Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have endorsed each other. But they and their supporters often seem like rivals.

Paul Nehlen’s primary challenge against Ryan was almost entirely driven by conservative pundits who support Trump, with columnist Ann Coulter making a trip to campaign for Nehlen even after the New York businessman belatedly threw his weight behind the speaker. It wasn’t sufficiently driven by Wisconsin Republicans, however, which is why he lost by 70 points.
