Ryan may be speaker now but Trump will be president in January.
....”Ryan may be speaker”....
Well that’s an elected office that position wise is above Trump’s current place-hold. Trumps basically declaring it’s not your party...it’s mine.
Thus this is why many along the way have stated that Trumps campaign has been all about a ‘hostile takeover’ of the Republican Party. Like in Corporate takeovers, that’s not attempted unless a company and it’s management is weak. Trumps applied the same principle .....only he’s run his 3rd party inside the Republican Party itself.
