Ryan and like-minded establishment Republicans have struggled to reconcile their desire to unify the party in advance of a tough fight against Democrat Hillary Clinton while at the same time separating themselves from some of the positions and rhetoric of Trump, who defeated 16 rivals to win the presidential nomination
Ryan said "the smarter way to go" would be to have a "security test" for Middle Eastern immigrants to ensure proper security screening. He noted that the House passed legislation to tighten visa restrictions that President Barack Obama signed into law, but that the Senate had blocked another measure that would provide greater security screening
"This is a war with radical Islam. It's not a war with Islam. Muslims are our partners," Ryan said. "The vast, vast majority of Muslims in this country and around the world are moderate, they're peaceful, they're tolerant. So they are among our best allies, among our best resources, in this fight against radical Islamic terrorism."
Trump has been resolute in demanding tighter immigration policies. The massacre of 49 people at the nightclub by gunman Omar Mateen, 29, whose parents were born in Afghanistan, has prompted the Republican candidate to intensify his rhetoric as he tries to garner support from Americans with deep security fears.
Trump noted that Mateen's parents were born in Afghanistan. Pointing to specific incidents such as the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, he said threats were posed by people with roots in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Somalia.

Pussy!
I hope he distances himself all the way back to Wisconsin and stays there.
Of course, he stands with the muslims too. Hes a uniparty rino who has done zero for eight years to stop Obama.
It's as though the dnc and the muslim brotherhood had taken all the families of the Republican capons in Congress as hostages.
The constant silence for the last 6 years and total approval and funding of every thing this POS muslim pecker puffer wanted, told me we'll be lucky to escape with an uneventful transition.
Trump has two tasks when he gets to Washington. Deport 60 million illegals let into the country during the Indonesian ass pirate's reign and hold Nuremberg style trials to purge all the traitors that infest D.C.
“Ryan is the GOP candidate in 2020”
LMAO. If that was the plan, Ryan would have endorsed Trump already.
He won’t get past the primaries by pissing off the base on a daily basis.
Ryan probably has no chance anyway. He is like Jeb, minus the Bush loyalists.
Trump is where the Republican party is. By moving away from Trump, Ryan and the others move away from the party they purport to represent. I suppose this fact is lost on them.
Corportists like Ryan don’t want Trump & his voters in the GOP. It’s that simple. He’d rather lose without us than govern in a patriotic manner.
These are the “Republicans” who will elect Hillary Clinton..they are traitors, absolute TRAITORS to our country
Yep. To quote Savage: They are Vermin.
Obama disgraced himself today and Ryan’s reaction was to attack Trump for protecting America. We are finished.
Quoted for truth. Well said, FRiend.
You have Mitt Romney going on TV and saying if Trump becomes President you will have racism in the White House..the Democrats dont have to spend a penny on attack ads against Trump when you have Republicans giving it all to them for FREE..this country is done..I hate the Republican traitors MUCH MORE than the Democrat ones..at least with Democrats you know how they despise America, apparently there are some Republicans who hate America too
The GOPe is up to their eyeballs in complicity with the demokkkrats injecting muslims into American government and society.
I'm beginning to think there is a strong possibility that Paul Ryno is a closet muzzie.
Good...true colors showing
Trump cannot win while being stabbed in the back by his own party. I’m watching America being destroyed by these people. Meaning by the republicans, the media and of course the absurdly leftist democrats.
We’ve been fired by the GOP. They don’t want Trump and his millions of voters in the party. So be it. Molon labe.
Ryan is a runt and needs to be kicked out of office. He is worse than Boener
good provision and I have no doubt the RINOs in the house and senate wouldn’t pass that bill if it meant their asses were on the line of these illegals/refugees decided to go jihad in the US.
It’s the plan. Didn’t say it would be a successful plan. But it’s the plan. BTW, if Trump wins the Presidency, it will be a miracle.
Somebody please......Ryan

Ryan is a beltway lifer. Totally delusional and detached for the reality of fly over country.
But I’m sure his ego is big enough to run for POTUS. I can’t imagine him trying to campaign in conservative areas after stabbing us in the back and enabling Hillary.
Can someone point out one of these Muslim “partners” we are supposed to have? ‘Cause I haven’t heard of one.
“Ryan said “the smarter way to go” would be to have a “security test” for Middle Eastern immigrants to ensure proper security screening.”
He knows that there are no reliable data bases to access in vetting these animals.
We don’t even know where our own president was born for crying out loud!
