Speaker Robin Vos: Welcome to Wisconsin Mr. Trump We are Ryan Republicans not Trump Republicans

Well, now that Trumpy has read the magic words at the Green bay WI rally, Speaker Vos (WI, Repugs) will be bowing to Trump and saying nice things.

Donald Trump is literally reading from a script as he endorses Paul Ryan, John McCain and Kelly Ayotte.

Trump says the magic words: "In our shared mission to make America great again I support and endorse our Speaker of the House Paul Ryan."

Open Letter to my Fellow Republicans


................................ As we watch the news today about the visit of the GOP Presidential nominee to Wisconsin, I have to ask myself, “am I proud of the GOP nominee lately?” The answer is so obvious it hurts. No. Actually, it’s even worse. I’m embarrassed that he’s leading our ticket.

...........................

As Donald Trump has said stupid things and been rude to so many people over the past year, I usually chalked it up to inexperience and the spotlight of an incredibly hostile press. But since the convention, his lack of judgement has got to concern even the most ardent Trump supporters.

...............................................

Welcome to Wisconsin, Mr. Trump, but let’s get something straight - we are Ryan Republicans here in Wisconsin, not Trump Republicans.

Show us you can be the leader our nation needs by admitting you made a mistake supporting a bigot like Paul Nehlen who said we should ban a religion. Show us you are a real leader by standing in Green Bay today and joining nearly everyone in the conservative movement in endorsing Paul Ryan. Conservatives in Wisconsin are watching and hoping you do the right thing.

LOL. I keep thinking of the Happy Days episode where Fonzie was unable to say he was wrong.
