Good. He's a proven liar on the topic, not a man of his word:

Paul Ryan: I will support Donald Trump if he wins Republican nomination - TODAY.com

Jan 2016:

"House Speaker Paul Ryan said that if controversial candidate Donald Trump wins the Republican presidential nomination, he will support him.

"Yes, I will. I'll support whoever our nominee is," Ryan told TODAY's Matt Lauer on Wednesday."


A politician lying again, not keeping their word? *gasp*

I didn't think Trump's campaign was dumb enough to want Palin around but it seems they do. Obviously she didn't do this out of the "goodness" of her heart. That quitter from Alaska cannot even express an idea coherently, I doubt she likes being interviewed. This was planned by Trump's campaign.

Behind the scenes Trump's campaign is probably looking for donors. It's all about money, it always is. Maybe the donors are not opening their wallets yet. Trump's campaign knows the cheapest way to get publicity is through controversy, Kardashian style. It would probably be more newsworthy if Trump chooses Palin as her VP instead of some unknown republican. Many Americans still don't even know who Kasich or Nikki Haley is.

What that says to me is that neither of the establishment candidates (Clinton-Kasich) did very well. So while Wisconsin may not throw someone out because of Trump they may be willing for other reasons.

Why does anyone care what the failed GOP VP candidate, who has no brains to bring to the table, thinks?

The fact that Trump keeps trotting out this bubble brain makes me think he really doesn't want the presidency. Even Trump has to know how the world cringes every time she opens her mouth and all of that word salad of ignorance and stupidity and outright nonsense spills out.

I don't think Paul Ryan should worry. Having Palin supporting any candidate is almost a guarantee for that candidate to not get elected.

Indeed. Ryan should be very worried. He did himself no favors this week.

Yeah but, Trump is a strategist, his message is very moderate on social issues and he wants to swing the conservative vote and knows that Palin is the Tea Party pin up girl. He doesn't mind using her, and she doesn't mind being used.

It has not been established that Trump had anything to do with Palin's decision to go to Wisconsin. In fact, Trump's spokesman made clear this morning that they are willing to work with Ryan.
