So, what does businessman Paul Nehlen, who is running against Speaker of the House Paul Ryan in Wisconsin’s 1st congressional district, think of Donald Trump endorsing Ryan tonight?
CNN’s Jeremy Diamond reports:
Just interviewed @SpeakerRyan's primary opponent @pnehlen who attended Trump rally in Green Bay — where Trump endorsed Ryan /1

Nehlen applauded Trump's endorsement of @SpeakerRyan, his opponent: "Mr. Trump did this for party unity and I applaud him for that." /2

Finally, Nehlen says he's still supporting Trump. Calls endorsement "the mark of a true leader." Kind of still scratching my head… 3/3

Alrighty then.
The primary is on Tuesday with Ryan poised for a landslide victory:
GOP firm's poll of likely voters: "Ryan leads with 80% to 14% for Nehlen with 6% undecided." https://t.co/9bdUk0k1IU
