Speaker Paul Ryan told House Republicans Monday that he won’t campaign with, or defend, Donald Trump and he urged his members to “do what’s best for you” in the presidential race.
In a stinging rebuke to his party’s presidential nominee, the nation’s top elected Republican told fellow GOP members in a conference call that protecting the party’s House majority must be their priority going forward, multiple news agencies reported.
Ryan said he “won’t defend Trump” or otherwise campaign for him between now and Election Day, according to Politico.
He told Republicans in Congress to “do what’s best for you,” according to CNN.

Don't you get it, Paul Ryan? You are a media darling now because you are helping the Democrats. If you were ever to run for President, they will destroy you too. Look what they did to your "gentleman" running mate. They had him portrayed as a person who lives in his ivory tower, doesn't like the little people, who has binders full of women, and abused his dog. In fact, just like this election, there were people out there who called Romney a racist and compared Romney to Hitler. Granted, it wasn't as bad as the media this time, but they still did it. They mocked you as you sipped water as Joe Biden ran over you in the debate. If Trump loses and you manage to get the nomination in four years, guess what? All of the virtue signaling you are doing will be meaningless. You can be the best gentleman there is, but it won't make a darn bit of difference.
Paul Ryan seems to align more with Hillary on certain issues anyway. Honestly, would it be better to lose the seat to a Dem for 2 years, get rid of Ryan as Speaker, and then proceed to run a good conservative like Nehlen that can possibly take the seat back? If Hillary gets elected, he'll oppose her about as well as he does Obama. If Trump gets elected, he'll be a thorn in his side.
great point, he never did!! Also in the conference call today he said he is tired of defending Trump. He never did that also. LOL
This POS should be denied any money from the RNC and removed as Speaker. He’s a disgrace - even for a politician.
i believe they refer to this as addition by subtraction...
Vote for the other democrat in WI on Election Day.
Ryan’s a gutless coward that allows himself to be led around by the nose by the media. He’s scared to death of his own shadow, like most republicans. We want a fighter! We want TRUMP!!!
Paul Ryan greatly overestimates his own power and leadership
Wait.....wut? he never did.
PAUL RYAN’S Waterloo moment.
who wants him to?
“No longer? When did he ever?”
Bingo. Non story.
The media is trying to divide republicans. Now is not the time to bash Ryan. Don’t get played.
These little traitors of the Republic are messing their drawers big time...
Ryan’s irrelevant; a non-entity.
Beat it, chump.
Ryan should no longer be able to campaign
>>He told Republicans in Congress to “do what’s best for you,”
We elected these POSs to do what’s best for US.
Ryan turned out to be a real back stabbing chicken.
I hope Ryan loses to the Democrat in November.
I want him gone from the party asap. Today. Now.
If Trump wins, Ryan will step down as speaker. It would mean an adversarial relationship from day 1 which doesn’t help the country.
So, the question is, who should be speaker if Trump wins?
