My guess is you are wrong and MONUMENTALLY wrong at that.
Republicans are swinging behind Trump at this point and not away from him.No NEW voices have been added to the anti Trump Repubs but some have left the group entirely while others while not actually endorsing Trump at this time have not said they would not. These spineless bastards say they “are not yet ready” to endorse him. This is spineless pol talk for, “I want to see how the wind blows before I take a firm position”
This ridiculous (non) controversy is a massively media ginned up nothing burger. There are, in fact far more disaffected voters on the Left than the Right.
I hope you're right.
But Ryan is not stupid, in spite of all evidence to the contrary. It is hurting him to oppose Trump. That means he has a reason for his opposition that justifies what it is costing him.
My prediction about today: Both sides will present themselves as reasonable people seeking to work things out. That's practically a given.
BUT, the tell:
Ryan will not endorse Trump.
Ryan has become the face of the anti-Trump movement. I don't expect him to endorse Trump until the behind the scenes attempt to mount a credible 3rd party run has failed.
