I care what he thinks only because if Ryan is praising this pick, it makes me concerned. I’d prefer Trump bucked the establishment and picked someone Ryan didn’t like.
The pick was clearly a peace offering to the GOPe and a way to bind up the Party.
He also brings knowledge as to who to get things through legislation. Him along with Newt will prove to be invaluable.
He also gives people who might not have voted for Trump a reason to do so now, much like Palin with McCain.
