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.

Looks like my prediction of 80% of the vote was overly cautious...

You go to battle with the army you have not the one you want.

Any Army that goes to battle with 5th columnists like Ryan will be defeated.

We'd be better off without him.

wisn.com

calls it for Ryan

Ryan 19,863 or 85%

Nehlen 3,483 or 15%


Just a WAG but this may be why Trump pro forma “endorsed” Ryan on the night Ryan publicly snubbed him.

Phyllis Schlafly, duh! How could I forget her! She gave Nehlen and ringing endorsement!


Crowning endorsement in my opinion—gold standard :)

When Trump wins, Ryan will not have an easy time in DC.

Yes, and the Al Sharpton endorsement as well.

I’m sure you’re right. Trump knew he would need to convert these Cruz voters to support him against Crooked Hillary by coming out to vote for him in Nov. instead of just staying home in protest. So extending an olive branch by endorsing their beloved congressman Ryan who was going to win anyway was a good political move.

Ryan may be very well liked in his district, but he has hurt America. He is not a good person. He is a liar and he does not have a servant’s heart.

It’s a shame you think we should take it up with those 236 Republicans. You may get your wish, since your precious Ryan is doing all he can to get Hillary in the White House, which will have a severe impact down ticket.

Go Pats.

People usually have a way of supporting their local RINOs, no matter what - it's everybody else's RINO that must go.

For all the good it did, I voted for the dim in MS against Cochran in ‘14.

Felt good too.

Decision desk showing 30% of the vote in. Nehlen 3,200 votes, Ryan 17,607. Its over folks.

That is too bad. I was really hoping Ryan would get his comeuppance.
