He is in a relatively safe district, Speaker of the House, respects the separation of powers, (I guess only when it applies to republicans since he ignores what Obama does)
He has House members whose district didn't vote for Trump and he feels a need to give them some cover...
Yes, he quasi-endorsed Trump and the convention is months away...
He's not dumb and work with Trump to defeat Hillary...
He's got some leverage and he's using it...kissing Trumps ring would give away that leverage...
Not at all surprising...
It would be nice if he got fully on board the Trump train, but he has other priorities like protecting his members from down ticket issues..
It's politics 101
Popman this IS NOT about Ryan kissing Trumps ring this is MORE about the DAMNED budget that LYIN RYAN said was passed down to him when this BASTARD was the head of the budget committee and wrote the DAMNED BUDGET himself!!! Gave the damned DEMS EVERYTHING, didn’t even defund sanctuary cities and he has the audacity to say he has CONCERNS about Trumps true CONSERVATIVE values!!!! BS pure BS!!!
Nobody asked him to "kiss Trump's ring"; however, his arrogant, nasty attitude proves that he is just a damned CINO; as if we all didn't know that anyway.
He isn't in a "safe" district; Trump won it and did you HUGELY! And he is being primared. If I were you, I wouldn't bet on his re-election chances.
If Bush was the nominee would Ryan be so cautious?
The convention is only six weeks away.
