Trump Praises Ryan's Primary Challenger

Donald Trump probably doesn’t have any idea who Paul Nehlen is because the other option is even worse to contemplate. Trump gave a twitter boost to Nehlen thanking him for his words of support for Trump in his running battle with Khizr Khan and his stance on immigration. The problem for Trump is that Paul Nehlen is a Tea Party Republican who is challenging Paul Ryan in the GOP primary in Wisconsin. Whether knowingly or not, having the Presidential candidate express support for the primary challenger of the Speaker of the House from his own party is probably unprecedented in modern American history. It is yet another barrier in the norms of governance that Trump and GOP have managed to shatter. And you just have to wonder how long Ryan will denounce Trump’s words and actions while still supporting him after something like this.
