GOP establishment lackey Paul Ryan, who is being challenged for his seat by Paul Nehlen, lied yesterday about Donald J. Trump. Ryan said previously he would support Donald Trump if he was the nominee.
However, yesterday Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan told Jake Tapper on CNN he was “not ready” to endorse Donald Trump.

Then Ryan said –
“I don’t want to underplay what he (Trump) accomplished. He needs to be congratulated for an enormous accomplishment for winning now a plurality of delegates and he’s on his way to winning a majority of delegates.”
As The Gateway Pundit notes this is a lie.
“Trump not only holds a plurality of delegates to date, he also holds a majority of delegates to date as well!
According to data at thegreenpapers.com Trump currently leads all candidates with 1057 delegates. There have only been 2029 delegates distributed to date. Based on this, Trump has not only won a plurality (more delegates than his competitors) but he has also won a majority of delegates from state caucuses and primaries to date with more than 52% of the delegates.
The rest of the candidates combined have only won a combined 916 delegates to date. There also have been another 56 delegates to date that are either not committed or unallocated. By winning more delegates than any one of his competitors trump has won a plurality. By winning more than 50% of the delegates Trump has won a majority.”
So many great endorsements yesterday, except for Paul Ryan! We must put America first and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Sen. Jeff Sessions, (R-AL), appeared on Lou Dobbs yesterday and explained why Paul Ryan’s decision to not yet support Trump is a big mistake. Dobb’s points out Ryan is breaking his word. Watch.
The Washington Examiner reports:
“I think this was a big mistake, I really do,” the Alabama Republican said on Fox News. “And I’m very surprised, frankly, since he’d indicated he’d support whoever the nominee was.”
“The speaker of the House is a big leader, an important figure in the Republican Party,” he added. “He calls on House members every day to stand with him and unity, and he needs to set a good example for Republicans.”
Ryan shocked political observers by saying he wasn’t ready to endorse Trump, and Trump followed by saying he is “not ready to support Speaker Ryan’s agenda.
Donald Trump’s response.
Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party. Wrong, I didn’t inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!Donald Trump responded with his own statement.
