Johnson, Ryan share policy plans during campaign stop in Mosinee

Ryan successfully fended off Democrat Ryan Solen, Libertarian Jason Lebeck, and Spencer Zimmerman, an independent who was running under a “Trump Conservative” banner.

He can travel all around the world on government planes (sorry, Donald, you can’t paint your name on them), browbeat the IRS into dropping all audits of his own finances and those of his family, and he’ll have access to the highest government secrets.

Leadership elections in Congress are always hard to predict.

Republicans had feared that they would lose control of Congress with Donald Trump leading their ticket.

“I’ve spoken to just about everybody in a tough race in the last 48 hours”, Ryan said.

“Speaker Ryan was great”, Tom Schwartz, 71, told Breitbart News.

House Speaker Paul Ryan responded to news that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had again cleared Hillary Clinton by encouraging voters to cast their ballots on Election Day for Donald Trump. Instead, the House Speaker used TV commercials and a few personal appearances in his southern Wisconsin district to promote his agenda of lower taxes and firm foreign policy.

After each of those instances, Paul Ryan eventually warms back up to Trump – just to be humiliated by him again, as he was on Saturday. He reminded Ryan that he had said, earlier in the campaign, that he would no longer campaign for Trump or support his candidacy, even though he would still vote for him.

Both parties’ candidates and outside groups spent almost $1.1 billion combined on House campaigns, shy of the $1.2 billion record in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan research group. It’s simply impossible to say who will win the Speaker’s race at this point.

The 2012 vice presidential nominee, if returned to the speaker’s chair by House members, may have a smaller Republican majority to work with if voters elect fewer Republicans.
