Poll: Ryan barely hanging onto a 64-point lead in his district

Later today, Paul Ryan will meet with Donald Trump, a summit brokered by the GOP in order to help unite Republicans against Hillary Clinton. Ryan, who as Speaker of the House would normally serve as convention chair, expressed reservations about supporting Trump — and immediately became the target of threats of getting primaried. So far, though, the “Cantoring” of Paul Ryan looks like a bust:

    Paul Ryan has an overwhelming lead on GOP challenger Paul Nehlen, according to a new poll.

    The Remington Research Group found 78 percent of likely Republicans in the 1st CD backed Ryan, while 14 supported Paul Nehlen. The firm’s director wrote in an email it was the first survey the Kansas City, Mo., firm has done in the Ryan-Nehlen match up.

Must be the "Palin Effect" causing it to be so close now.

Why would any rational voter in his district vote the current Speaker out. The guy has enormous clout which can only be good for the people he represents. I don't think the argument that instead of having the number 1 guy representing us we are going to have the 435th guy resonates with the voters in his district :huh?:

That's how prominent Congressmen hold onto their positions, isn't it? Rise up in the hierarchy, and basically use that as a specter over anyone who dares challenge them.

Of course, it doesn't help that Paul Nehlen is a total amateur.

You bet'cha. It's slow to start, but sometime after the election it will get this race within 30 or 40 points.
