House Speaker Paul Ryan opened the door Monday to stepping down as Republican convention chairman if asked by presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump, whom Ryan has declined to endorse.
Ryan first made the comments during a meeting with Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporters.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Christian Schneider tweeted: “.@SpeakerRyan on whether he'd step down as convention chair if Trump asks: I'll do whatever he asks me to do.”
Asked about the reported comments, a spokeswoman for Ryan confirmed to Fox News: “That is his position, yes.”

He feels the heat of his primary competition. He is working to try and save that, first and foremost.
Fear not. If he were to win the primary day, he’d be right back at the forefront, trying to cripple Trump.
Effing dirtbag.
Sounds like he is falling in line. Trump should make him wear his Red cap whenever he is out in public.
Trump should just go ahead and say, “Bye...”
Well well,look who’s kissing ass now that he has primary trouble.
Ryan is a turncoat. Out! Out! Out!
Paul Nehlen will kick Paul RINO to the curb in August.
Darn Right!!Nice to see him sweating a bit.
The problem is that he took a weak stance that he wasn’t willing to follow through on. The cave is just the evidence that the previous decision was a poor one.
The bottom line is that Trump has popular support and Ryan may not even make it through his own primary. Paul Ryan, in the end, leads no one.
Sounds like someone took the little twerp aside....
Sounds like ‘The Art of The Deal’ is starting to work...
Take him out Trump, he only wants to be re-elected, promises the stars, moon and beyond and then lies, lies, lies...
Boy, is he dumb.....
Wishful thinking, keep trying. The people voted for HIM. It’s not for him to crawl to the ‘party’ that we’ve rejected, it’s up to them to come to US.
Paul Nelen will be on Laura Ingraham’s radio show this morning:

40% voted for him.
Has he even attempted to woo any of the 30%+ who voted for Cruz?
Do you care that he’s running towards all positions liberal?
Or are you selling your soul just to win an election?
Paul Ryan went on to say “I’m used to bending over and taking it... “
“I will even change my name to Phillip Mamouf-Wifarts if it helps me stay in office.”
Really? You're coming here with that?
He doesn't need to "unify the party"... he needs to run them out of town. "Unifying" the party is politics-speak for caving in to leftist interests... that's the last thing America wants or needs at this point.
