’s been very solid so far but he has made a huge misstep here.
Newt would be worse.

I’m no concern troll, but this is bad. The last thing Trump needs now.
I said Pence was an iffy choice. Got beat up for it.
Doubt Pence would have done this without DJT’s permission. It is a token peace, not a rebellion.
About time Pence stepped up and took some of the fire off Trump
I totally agree. The concern controls are out. Well, actually the Cruzites and Never Trumpers.
I agree. Pence is just easing the way.
With the talk of replacing Trump recently. i see a problem arising. Another Globalist that will lose to her Heinous.
