House Speaker Paul Ryan wins primary, defeats longshot GOP challenger praised by Donald Trump.
Ryan was being challenged by Paul Nehlen.
Nehlen had been courting Trump supporters and won praise from the Republican presidential nominee last week. But Trump endorsed Ryan days later.
Ryan had largely ignored Nehlen in what had been a sleepy primary before Trump thanked Nehlen on Twitter for his comments defending Trump. Nehlen won the backing of some prominent conservative figures, including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, but it wasn't enough to overcome Ryan's popularity in his southeastern Wisconsin district.
Ryan was first elected in 1998 and this is his first re-election win since becoming speaker last fall.

Trump endorsed Ryan, so it can’t be all that bad.

Ryan and Cruz,WI sure knows how to pick em
To: Lopeover
Where’s the backlash against the establishment? Did I miss it in any of the past few weeks’ votes?
I read last week that a pro Trumper wins and people tell me the guy is a GOPe weasel.
What’s going on here.
BTW, bet 500 Ryan stabs Trump in the back.

Trump endorsed Ryan, and thereby lost nothing.
Had he endorsed his opposition, and lost, the media would also claim that Trump was being rejected.
To: Kevin C
Too bad. Maybe he can knocked off in the General.

If you live in WI CD1 and don’t like the job Ryan has done, then you have a right to be disappointed.
But if you’re upset because as Speaker, Ryan has greater influence, then take that up with the 236 Repbulicans who voted him into that job. The voters of Congressional District 1 had nothing to do with it.
