quotes from article:
“…marked by brief moments of hope that Mr. Trump could be controlled, followed by the sinking realization that he could not.”
Controlled by whom? Ryan got elected by a few votes form a small district. Trump got nominated because of millions of votes nationwide. Ryan is overrunning his headlights.
“Trump really wasn’t on Paul’s radar screen,” said A. Mark Neuman, a Ryan friend
Ryan is not on the nation’s radar screen.
“If we try to play our own version of identity politics and try to fuel ourselves based on darker emotions, that’s not productive,” [Ryan] said.
In other words, placing America first is a dark emotion for this Walter Mitty.
“Mr. Ryan had hoped that Mr. Trump would eventually embrace his plan.”
Ryan’s ego must be beyond comprehension. He evidently thinks the universe revolves around himself. It is up to him to embrace Trump’s plan. The nation is not voting on this twerp’s plans.
“With campaign rhetoric getting increasingly contentious, Mr. Ryan made the unusual choice of announcing that he was not ready to endorse Mr. Trump.”
Time and tide wait for no man. He knows what he can do with his freaking endorsement.
“In text messages and phone calls, Mr. Priebus tried to persuade Mr. Ryan — who was relishing his independence — to accept Mr. Trump”
But Trump is not permitted to relish his own independence. According to Ryan’s understanding, he can only relish and chase after Ryan’s approval.
“Ultimately, he chose not to withdraw his endorsement to keep Republicans motivated to vote...”
Now, we can all sleep peacefully. The Man has looked down and sort of smiled on us deplorables.
LOL, you mean surrender when it counts but act like a conservative if there is a meaningless show vote?
