If Ryan and McCane are not gracious and equally supportive it might just harm them. DJT is sly like a fox. Remember how he let CRUZ talk at convention where even the Texas delegates boooood.
He’s giving them some rope.
Trump says the magic words: "In our shared mission to make America great again I support and endorse our Speaker of the House Paul Ryan."
This is like a hostage video right now with Trump endorsing Ryan, McCain and Ayotte

Worth repeating. I love the imagery, especially for McCain and LyinRyan!
I think that’s EXACTLY what he’s doing!
Perhaps.
Poor Nehlen is at the rally. Imagine what it feels like to be him right now.
Ryan didn’t even show up.
The only saving grace for me is that he read his endorsement flatly, without his usual passion.
So to me it sent the signal that I am doing this because it is necessary, not because I really,really want to do this.
And it removes the old bugaboo about McCain not being a hero.
We have to see how it plays out.
As president, Trump will continue the bully pulpit that he is using right now. If these people he endorsed try to thwart him, he will have torches and pitchforks on Capitol Hill overnight.
Hoosiermama you may be right about him giving them the rope!!!
As leader of the R party, Trump is pivoting to focus on what matters: winning this election and having a Republican Congress when hebvtakes office. No one can make America great again with Harry Reid running the Senate roadblock machine. Trump is a fast learner and he’s been a politician for just over a year, time to refine and adapt before regular people actually start paying attention.
Ryan’s fate is and always has been up to 700,000 voters in Wisconsin who have always loved him. Hopefully Nehlen put him on notice, but I think Ryan will probably win with 60% of the vote.
On Wisconsin! Trump needs you in Nov!
