Walker, Ryan will be gone when Trump visits

Oklahoma Republican Jim Bridenstine, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, tweeted on Wednesday that he will not support Ryan – presumably, for speaker in the next Congress – because of Ryan’s failure to defend Trump. Ron Johnson and Gov. Scott Walker are all skipping the Monday events in Green Bay and outside of Milwaukee. However, looking at polling performances of candidates in swing states, it may not even be completely necessary.

But in almost 45 minutes of remarks to college Republicans, the closest he came to mentioning Trump was in describing the presidential campaign’s tone and warning students away from behavior that sounded suspiciously like things that have characterized Trump’s now flagging campaign.

Trump spent a large part of his campaign speech in Ocala once again discussing the leak of some Democratic e-mails by WikiLeaks, along with the special prosecutor he would appoint to investigate the former secretary of state, as per his remark to that effect during the debate.

Trump has two campaign stops planned in Wisconsin on Monday, but it’s not clear who will be joining him there. But it may be harder for the candidate to regain the dwindling support of his fellow party officials.

Ryan’s Friday policy attacks on Clinton were in stark contrast to Trump, whose meandering personal attacks have included highlighting allegations of sexual misconduct against her husband, Bill Clinton.

Ryan told the crowd he wanted to take a break from the drama on TV and twitter.

“It’s up to Mr. Trump to address these allegations himself”, Johnson spokesman Brian Reisinger said in an email.

House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday outlined his case against the candidacy of Hillary Clinton – without mentioning Donald Trump a single time. In doing so, Ryan tried to reframe the narrative of the election, saying an ideological battle is raging between Republicans and Democrats, but is being drowned out by the tumultuous presidential election. The DCCC, whose primary job is to elect and reelect House Democrats, was touting a post-audiotape, “generic” survey that shows a Democrat holding at least a 7-percentage-point lead over a Republican in congressional races.

The state’s other highest-ranking Republican officeholder, Sen. Another constituent, Mike Havei, said of Ryan, “He shouldn’t have it both ways, but he’s looking to the future”.

Our very weak and ineffective leader, Paul Ryan, had a bad conference call where his members went wild at his disloyalty.

Trump’s latest public spat with establishment Republicans in the wake of what he called his “locker room banter” about groping women, for which he has since apologized, has taken center stage over the last 24 hours.

He urged his audience to forget about the buzz of the day, and what’s been said on Twitter “for the last 20 minutes, or the last five minutes”.

U.S. Rep. Bradley Byrne this week continues to attempt to clarify his support for a presidential candidate he has suggested should step aside, a seemingly conflicted position that landed him in the national media.
