Meet Paul Nehlen – Your Friendly Neighborhood “Paul Ryan Exterminator”

Paul Nehlen, the man working to dethrone Speaker Paul Ryan, personifies that classic “midwestern charm.” He’s polite, laid back, and extremely personable.

He’s brilliant, but not in a pretentious way. His brilliance comes through almost effortlessly as he rattles off theories, quotes, and favorite book passages, all with ease – and all in that thick Wisconsin accent of his which coats his words like melted…..

Nah, that’s too cheesy.

As Mr. Nehlen and I comfortably settled into our second interview together – it struck me – Paul Nehlen is the man who Paul Ryan pretends to be – a hometown hero untarnished by the perversion of DC.

Paul Nehlen is the real deal. 

Hi, Paul, thank you for chatting with me again. So, let’s keep it light and fun – I have some kitschy questions for you, you game?

Go for it!

What TV shows are you into?

I’m not much of a TV watcher, but I like Diners, Drive-in’s & Dives

Tom Petty, NEEDTOBREATHE, and Stevie Ray Vaughn.

In that order?

What do you think of tribal tattoos?

Honestly, I’m open to whatever tattoos people have, I’m more curious about the meaning behind it. Ya know – like what drove them to choose that particular tattoo.

You’re waiting for your next appointment, what are you doing on your phone?

Texting, reading articles – I love to read, and social media.

You walk into a mall, what’s the first store you head to?

Gander Mountain or any sporting goods store.

When you win the election where will you go to celebrate?

Honestly, I’ll probably just grill out, but if I could pick one place, it’d be Duck Inn.

I’m gonna say something, you tell me the first thing that comes to mind. Ready?

Lay it on me!

“Velour tracksuits.” 

What? Ha ha, Hmmm, I’d say a retired mobster like Tony Soprano. 

If you were a rapper, what would your rap name be?

My team actually gave me one, P-Neely.

Dogs or cats?

I like them both, but I’m a dog person.

AC/DC or Poison?

AC/DC.

Prince or Michael Jackson?

Prince.

It’s late at night and you’re on Amazon. What are you browsing?

Books, books, and more books. I’m an avid reader.

Vans or Converse?

Converse. I would never wear Vans.

Ha ha. OK, cowboy boots or sneakers?

Better! That’s easy, cowboy boots.

Superman or Batman?

I have a better one – Ironman or Batman?

OK, tell me, which one?

Ironman because he has a badass sidekick, Pepper Potts.

Game of Thrones or Lord of The Rings?

Is this a trick question? I think I’m speaking to a Game of Thrones Fan. I will say, “Game of Thrones.”

Good answer! If you had to live in another country, where would you go?

Poland.

Interesting, why?

Polish people are amazing.

What’s your favorite charity?

Operation Homefront. They do amazing work for families of our active duty service members.

Last question, you ready?

Hit me.

If you had this to do all over again, would you still run against Speaker Ryan?

Without question, yes. This country needs leadership. Paul Ryan is not a leader, he’s a puppet on a string.
