Trump attacks Ryan on Twitter ahead of Wis. rally

Donald Trump on Sunday attacked House Speaker Paul Ryan on Twitter, just a day before he’s scheduled to campaign in the Wisconsin Republican's home state of Wisconsin.

“The Democrats have a corrupt political machine pushing crooked Hillary Clinton. We have Paul Ryan, always fighting the Republican nominee!” Trump wrote.

“Paul Ryan, a man who doesn't know how to win (including failed run four years ago), must start focusing on the budget, military, vets etc.,” he added in another tweet.

3. Maybe Trump should start talking about "the budget, military, vets etc.”

Seems to me, all he he's capable of talking about is how mean people are to him.

8. Trump has a 0.10% chance of winning Wisconsin. Why go there?

NYT says 10%, so it might as well be P=0.0.

Most recent poll gives Clinton +7% and "Russ Feingold has a 79 percent chance to take over Ron Johnson's (R) Senate seat." That's actually an easy take back from Johnson who won in the off-year election before Walker inspired a blue swing.

it really doesn't make sense unless he's trying to prove some point to Paul Ryan? Show up where he's not wanted. Who knows...

10. Maybe try to prop up his good buddy Ron Johnson. Likely to do the opposite.

Johnson was channeling Trump during his debate with Feingold, so that could be it, try to help out one of his remaining Republican supporters. But it might not help one iota, rather just drag him down too.
