House Speaker Paul Ryan said today he's looking forward to a "straight conversation" with Donald Trump about the state of the Republican Party and the 2016 presidential race when the two meet on Capitol Hill Thursday, after expressing reluctance about endorsing Trump's White House bid.

"We have right now a disunified Republican Party. We shouldn't sweep it under the rug without addressing it," Ryan, R-Wis., said in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel today. "That would be to our detriment in the fall."

Ryan is a loser. He will be treated as such. We dont listen to losers. Losers need to be quiet and do as they are told.

Trump needs to school the lad in life’s realities and the concept of pragmatism. Ryan is a prime example of the GOPe lacking the ability for any kind of self-examination to figure out how badly they failed. Their failures set the table for the rise of Trump. Introspection is absent in their strategic thinking.

The sad truth is when these guys lose their elected jobs, they move on to low 7 figure lobbying salaries in DC.

The GOP wants to blame the voters and Trump, never is them.

“We have right now a disunified Republican Party. We shouldn’t sweep it under the rug without addressing it,”
++++++++++++++++++

“Mr. Trump has to understand that we’ve already sold our souls to the Cheap Labor Express and the invasion has been planned for decades.”

Ryan is way over his head. He should cave now and then should keep his mouth shut and his head down for the rest of the year.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, unlike Ryan, has endorsed his party's presumptive presidential nominee. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., also said he plans to support his party's nominee.

Is McConnell up for reelection this year? I thought he was good for two or four mor years.

If Trump wants to sweep the field, including Hillary, before the Republican convention, let him release his list of upcoming Supreme Court nominees, and let him put Cruz at the top of the list.

Ryan thinks he’s in charge.

He still hasn’t figured out he’s been Cantored.

The Art of the Deal addresses this issue. Maybe Ryan has read it. Probably not.

Well, Ryan has to show he’s doing SOMETHING to justify his existence to the bosses who put him where he is. Right now he seems like a little toy poodle yapping at the big German Shepard.
