Facing a steep challenge as he prepares to meet with Republican leaders about uniting their splintering party, Donald J. Trump on Monday struck a more conciliatory tone about House Speaker Paul D. Ryan.
And Mr. Ryan appeared to reciprocate, saying he would step down from his position as chairman of the Republican National Convention in July if that is what the party’s presumptive nominee requests.

Excellent. It's definitely time for Republicans to unite behind Trump and focus on defeating Hillary and the Democrats.
Regardless, I STILL want Ryan primaried. Unequivocally.
Paul Ryan is about to find out that Trump isn’t just another establishment pussy.
I’d say the Times got it backwards....My guess is Ryan blinked...
Doesn’t matter. Paul RINO is being Cantored. This time next year he’ll be peddling influence on Wall Street instead of Washington.
We had high hopes when Ryan emerged on the scene years ago. What a disappointment he is..
Regardless, I STILL want Ryan primaried. Unequivocally.

Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Politicians haven’t a clue how to handle someone who is NOT another politician......
Ryan made a really big JV mistake, should not have allowed gas to be poured on the “disunity” story line.
He has two choices, save his career or not. I think we are now seeing the former.
I want him to dump Ryan. Ryan hates veterans.
Sky Pilot has the background on this one. Ryan is a living, breathing contradiction of one of Trump’s basic promises...to protect the vets.
I agree. Take what the NY Times writes, read into it the oposite of what they say...and you’ve got the truth.
“Paul Ryan is about to find out that Trump isn’t just another establishment pussy.”
You have that right.
Trump for President.
Yes, he is not striking his colors, he is just attempting to get out of the line of fire. He is what he is: RINO. This is total warfare now, once someone declares, they cannot go back...no Mulligans now. When you take out the biggest mouth in a fight, the others fall behind you or run away.
The Times studied Pravda...
After the USA won a dual track meet between the USA and the USSR, Pravda reported:
“USSR finishes SECOND!!!! USA next to last...”
They’re trying to get Trump to moderate his positions on trade and illegals. The media, Ryan, and the Never Trump GOP elites are masquerading it as getting Trump to become more conservative though. Don’t fall for this. It’s a total crock of crap.
Paul Ryan is a RINO. A RINO never changes its spots.
Ryan has joined Rubio, Bush and Cruz ruining their political careers fighting Trump unnecessarily. Hopefully Hillary Clinton will be next.
[I’d say the Times got it backwards....My guess is Ryan blinked..]
My guess is that Luca Brasi (Paul Manafort) gave Ryan an offer he couldn’t refuse...
Some of these establishment politicians are so darn smug!!
