Paul Ryan: Donald Trump can help make reality of bold House policy agenda  Thursday, June 2, 2016
The speaker of the House of Representatives says he will vote for Donald Trump.

Rep. Paul Ryan made that statement in a column submitted Thursday for publication in The Gazette, his hometown newspaper.

The statement at least partially answers a question on many minds: whether the leader of the House Republicans and chairman of the upcoming Republican National Convention would support Trump's candidacy.

Ryan has criticized Trump during the primary campaign. The two met May 12, but afterward Ryan said it was too soon for an endorsement.

A Ryan campaign spokesman said the column is an endorsement of Trump's candidacy.

Ryan wrote in the opinion piece, which is being released on this website this afternoon, that he and Trump have talked at length.

Ryan's column also touts the “confident America” policy agenda he has been developing since becoming speaker of the House last fall.

“Through these conversations, I feel confident he (Trump) would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people's lives. That's why I'll be voting for him this fall,” Ryan wrote.

Washington (CNN)House Speaker Paul Ryan on Thursday said he's voting for presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
In an op-ed for the Janesville Gazette of Janesville, Wisconsin, Ryan -- who sparked a political firestorm last month when he told CNN's Jake Tapper he was "just not ready" to back his party's nominee -- says he is now convinced Trump will advance the Republican agenda.

"I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people's lives. That's why I'll be voting for him this fall," Ryan wrote.
He added, "It's no secret that he and I have our differences. I won't pretend otherwise. And when I feel the need to, I'll continue to speak my mind. But the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement."
Since Ryan's announcement early last month that he wasn't yet ready to back Trump, the two have met and spoken by phone. A source close to Ryan told CNN the speaker made the decision earlier in the week, but declined to speak on the discussions between the two, saying the op-ed "speaks for itself."
"He didn't give Mr. Trump a heads up. This was always going to be the speaker's own decision on his own timeline," the source said.

"Voting for" is not an endorsement.  I doubt Ryan will spend one minute campaigning for Trump in any fashion.

HAPPY, I don't know what you mean in your snark above.  Ryan has a 73 point lead over his primary challenger, which means he will continue to represent the first district of Wisconsin and continue to be Speaker.

Surprise, surprise. The man's a pushover; that much has been known for eons.

Rep. Paul Ryan made that statement in a column submitted Thursday for publication in The Gazette, his hometown newspaper.

Exactly.  I'm sure if he could have written it on a couple of squares of Charmin and left in the men's room of the Madison bus station, he would have done it.

And it's not an "endorsement."  It's a "what choice do I have"?

Arne, flowers - I merged your threads and picked the most descriptive title for the merge.

Thank you both, as always.

So great to have the endorsement and support of Paul Ryan. We will both be working very hard to Make America Great Again!

No "thank you," for a non-endorsement.

Thanx!

Don't mind me, Once-Ler, my friend.

...but I am compelled to dish out another "I told you so", here.

Who honestly thought he wouldn't? This Kabuki theater is past the point of absurd.

I don't know how to handle the shock.  This was completely unexpected, lol.

I like it!   :thumbsup2:

So you did.  You win a case of sour persimmons.  They're in the mail.

Does it really matter who endorses the Orange Jello Brain??  I don't see any endorsement changing the minds of #NeverTrump.

Minds. Some will, some won't

Minds. Some will, some won't

At this point, with Trump's racist remarks about Judge Curiel, few #NeverTrumps will change their minds. In fact, most will dig in harder.

It's very predictable that RINO's put the party over principles.

[austingirl]

Ryan, Obama budget-boy and lyin' Don are both big government liberals.

“Through these conversations, I feel confident he (Trump) would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people's lives. That's why I'll be voting for him this fall,” Ryan wrote.

Hardly a ringing endorsement.
