Not Long Ago, Paul Ryan Didn't Have A Problem With Trump As The Nominee

POLITICAL EARTHQUAKE

Now that earth has moved with the dropping out of Cruz and Kasich, Ryan isn't comfortable.

From Politico, dated April 27, 2016 (hat tip to Joe Conservative):

House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed any conflict between his detailed policy proposals and those pushed by Donald Trump on Wednesday, hours after the front-runner sewed up five more states and marched ever closer to locking up his party’s nomination....
Read the rest to see that Ryan expects any GOP nominee to come into line with the policies which Ryan — that is, the GOP establishment — supports.

Trump is scheduled to meet with Ryan next week. What is Ryan expecting to come out of that meeting?

I am personally STAGGERED by how deceived I was about about Mr. Ryan and what he really stood for.

His stances on the border, budget, and now this are revelatory. If not for Trump I would have believed this guy is for real.

Who is there who can even BE a leader of the republicans in the house?

Maybe there can be none, because the GOP is done.The factions in the party are irreconcilable

Ryan is just ONE MORE hack mouthing crap in his own personal club for growth.
