A dark horse who appeared out of the Wisconsin woodwork, businessman Paul Nehlen, was reportedly neck-and-neck with House Speaker Paul Ryan (shown) in the primary polls taken in early July. Pundits pooh-poohed those polls as being unreliable, but Ryan has since adjusted his primary campaign strategy to keep the public from asking him “unscripted” questions, queries that Nehlen keeps raising. Ryan doesn’t want to become another Eric Cantor, the former House Majority Leader who lost to a nobody in 2014.
Nehlen suddenly became a national figure and symbol of the country’s populist uprising on Tuesday when Donald Trump turned Ryan’s words into a quasi-endorsement of Nehlen. Back in May, when asked if he was ready to endorse Donald Trump for the presidency, Ryan waffled: “I’m just not ready to do that at this point. I’m not there right now.” Trump trumpeted his response immediately

I have read from multiple sources that the polling outfit Ryan is using is the one the GOPe uses as their “go to” when needing good numbers. I suspect if one started digging into ownership, alliances, and methodologies, one would discover the makings of a “rigged poll.”
If WI CD01 conservatives cannot see the big picture in this race, then so be it. Trump will “work with” Ryan to do what he has promised. And we’ll get to see what Lyin Ryan looks like after “working with” The Donald, won’t we?
For the rest of you who understand that a flawed Nehlen is better than a treasonous, globalist Ryan, take heart. Besides that poll being bogus, remember that the CD01 constituency is likely no different than the rest of country, where people are silently pulling for Trump but don’t discuss it publicly.
There will be “hidden Nehlen voters” who aren’t admitting they’re dumping their good buddy Ryan for the MAGA-guy who will protect our sovereignty and not sell us out on the global stage.
And one final question to close: Why would a guy who’s polling at 80% be dodging his own constituents, changing his Depends on an hourly basis, and hiding in the broom closet? Just saying.
Not bothering to go further on this topic - you win! Congratulations!
Let’s not forget that Ryan was a cheerleader for the backstabbing never Trump asshats....
and lets not forget giving Obama a blank check (omnibus), illegal immigration, TPP etc.
Don’t see much difference between Ryan and the democrat.
I don’t know if Nehlen would be different. What have we got to lose? Besides, I would love to see....
“the backstabbing Bush neocon globalists elites start sharting in their panties.”
You are telling me the IRS has not put him in jail for not paying FEDERAL Income taxes? They have not emptied his accounts? Don't have a federal warrant out on him? No liens?
I don't have a clue what you mean about advising friends on “business”?
From your tone you hate this guy. Fine.
Thanks for shoving that F’inng Lyin Cowardly Omnibus Ryan down our throats. I am sure you Cheeseheads know what is better for the country then we do.
It’s odd. Skewed as it may be, this is the only recent poll that exists. And every web site is pushing it. Polls from early July showed Ryan 43 and Nehlen 38. It changed that much in a month?
All of that was from an interview he gave some time back. His own words - sorry you missed it.
One more question for anyone who can explain...
How is it that a Congressional district full of Cruz-lovin Constitutionalists who rejected Trump can be the SAME group of people who would support open borders, Common Core, an unlimited influx of TB-riddled, unvetted Islamic refugees, and 100% funding of Obama’s Marxist agenda? How is that?
Otoh, if the WI CD01 voters are comprised of GOPe NeverTrumper globalist elite Establishment types, then yeah, Nehlen will lose.
Democrat Representative Tom Foley lost the general election to his Republican opponent George Nethercutt in 1994.
I don't think a Speaker of the House has ever lost a primary election.
Link please.
Sorry it was a radio interview on WISN - do not remember the show - maybe Belling.
See link at post 20. Remington Research Group started by Jeff Roe. A polling firm run by a crook is hardly reliable. Would be like Chelsea doing polls for Hillary.
OK. I will ignore your post since you can’t substantiate it. He “never sold nothing”’ LOL, that doesn’t even make sense. He had to sell something....just saying.
This whole thing sounds like a huge cluster - which poll by whom, who did what to whom, while others battled over the kitchen sink, as would be likely perhaps voters tittered.
Fine - you win. Congratulations!
From your link:
<< ...we did a little checking. Get this…
Remington Research group was founded by a guy named Jeff Roe. And in 2014, Roe did work in Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s race. And Walker, like Priebus, is a YUGE Paul Ryan supporter.
But wait, there’s more…
If you read beyond the horse race numbers that the media couldn’t wait to blare, you’ll find that 90% of the people polled were in urban Milwaukee, with the other 10% coming from urban Madison – both of which account for only a TINY sliver of the entire district!
They didn’t poll in the rural and suburban areas of the 1st District. I wonder why? >>
And if he wins the primary, we go after him in the general. Easy peasy.
Remember, Cantor and the republican establishment were STUNNED at his primary defeat. Cantor was to be speaker one day.
Polls are skewed...it’s just that simple. Political operatives do this to discourage opponents from voting, “Heck, there guy is up HUUUGE in the polls. Screw it, no need to vote”.
(Dishonest RINO) Jeff Roe ran Lyin' Canuck Ted's Presidential campaign.
Any poll by Roe is flat out not true.
Tells me allot about Wisconsin voters.
I work with a couple of guys from Wisconsin and have worked with a few in the past. Squirrely liberal/libertarian types.
Look at Minnesoooota and that crack pot Ventura....same sort of mentality just next door to Wisconsin.
