LIVE THREAD: Ryan vs Nehlen Wisconsin 1st Congressional District Primary 8/09/2016
WisPolitics.com ^

Posted on 08/09/2016 9:50:32 AM PDT by nikos1121

1st CD, Republican: Incumbent Paul Ryan, of Janesville, and Paul Nehlen, of Williams Bay.

I absolutely have nothing on this election, so I thought I'd start a thread, and we can add to it as information comes in. Some polls have Ryan way ahead, and a few find it less certain. On the other hand, wasn't this the climate before the Cantor election? He was sitting fat dumb and happy with a big lead in the polls?

If I were a betting man, I'd have to put my money on Ryan and by all counts, he's a very popular guy up there, but then again, so is Obama.

Also, that replacing someone like Ryan with a new guy meanse your state loses all the influence and pull he’d built up over the past 18 years.

Exact same bologna could have been said about Eric Cantor.

On a related matter before the results pour in:
“The selfie Paul Nehlen posted to social media of a ballot in the 1st CD GOP primary prompted a warning from the state Elections Commission’s spokesman that doing so can generate complaints under the state’s election fraud law.

Still, Reid Magney also noted the commission does not have the authority to prosecute a violation and recent cases in Indiana and New Hampshire involving similar statutes have resulted in courts striking down the laws...”

My problem with Ryan has NOTHING to do with his speakership it has to do with his BETRAYAL on the budget, THEN said he had NO fingerprints in the budget HOWEVER was the HEAD of the budget committee!!! LYIN RYAN!!!!

Ryan got 236 votes from the House Republican caucus to be Speaker. There were ten votes by Republicans for other candidates.

Ryan’s an ass. He tried to say the omnibus was dropped on him so he had to push it through. He worked side by side with Boehner on that bill and TPP. He’s a globalist snake.

Exactamundo. There were reports at the time that Ryan’s office wrote that bill. They tried to keep it on the down low to keep the GOP plantation voters in the dark.

Win or lose this has unmasked Ryan. He was exposed for being for job killing trade deals, for passing and funding Obamacare. He was exposed as an open border radical. Open borders hurt wages, take jobs from many Americans, and depress wages.

He looks like a guy on the take, for sale, and against American interests.

If Trump wins he will surely be out as speaker.

A very conservative friend who lives in Waukehsa County says he and his wife just voted for Ryan. They believe he represents their district well, is open to isuses and concerns (they’ve received his help on one), and that Nehlen “seems to be a nutbag”.


Ah, yes. The cognitive dissonance of “conservatives” in WI CD1. What ever your friends may think of Nehlen he would be in no position in Congress to push TPP and Amnesty through the House. Paul Ryan would do that happily. How do you “conservative” friends feel about voting for amnesty and TPP?

Sadly, Ryan has only been unmasked to the 1% of people outside the beltway paying attention. He’s still the Gold Child of the beltway. Loved by all: GOP, DEMS, MSM, etc. He is a dangerous, dangerous man because of his position of power and ability to promote his brand of faux conservatism.

don’t blame the voters of CD 1 for that.

Oh no, you're not getting off that easily. WI is a state full of knuckleheads, the fact that they elected Ryan proves that.

If not for the money poured in by Illinois tourists, you'd still be living in wigwams.

I am praying for a Ryan win. I am nervous he won’t. He is an honest guy. Unlike, the Nehlan supporters who were putting up multiple signs on the polling grounds which is illegal. They didn’t even care. They were putting up signs and taking pictures of everyone they put up. They must be getting paid by someone per sign.

Leave our state alone. First Scott Walker and now Paul Ryan.
