All day FOX had on 'alerts' that Ryan was in 'contest of his life,' and 'close race' and such. Pretty funny, even their 'news' programs were 'Ryan in first primary challenge, win won't be as big as expected.' I guess they meant if there was no challenger?

...

At 10:15 p.m. ET, with 66 percent of precincts reporting, Ryan was leading Nehlen 84 percent to 16 percent, according to The Associated Press.


The intraparty drama echoed GOP splits that marked the presidential primary season and gave further evidence that party unity remains elusive just three months ahead of the general election. Like Trump, Nehlen sought to attack the establishment, something Ryan, as the highest ranking elected Republican, is the highest symbol of.

Dang, that's not what was being reported!! He annihilated him! I know I 'heard' that all was close and what not - but where there any actual polls calling this as a close race? Ryan crushed him.
