Ryan, Trump to Campaign Together for 1st Time

Speaker Paul Ryan and GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will stump together publicly on the campaign trail for the first time Saturday in Wisconsin, according to an announcement from Ryan's political operation.


Ryan and Trump will attend the annual “Fall Fest” in the speaker's 1st congressional district, alongside Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, several top Republican state officials and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who’s facing down a tough re-election this fall.



The show of Republican unity is a first on the campaign trail. Ryan has criticized Trump on several occasions for his comments about minorities and refusal to quickly disavow support from white supremacists. They also have stark policy differences, including on trade.


Trump's inclusion in the event was announced almost as an afterthought. After listing the other politicians attending, the release from Ryan's political team read, "Presidential nominee, Donald J. Trump will also join Wisconsin Republicans at the 1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest," adding, "All questions related to Mr. Trump should be directed to the Trump campaign."

Ryan withheld his endorsement from Trump before getting on board weeks later, and Trump did the same ahead of Ryan's August primary.


Lately, however, Ryan has praised Trump. The speaker was high on Trump's performance at the first debate, even as other Republicans said it was lacking.

Gov Scott Walker and Sen Ron Johnson.  Your point stands.

ETA: Johnson is widely expected to lose; last polling had his opponent (Feingold) +10.

Walker was on NPR this morning doing the whole "I'm going to back the nominee" schtick.

There's no way this helps him.

Ooof! Trump + Walker? WTF Paul Ryan? I realize this is your home district and you're safe but come on. You know the Dems are putting together a database on everyone who stood by / supported Trump. Why add any more ammo to the file?

Semi-related, but mpr had Scott Walker on the radio this morning to talk about the debate and what Dorito needs to do.

It was hilarious.

But actually, not that dire and no, I am not laughing.

Trump will also join Wisconsin Republicans at the 1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin Fall Fest," adding, "All questions related to Mr. Trump should be directed to the Trump campaign."

What a difference four years makes.

[jeaniebueller]

It sounds like he and PR will be at the event, but not ever appearing on the same stage or at the same time. LMAO. Does Trump realize how insulting this is? (probably not, right?)

I hated this movie, but I cannot help but like the perfect placement of your gif in this time of great despair.
Way to keep your chin up, son.

paulryansdignity is seriously ON FIRE with the GIF game.

If we don't find out who it is on Nov. 9, I'm going to break this board.

Paul Ryan's Dignity is putting out some of my hate fire for Paul Ryan. Hmm...lol.

It's putting out some of my hate fire but also just makes me laugh at him constantly.

[paulryansdignity]

Come over to the dark side, eclaires and bex. Its not so bad:



Or is it???

[RoxMonster]

Maybe here is a good place to say that a good friend of ours is "related" to Paul Ryan by marriage (his sibling is married to a Ryan--not Paul, though). He has met him a couple times but didn't have much to say. I think of him every time he gets mentioned here.
