Speaker Paul Ryan and Donald Trump dialed back their rhetoric Monday after a weekend of sniping between the nation’s highest-ranking elected Republican and the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.
But the bad blood — and stark policy differences — between the two GOP heavyweights left some observers questioning whether Ryan (Wis.) ever will find it in himself to back Trump before the November election.
Ryan’s and Trump’s efforts to strike a more conciliatory tone come ahead of their high-stakes huddle Thursday at Republican National Committee (RNC) headquarters, in the shadow of the Capitol. While they’ve briefly met once before, Thursday’s gathering represents the first formal sit-down between two men who don’t really know or trust each other.
In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Monday, Ryan lamented the fact that he doesn’t know Trump very well and suggested an endorsement might still be in the cards.
“I never said never,” the Speaker said.
He also poured cold water on the possibility of a conservative candidate launching a third-party bid, warning it would be “disastrous for our party.”
And he offered to resign as chairman of the Republican National Convention if that were Trump’s desire.
“He’s the nominee. I’ll do whatever he wants,” Ryan said in an interview with the Wisconsin newspaper.

Policy differences...
Ryan would get a lot more sympathy from me, if his policies were to the Right of Trump’s policies.
He IS losing his SEAT, HE IS WAY BEHIND in the polls, !!!!
He aimed for magnanimity but he was knocked back on his heals from the criticism.
Dump..........Ryan
He’s a huge disappointment and a punk to boot.
Would love to see him lose.....what a message that would send.
Ryan, the Serpentine 0bama Enabler, still needs to be Cantorized.
“...whether Ryan (Wis.) ever will find it in himself to back Trump...”
ROFL.....
The “whether” questions actually are if Trump will allow Ryan to sit down when they meet...
Will Trump allow Ryan to continue in his current position with the GOPe...
Rino is as Rino does.
Sound more like politicking to me. I’d say he’s hoping to wheel and deal for a Trump card to save his re-election. At this point, I don’t trust P. Ryan.
Donald Trump is the ultimate alpha-male. We haven't had a GOP nominee like this since Reagan. In the end, the GOPe's will tuck their tails or roll over on their backs like the good little beta's they are and will back President Trump.
Time to throw this loser under the omnibus.

He caved?
Nah..!
Most prudent simply to GET RID OF HIM.
We need to Kantor him.
He needs to GO AWAY.

OMG bray Under the omnibus, would be worse than under just a BUS!!! that would squish him worse than a VERY FLAT BUG!!!!!
Your seeing “The Art of The Deal” being played out...Trump is going to be okay with this jerk...he will either bend to Trump or he will be gone...Jerk’s choice...
