Paul Ryan booed at hometown Trump rally

Speaker Paul Ryan received a mixed reception Tuesday at a Donald Trump rally in Wisconsin, when the GOP frontrunner mentioned his name.

"How do you like Paul Ryan? You like him?" Trump asked the crowd in Ryan's home of Janesville, Wis.

While some in the crowd cheered, a hearty boo took over the room.

"I was told to be nice to Paul Ryan. He's the speaker, he's a nice guy, he called me the other day, he was very nice …”

Surprised at the audience reaction, Trump asked the supporters whether they were Republicans and conservative. To both, the crowd cheered.

They were partners in "Zapata Airlines" or something like that.

When they were both younger.

From all I've been reading, the righties think that Ryan is a sellout who always gives in to President Obama. They don't think he is extreme enough.
