Tonight during Senator Clinton's nationally televised speech from Youngstown, Ohio the senator made sure folks knew she was happy Congressman Tim Ryan (OH-17) was attending her speech. In fact, she timed it just right so she was saying "TIM RYAN" as her speech began national broadcast.
THANK YOU CONGRESSMAN TIM RYAN FOR BEING HERE!!!!!
You know, something to that effect. And you know, if I didn't know better, I'd think Congressman Ryan had endorsed her - which he has not.
Well, guess I wasn't the only one that got that impression, as my email box started to fill up with questions about Congressman Ryan. Checking in quickly with Tim Ryan's office this evening, I was informed the Congressman has not endorsed and he is very much on the fence. Funny how Clinton was able to give the impression otherwise. FUNNY.
Oh, and the Ryan office informed me that I was not the only person they were talking to about the endorsement bruhaha.
So as always, thank you Senator Clinton for staying above the bar, not trying to manipulate anyone, not leading anyone on, etc., etc.
