Less than a week after House Speaker Paul Ryan went after Republican front-runner Donald Trump for failing to disavow David Duke and the KKK, the former vice presidential nominee has spoken over the phone with the controversial candidate about developing a Republican agenda.
And in addition to Trump, Ryan, R-Wis., has also spoken to Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, "to explain House Republicans' plan to present a bold conservative policy agenda this year," the speaker's press secretary, AshLee Strong, told NBC News Monday.
Speaker Ryan also plans to have similar calls with Republican presidential candidates Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich, she said....

Yes. The two candidates that are least favored by the establishment. The people have won. Pretty good indication that a brokered convention is not wanted.
Trying to save his job. Traitor must be worried. HE needs to go also.
I wonder what the “bold conservative policy” will be, as opposed to 2015. Maybe they will slam their approval of Obama’s budget on his desk and stamp out the door.
Don’t kid yourself.
Ryan’s press secretary is the source for the article. She is also the source of the “bold conservative agenda” quote.
Also from the article:
“Ryan himself has garnered attention as the person who could possibly unite the party if the Republican nomination fight ends with a contested convention in July with a Super PAC named “Committee To Draft Speaker Ryan” attempting to gather one million signatures to “demonstrate to him that he would have the strong backing of the American people.””
No what’s incredibly and despicably worse is that the GOP establishment has JOINED the KKK meme and the “ show us your tax returns” meme right along with the democrats!
I can never again respect Ryan after he pulled his faux outrage card against Trump for not “ disavowing” racism.
He is a pathetic little stooge who wants to be Hillary’s lapdog and rubber stamp the rinodem agenda. As long as he gets the same pay and gets to keep the big office and spend weekends at home. At least he shaved his jihad beard.
After what Lyin’ Ryan and his GOPe colleagues in crime have done, I would consider that scumbag as an enemy to be fought, not some sort of partner. Any exchange with him would be like talking to the Russians or the Chinese.
Exacatickly.
Apparently many of our Republican “leaders” are so uninformed themselves that they don’t know the original KKK was a Democrat terrorist group from c. 1867 to 1880.
Here on the shore we call them pines hats
I just watched the Orlando rally (missed it earlier) and saw the violence. The media will have blood on their hands for misleading the LIVs about Trump and the KKK if anything should happen.
Neither Trump nor Cruz is establishment and both together total a landslide majority of delegates. If they are stripped of their delegates and replaced with an establishment pick, ‘fairness’ will be trashed and violence will ensue. Should those delegates be coerced to flip, the voters will have their heads.
That is why they are going to promote a clearly unacceptable candidate first, maybe Romney. Then when pitchfork sales start to rise sharply, they will hand us the “more acceptable” one: Ryan. Most dummies will be relieved, since they don’t know the real Paul Ryan like we do.
Act II: Hail to the Chief plays while Ryan continues the Obama/NWO agenda.
The ‘Bold Conservative’ Agenda does NOT include losing debates to Joe Biden and rolling over and showing your tummy to Barack Obama.
Please.... Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining...!
I did the same thing to someone who made a extremely vulgar post to me purely because I support Trump for the nomination. Sadly its seems FR is as divided as the nation.
Ryan figured out... if you can’t beat’em, suck up to them.
Who is Ryan kidding. Just looking for info against Trump. He already publicly accused Trump guilty on the KKK cr**.
Time will resolve the Rubio Kaasich problem
Trump and Cruz must reach an agreement to resolve what the winner will provide the No 2. In spite of the fact he is disliked, Ryan is.
A consolidated position going forward will provide appeal to voters and assure down ticket wins.
The position established need only include three or 4 solid points to be pressed home. Total agreement need not be attempted
My guess is a lot of show votes then a last second deal because they are out of time.
