House Speaker Paul Ryan told a room of Republican donors and elites in Park City, Utah last weekend that he endorsed Donald Trump to keep the Republican Party together.
That explanation implied that if the highest ranking Republican didn't support the top of the ticket and went against the legitimate winner of the primary electoral process that the Republican Party would limp forward as a divided party with no chance of electoral success. The Speaker suggested that he put party above personal preference for the sake of unity.
Just days later, party unity appears even more fragile.
Since wrapping up the GOP nomination, Trump has done little to ease the concerns of skeptical Republicans. He has ignored calls to change his tone, refocus his message on policy and ignore personal slights. Instead, he has doubled down on a controversial proposal to ban on Muslims entering the U.S., attacked the heritage of a federal judge and publicly insulted party leaders.

“Instead, he has doubled down on a controversial proposal to ban on Muslims entering the U.S...”
A proposal that 50% of Americans like.
Stupid, suicidal GOP.
True that
Trump keeps creating his own problems. The latest about thieves in Iraq is a disaster that will blossom over the next few days.
Unforced errors are his downfall.
Of course. I hear Trump is dropping out and becoming an imam. /s needed? These assclowns are really reaching.
“Party above preference.”
Lots of dictatorships come to mind.
Hope he's voted out this election.
I am so looking forward to a 100% change in leadership in the GOP!
Trump is going to win big in Novemeber, and the face of the GOP will change!
FRom passive to aggressive!
Ryan is working for Islam...the Saudi’s are making him rich just like they made the Clintons rich.
Screw Unity. We don’t need them.
You have no GUTS to stand behind the ONLY person willing to stand up to the TRAITORS in this country!
Boo hoo. Republicans are united. The Beltway is nervous.
Big difference.
It's my guess that our Democrat-operated media SO loathe, detest, abhor, hate and deplore Trump that they will have a campaign to end all campaigns to besmirch Trump.
It will be the "mother" of all smear-campaigns.
Yeah, they really want to have the Hilldebeeste in the WH.
The MSM loves Paul Ryan... he’s taken McCain place in trashing his fellow Republicans.
Soon the press will give him the title ‘maverick’... and invite him to A-list parties.
STFU Paul Ryan...
he’s playing both sides of the fence to cover his ass and has resolved himself to losing because the voters didn’t elect another winner like romney, McCain, Dole, etc.
You don’t seem to understand where we are as a nation and, more importantly, how we got here.
Either that or you’re part of the problem.
What is this thieves you are talking about?
