GREEN BAY, Wisc. — Donald Trump's campaign said Friday it barred House Speaker Paul Ryan's primary challenger Paul Nehlen from entering the candidate's Wisconsin rally because the candidate didn't show a ticket, refuting Nehlen's charges that the Wisconsin Republican Party was working to keep him away.

Nehlen tried to attend the rally as a spectator, but told reporters after a Saturday-afternoon rally in Kenosha, that he was barred entry by the state party in an attempt to keep him out of the public eye.
"The Wisconsin GOP is doing everything they can to keep my name out of anywhere. They don't want their own constituents to know that, that there's an option out there. They want Speaker Ryan to be the only game in town. That's how the Wisconsin machine works," Nehlen told NBC News in an interview.
But a Wisconsin GOP staffer pushed back Nehlen's comments, telling NBC News that the Wisconsin GOP staff at the rally were acting as volunteers, and only the Trump campaign had the discretion to decide who to bar from entering the rally. And Trump Campaign Communications Director Jason Miller said that it was the campaign's decision to turn Nehlen away from the Green Bay rally.
"A Trump campaign representative was the person who turned away Mr. Nehlen, because he didn't have a ticket for the event. I'm looking into the matter further. Our events are always open to the public if you're a ticketed attendee," Miller said in an interview.
In response, the Nehlen campaign produced copies of two tickets to the Green Bay rally they say they tried to use to get in to the event. Asked about the tickets, the Trump campaign reiterated that no ticket was presented at the door, without clearing up the discrepancy between the two.

I recently did some reserach for a supposed company that was planning to move to my small valley and buy 9 acres to do its fake reserach business.
A few hours of research proved it was a total scam, the info as sent to the city attorney, and permit was denied.
But do you think he can win against the Democrat machine in Wisconsin in light of this information?
And thanks for reading the link because I appreciate you discussing this with me because I’m not sure what to make of it. However, I am of the opinion that the Democrats would kill him over this business stuff.
I’d take my chances with Nehlen. Yes they would attack on this issue, but honestly, there isn’t a lot to grab onto there, especially if the opponent is not a business person him/herself.
Honestly, I rather have the Democrat win and hope to hold the rest of the house. Ryan simply does not deserve to be re-elected.
I have been to a Trump rally. I have to wonder HOW it came that Nehlen was even spotted. Even though it is well ordered chaos - it is still chaotic. Multiple security lines - there were ten or so in Syracuse. Was some eagle eyed dude assigned to be on the look-out?
And Nehlan apparently quickly contacted the Daily Caller (not too in love with Trump at the DC) to give them his story about being turned away.
