Paul Ryan easily wins GOP primary
- 8 years ago
Paul Ryan easily fended off a challenge in his primary race Tuesday against recent Wisconsin transplant Paul Nehlen, who contested the House Speaker with the same positions and talking points espoused by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"There is a lot of anger that Washington just isn't working," Paul Ryan said in his victory speech.
"In times as uncertain as these, it is easy to resort to division.
It's simple to prey on people's fears.
That stuff sells, but it doesn't stick.
It doesn't last.
Most of all, it doesn't work."
He added: "We can't afford another four years like the Obama years, and let it be very, very clear, that is exactly what Hillary Clinton and her party are offering."
