1. Donald Trump as succeeded in ripping the Republican Party apart.

2. Ryan is on CNN right now. He's obviously very uncomfortable

about Trump being their nominee. I think they're writing 2016 off.

3. Oh that asshat will in the end support Trump

He just likes to give the impression that he is more moderate and a deep thinker.

4. Exactly

5. My guess is they are pressuring Trump

to do things their way starting with picking the VP they choose.

10. Trump holds the cards, not the Republican leaders.

I think Trump would be smart to issue sharp words for Ryan.

6. Wonder if Ryan is worried about his own reelection with Trump at the top

My recollection is that he is hardly safe and may have a real fight on his hands this year.

7. Or perhaps

It's just a show so that they can all endorse DT later to try to boost him up at a more opportune time.

9. But if he were to offer Ryan the Veep, he might reconsider

11. Bullshit.

He will.

They all will.

As far as numbers and polls and everything else, this election will play out the same way that they always do.

They are even more full of shit than they normally are.

12. I think he's trying to pull Trump back from beast mode

13. The political universe responds to a Trump nomination.
