Paul Ryans primary opponent: Ill support Trump
When House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday he wasnt ready to support Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, his Wisconsin primary opponent saw an opening.
Following the Trump campaigns lash-out on Friday, Paul Nehlen seized that opening, suggesting he will do what Ryan won't: support Trump.
If Mr. Trump is the nominee, I will support that decision, because it will have been the will of the voters that got him there, the Republican challenging Ryan for Wisconsins 1st Congressional District seat in the states August primary said in a statement.

Sarah Palin will work to defeat Ryan in primary for Trump stance
Ryan's primary opponent, Paul Nehlen, endorsed Trump soon after Ryan's announcement last week. Palin told Tapper that although she hasn't yet informed Nehlen that she's endorsing him, "I will do whatever I can for Paul Nehlen."
Following incumbent Ryan's declaration of his stance on Trump, Sarah Palin told CNN that she would work to defeat Ryan in the GOP primary. She said of Ryan, "His political career is over but for a miracle because he has so disrespected the will of the people, and as the leader of the GOP, the convention, certainly he is to remain neutral, and for him to already come out and say who he will not support is not a wise decision of his." Palin went on to endorse Ryan's primary opponent Paul Nehlen. She said, "I will do whatever I can for Paul Nehlen. This man is a hard-working guy, so in touch with the people. Paul Ryan and his ilk, their problem is they have become so disconnected by the people whom they are elected to represent." Nehlen endorsed Trump shortly after Ryan announced that he would not support him.
