No surprise. Ryan just caved to the talking yam

Paul Ryan and Donald Trump pledged to work together Thursday to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the fall general election, though the Republican House speaker again stopped short of formally endorsing his party's imminent presidential nominee.

"The United States cannot afford another four years of the Obama White House, which is what Hillary Clinton represents," Ryan and Trump said in a joint statement after their private meeting on Thursday. "That is why it’s critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda, and do all we can to win this fall."

Blah, blah, blah and more blah at link.

Why no follow up about the make up of these voters: bigots, white supremacists, violent bullies, misogonists... They don't care who is voting or what disgusting "policies" they are voting for, they just want the bodies to win... Shameful...
