Businessman Paul Nehlen to Challenge Paul Ryan In Primary

Wisconsin businessman Paul Nehlen announced Tuesday that he is the tea party-allied candidate who is challenging House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in the Republican primary, saying he’s “had it” with the speaker betraying conservatives.

Sources first confirmed to The Washington Times earlier this week that a wealthy businessman was mounting a primary challenge to Mr. Ryan in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, but Mr. Nehlen did not reveal his identity until now.

“Paul Ryan’s embrace of big government spending, his continued support of illegal immigration and imported workers, and his championing of the job-killing trade deal known as the Trans-Pacific Partnership betrays me, this district, and this nation,” he said.

Hire a guy who's resume consists of mostly 6 months to 2 years at each job? No thanks.

I hope he sends Paul Ryan to the sidelines. The Republican Party elite didn't listen when Eric Cantnor was sent packing and they're not listening to the voters right now. Paul Ryan is way too moderate for me.

10:53 is on the money with this one! Ryan RINO'ed the first time we needed him...and pretty much every time since!

As long as McConnell doesn't cave on the SCOTUS nomination, he's got a molecule of a chance to stick around - but he's already shown his true colors!
