Less than a week after House Speaker Paul Ryan went after Republican front-runner Donald Trump for failing to disavow David Duke and the KKK, the former vice presidential nominee has spoken over the phone with the controversial candidate about developing a Republican agenda.

And in addition to Trump, Ryan, R-Wis., has also spoken to Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, "to explain House Republicans' plan to present a bold conservative policy agenda this year," the speaker's press secretary, AshLee Strong, told NBC News Monday.

Speaker Ryan also plans to have similar calls with Republican presidential candidates Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich, she said....

They had to add the Kasich and Rubio thing as a sop to their supporters. Probably never happen. They know the two that remain in the hunt.

Hopefully Cruz and Trump high-fived before telling Ryan that the best first step in a conservative agenda is to dump him as speaker

No, quite the contrary. This is Ryan asserting his agenda and “leadership” over the nominees. It’s prelude to his convention move to replace the legitimate nominee.

I know this is an unpopular thing to say around here, but unless a candidate gets the delegates to win the nomination, then they aren’t the legitament nominee. It’s the rules and everybody plays by the same set. Trump or Cruz have to get the majority or a brokered convention will happen and there is nothing unfair about it. We should leave Trump and Cruz alone and concentrate on getting the big losers Rubio and Kasich out of there.

Suggesting that Trump would pimp out his wife to Paul Ryan is not only a foul and disgusting thing to post, it also reveals the depravity of your own mind, a mind that is in dire need of a clean up.

I agree.
Trump is running as the moderate conservative an Cruz as the hard conservative. The others are RINO’s and should be drubbed out

I realized that FRiend, and I agree - I would have hit abuse (as I did) if the post in question had been made regarding the wife or daughter of Cruz, Rubio or Kasich. That sore of foul comment one would expect from someone over at the DU, but not here.

Trump is the only legitimate canidate. Romney, Ryan, and the remaining nominees are part of the GOPe stratgy to deny Trump the nomination through dilution of his delegates.Cruz and the rest subscribe to Romneys plan as they did not denouce it.
