this election, if paul ryan isn t for trump, then i m not for paul ryan. he s still endorsing trump. he s saying i m endorsing him. i won t campaign for him. he s endorsing him. let s get it straight. he s endorsing him. he s for him for president. he s not going to campaign for him. there are a lot of democrats who loathe hillary clinton and can t believe they re going to have to vote for her. you know what they re going to do? they re going to vote for her. they re not going to do anything else. they re not going to admit to their friends they re voting for hillary clinton. it s not such a strange phenomenon what paul ryan is doing this year. why have the endorsement? i don t get the endorsement part of it. because he s speaker. internal politics? yeah. he s speaker. if he doesn t endorse, if he withdraws the endorsement, he leaves a lot of members high and dry. what does he do that s the politics of it.
some are questioning whether ryan should continue to lead. one conservative congressman who backed ryan for speaker last year tweeted, given the stakes of this election, if paul ryan isn t for trump, then i m not for paul ryan. ryan released a video in which he talked about conservative principles. i get a lot of young people asking me why should i choose the republican party or conservatism. conservatism means we want to conserve what is good, what is great. we want to the conserve those great principles. liberty, freedom, enterprise. it s hopeful and inclusive because it applies equally to everybody. meanwhile, trump went a step further yesterday by calling out ryan by name at his rally, suggesting republican leaders had made a secret sinister deal. already the republican nominee has a massive, a massive
won t defend trump in the vulgar video of the businessman talking crudely about woman and ryan saying he ll only worry about saving the congressional republican majority. some are telling him stand by the nominee for you may face consequences. one threatened to withdraw his support if the house speaker won t fall in line behind trump. he said this in a tweet today. given the stakes of this election if paul ryan isn t for trump then i am not for paul ryan. now, ryan is still endorsing trump but is essentially abandoning the republican nominee. that s why he s angered some members of his conference, jim, ahead of november. the reason why brydenstine is important is because he voted for the speaker in the last election when paul ryan ran for speaker. this will be a narrow republican majority in the house next year, if the republicans hang on. that means he can t afford many defections. if he loses more people, it
oklahoma. i ll read you a tweet of his today that he put out saying given the stakes of this election, if paul ryan isn t for trump, then i m not for paul ryan. and why is this significant is that mr. brandenstein voted for paul ryan in 2015 when ryan ran for the speakership. so if paul ryan wants to be speaker, he needs to limit defections on the house floor and if people like jthis senato are angry, it will make it hard. paul ryan is still endorsing donald trump. he just said he won t campaign or defend him. clearly a lot of republicans and conservatives who believe that position that ryan is taking is making it harder for them to
and i m wondering, when you hear trump as he should be with his strategy hammering these e-mails, will it work? does the undecided voter hear e-mail and think liar or do they decipher the truth? i think undecided voters at this point some of those folks are low information voters and they probably won t vote and then the others are probably equally disgusted by both sides and they have to decide on election day who they want to vote for. but i don t think he s going for those undecided voters, normally if you have a big wikileaks, you would have the rnc backing that up, you would have officials, republican party officials fanning out and underscoring that message but that isn t donald trump and that isn t
