Today is the long-awaited primary election where Paul Ryan (incumbent) faces non-politician and businessman, Paul Nehlen.
I’m pulling for Nehlen.

I’m sorry lovely. Sad day for the country, but especially Wisconsin. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

Thanks Sand&Sea. Stupid people. Ryan is going to be even more smug, if that is even possible.

Sorry Lovely, I hoped and I prayed, but I was afraid this would happen. It’s rare that voters don’t think, “throw them all out, except my congresscritter.”

Thanks Michelle, me too I knew it was a long shot, Nehlen’s empty headquarters in Muskego, the polling numbers, the people in WI in general 😏. Oh well it is what it is.
Hopefully Trump wins the election and puts his boot on Ryan’s neck.

Yes, he will probably see it as a rubber stamp of approval for his agenda. 😦

Actually, that turned out pretty much as I expected. I did think that Nehlen would pull a few more votes, but I did not for a minute think he would beat Ryan. Name recognition is the key.

Can Nehlen run in the general as an independent?

Nehlen, an unknown candidate versus Ryan, a high-ranking (Speaker of the House) incumbent in his own backyard who had the advantage of backing by the state party apparatus, a complicit media, crossover votes from Democrats, and potential fraud. Apparently Nehlen’s association with Wisconsin was tenuous and his business history there was sketchy, too.
Essentially this was a local election, despite parallels drawn to the national race. But Ryan stated that TPP is not being brought forward under Obama — and he said this right before Trump’s endorsement. So we can be thankful that Trump negotiated that from Ryan as a condition for party unity (I am assuming this is what happened).
I saw elsewhere (Twitter, I believe) that the number of votes in this GOP primaries this year were vastly more than the Dem primary. This indicates (1) high crossover probability of Dems, (2) more interest in general of GOP than Dem supporters.
Lose the battle; win the war.
