Not in the Primary. But in the General? That's a whole other kettle of fish, especially since he's pissed off a lot of Trump supporters in Wisconsin.

Ryan is no Republican, only pretends to be one and pushes Obama's agenda. Could his Democratic opponent by even worse?

The voters in Ryan's district had the opportunity to elect a good perosn. They chose instead someone who hates this country.

Wisconsin utilizes an open primary system.
Registered voters do not need to be a member of the party
whose primary they wish to vote in.

I hope the Commucrat beats him in the general election. Losing one seat would be worth not having him as speaker.

I don't think that he even has a Democrat opponent, no one is attempting political suicide.

“Must be doing a lot of great things for the folks back home.” He brings home the bacon. Goes good with cheese. That is, until Ryan declares that bacon is now “Haram.”

Some nitwits say really stupid things on this site...you for example.

Ryan’s district is basically north Chicago.

Chicago doesn't even know what a Republican is....

Paul Ryan is a turtle turd. A one eye GOPe turtle gave birth to him when it pooped. Out came a green turd the size of a peanut. Thus Ryan was born. It’s in the scriptures.

A tad on the juvenile side wouldn't you say???

and as for scripture, you must be a protestant, making it up as you desire.

This was not unexpected. But I'm still disappointed. I hope the genuine conservatives in District 1 will consider voting Libertarian in November ... Ryan needs to be sent packing one way or the other.

Re: “But were the Polls wrong or right on this one?”

I saw a Ryan poll yesterday that had him at 80%.

Slightly off topic...

A lot of people at Free Republic were happy when Kansas Republican Congressman Tim Huelskamp lost his primary.

Huelskamp was anti-Trump.

What’s the bad news?

Huelskamp was also a hard core opponent of Open Borders and Amnesty.

He also opposed many of the farm subsidies supported by the GOP.

Paul Ryan was so enraged at Huelskamp he threw him off the Agriculture Committee.

Bottom Line - Ryan gets 85%, and Huelskamp gets beat.

It will probably be Nancy Pelosi. But then again, for all intents and purposes she has been the Speaker.

Who care if he had “issues” if he’s elected he’s a freshman congresscritter. Can’t really do that much damage, whereas the weasel he was running against is actively trying to destroy the country.

Nope. Boehner threw Cruz Jr. off the Ag Committee. Ryan reneged on a promise to put him back on it. What a soap opera. LOL
