GOP CONVENTION | House Speaker Paul Ryan says vote for anyone but Trump is a vote for Clinton

CLEVELAND — Speaker of the House Paul Ryan compared the fight to capture the Republican Party’s presidential nomination to Big 10 college football.

“We fight each other in the conference,” said Ryan of Wisconsin, who is a Miami University graduate.

“But then when one of us goes to the Rose Bowl, we all root for each [other]. We do,” he added.

Ryan spoke today to the Ohio delegation to the Republican National Convention at the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel in Cleveland. He was warmly greeted by the delegation that gave him standing ovations when he was introduced and when he finished.

While Ryan preached unity in the party, it wasn’t until the second-to-last line of his 15-minute speech that he mentioned nominee Donald Trump.

“We’re all on the same team. We all want the same thing,” he said. “Voting for anybody but Donald Trump means you’re voting for Hillary Clinton. Let’s remember that.”
