Trump adds West Allis event for Wisconsin Swing

Just a few weeks shy of the November 8 presidential election, House Speaker Paul Ryan made a stop in Madison to address a group of College Republicans, making no mention of the Republican presidential nominee Friday.

Still, Ryan’s decision to focus exclusively on campaigning for Republicans running for the House and Senate sparked angry criticism from some members who felt the speaker should support Trump without conditions.

“We are at risk of losing the spirit and the initiative that makes America exceptional”, he said. “But that does not have to happen”.

Candelora, who has not endorsed Trump, said the billionaire businessman may help the state GOP.

“In elections, we do not just decide who our leaders will be”.

UW regent defends Trump after lewd remarksHouse Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Janesville, condemned the recent comments of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but many Wisconsin Republicans have not followed suit.

When asked if he thinks establishment Republicans, including Ryan, will support him as president if he’s elected, Trump said yes while speculating about the Speaker’s future. But the Los Angeles Times reports Republican and Democratic strategists and groups working there say they have yet to see much evidence of an operation to secure a victory for Donald Trump.

“I know some people are avoiding making any choice at all”, he said.

He focused on the House Republican agenda – and why a Clinton victory would damage Republican aims. Part of the peaceful transition of power that characterizes American elections is the fact that the losers concede that they lost and accept that the voters chose the other candidate.

Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong said the speaker is “fighting to ensure we hold a strong majority next Congress, and he is always working to earn the respect and support of his colleagues”. The real-estate magnate also said that the Republicans were coming at him “from all sides” and their disloyalty was harder to fight than the Democrats.

Meanwhile, Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway held a conference call Wednesday with House Republicans who back the GOP nominee.

Ryan also moved onto a different subject, releasing a statement criticizing aides to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton for hacked emails containing critical comments about Catholics.

Borges also noted in the letter that “the majority” of the Trump campaign’s OH staff are paid by the state party.

But others are angry at Ryan for, in their view, aiding the Democrats by so publicly abandoning Trump – and some have lashed out publicly.

In the past two presidential election seasons the Republican National Committee dropped tens of millions of dollars on advertisements to promote their candidate.

Speaker Ryan and Trump were supposed to appear together over the week in Ryan’s district, but it never happened.

Ryan referred repeatedly to “liberal progressivism” as a failed philosophy that “demands conformity and sameness” and has produced fewer jobs, unabated poverty, excessive regulations and an oversized government.
