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.

What’s wrong with the voters up there?

Ignorant & inbred for starters.

I, and I know many others were hoping that in a low turnout primary there would be enough ticked off Trump supporters to at least send Ryan a message.

Instead, tonight will give Ryan unfettered license to continue to frag Trump with an eye to 2020.

Thanks for link.

You know, just the most casual scan of that R-heavy voting suggests the Don should be in there at least three times before the election...

If Ryan's good enough for Trump, he's good enough for me.

So you support McCain too?

He is small businessman. At one time he supported and volunteered on Ryan’s campaign...But of course, Ryan betrayed him and everyone.

Nehlen is wonderful! He is conservative—smaller government, less regulations, strong borders, anti-immigration, NO TTP global trade stuff. Strong on school local control.

Would love to have him in congress :)

He is the “Anti-Ryan”

Ann Coulter among others. I believe Sarah Palin endorsed him as well. Trump of course ended up with a mild endorsement but Trump is playing a long game with many more pokers in the fire. he needed to seem into the party unity garbage.

there are those who are unsure who is conservative anymore. The label is badgered as the Trump/Palin “side”, if you will, considers itself conservative and the Cruz/Ryan “side” considers itself conservative.

Well, the "Trump/Palin side" has fewer RYNOs and Candadians.

Why? So the Republican Speaker of the House can snub the GOP nominee 3 more times. Forget Wisconsin. Ryan doesn’t want to win it in November. Time to move on.

He is a small businessman...wants smaller government, less regulation, lower taxes, he is anti-immigration, pro border control, pro-local school control for starters :)

With all due respect, it was over before it started. You people can post nasty remarks about it til the cows come home but Ryan is very well liked and has been a good Congressman for 18 years in the eyse of his constitutents. Who are the only ones that matter when it comes to re-electing him.

If you don’t like his influence as Speaker, take it up with the 236 Republicans who voted him into that job.
