Lets be politically and intellectually honest. At the scheduled meeting today between Donald Trump and Paul Ryan, Speaker Ryan needs Trump more than Nominee Trump needs Ryan.
A strong argument can be made Ryan set up last weeks media construct, including the call to Jake Tapper requesting a CNN interview, to retain his own relevance.
Against a growing electoral insurgency openly dismissing the Omnibus version of conservatism represented by Ryans’ inept and ineffective and self-centered leadership, Lyin’ Ryan could soon to be seated at the pouty table if he doesn’t seem important.
The pouty table is currently occupied by the dispatched professionally irrelevant members of congress (identified by their hashtag profiles). Hashtag Gnats sitting together with most current radio talk show hosts, and almost all of the beltway punditry and opinion writers. However, there’s still plenty of room for more.
According to most media reports, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, is facilitating the meeting between Donald Trump and Lyin’ Ryan around 9 a.m. at the RNC headquarters.
Mr. Trump then will meet with Ryan and top members of the Omnibus leadership team including: Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA), Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA), Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA) and Chief Deputy Whip Patrick McHenry (NC).
The Omnibus crew (without Mr. Trump) has a press conference scheduled for 11:30am after their meeting. Because, well, that’s what they do – talk.
At approximately 11:45 a.m, Mr. Trump will then visit with the upper chamber and meet with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) and the Senatorial Usurpation Team including: Majority Whip John Cornyn (TX), Conference Chairman John Thune (SD), Policy Chairman John Barrasso (WY) and Conference Vice Chairman Roy Blunt (MO), aka “The Shady Bunch“.
Mr. Trump was not nominated by the People
to go along with the criminal RYAN and his
band of stinking EXEMPT LIARS who hate American.
Ryan MUST GO. He shows ONLY that he follows Obama
and pi$$es right in the American Peoples’ face.
NO MORE Ryan.
Remove him from Speakership,
and then remove him by primary.
Ryan’s statements yesterday, in my estimation, setup what will be their narrative if Trump does not bend over and kiss their behinds. That narrative will be they wanted unity but Trump did not. I feel it in my bones because they have done the same to our votes and support over the last couple of decades. We’re the stupid ones.
He’s tied to Romney forever...
Trump is walking into a hostile environment and deserves the credit. If these kiss ass sell your vote to the highest bidder types don’t cut a deal with him, they will be gone for the most part. Trump really does not need them as he is a mere 109 delegates from 1237. So, each one of these lifers will be remembered when they are up for reelection if they make a stink. Ryan has been there for 16 years or so. He has never had a real job.
Came to this conclusion after seeing some very old videos of him testifying on economics before Congress and with an interview with Oprah and after watching many segments of the apprentice.
That's true. He does not come off as a polished speaker. I think it actually benefits him. He seems more like an ordinary citizen speaking in front of a crowd.
After the huge wins we have given the GOPe in the last few elections,
GOPer mookabookers like Ryan refused to stand up to the marxist magic negro.
Caved at every turn.
Well it is far past time RINO crappola like Ryan get Cantored.
Whole passel of em there too,
Like McLame, Graham, etc.
I’m cautiously optimistic! Go Trump! We love you!
Mitt Romney timed his attack the day before this... The two are probably still working together
I really think they *are.*

That’s why he draws 10,000 + (and more on the ‘net) to his rallies.
He’s the real deal.
VOTE TRUMP!!!
Ryan is one big ass mistake! Good job debating slow Joe last time...what a bad joke Ryan is! Pathetic weasel. And those are his good points!
What a load of balderdasicious crap.
To make the statement indicates gross ignorance on your part. To make such a statement means total lack of understanding of what is taking place.
It means that you have been severely duped by the Obama regime into believing that one man controls the government.
Paul Ryan will propose to Trump that he pass another round of cuts to veterans, especially disabled veterans like he did during the 2013 Budget deal with Sen Murray. This might save another $6 billion over 10 years. But in exchange Ryan will propose spending an additional $1 Trillion on Illegal Invaders.
