Ryan’s reality is that he is in a real fight just to remain a member of congress. To that end he needs to broker any kind of deal with Trump. Even though he has said it is Trump who needs to unify the party, he and his cronies are the ones primarily responsible for the present disarray.
I believe his agenda is even more self serving than you might suspect given the tightness of the race in which he presently finds himself.
The logical conclusion to me, given that he thinks Trump bears the burden of unifying the party, is that Ryan/GOPe want to sway Trump’s VP pick. In that vein, it only makes sense that he wants Trump to choose Cruz as his running mate. By doing so, not only can he can take credit for a concession from Trump, he will also be able to tell voters in Wisconsin he got the VP nomination for the presidential candidate who won the Wisconsin primary.
Hmmmm! Am I crazy?
Post 20 YES!
