Trump: Maybe Ryan doesn't want me to win so he can run in 2020

Eliza Collins , USA TODAY 11:20 a.m. EDT October 18, 2016

Donald Trump says Paul Ryan may be trying to harm his chances of being president in 2016 because Ryan wants to run for president in 2020.

In an interview that aired on Good Morning America Tuesday, the GOP nominee was asked whether he thought the speaker of the House was rooting for him to win in November.

"Well, maybe not, because maybe he wants to run in four years or maybe he doesn’t know how to win,” Trump said. "I mean, who can really know. But I know I’m in his territory and they are all screaming for Trump.”............

Paul Ryan has a vestige of humanity buried deep down and knows what an unmitigated disaster a Trump presidency would be.

The damage that Trump's done to Ryan with the teabag base has been done as he's been slandering him at his rallies for weeks now. Ryan needs to cut the ties so at least he can claim the high ground after Trump is massacred next month. As it is he just looks like a wet noodle, both unprincipled and disloyal at the same time.

18. Considering only governors and senators have made it to the WH*

my guess is that Ryan will challenge Tammy Baldwin for the Senate. He really needs to run for a statewide office. He's only 46. He has plenty of time.

*not counting Eisenhower
