Trump and Ryan: meeting was a 'very positive step' toward GOP unity – live



Ryan on Trump's Muslim ban: 'I'm not interested in litigating the past'

Ryan is asked whether he can get behind Trump’s call for a ban on Muslim migrants and the deportation of undocumented migrants.

Ryan downplays the importance of any differences the two may have on the issue.

“We will have policy disputes,” Ryan says. “I’m not interested in litigating the past. I’m interested in going forward.”

“I represent a wing of the conservative party – he’s bringing a whole new wing. That’s a positive thing.”

Ryan says that the two shared a “positive vision based on core principles.”

The principles include that a Clinton presidency “would be a disaster.”




Ryan: 'happy to serve as chair' of convention

Ryan says that after meeting Trump he is happy to serve as chairman of the national convention if Trump wanted him to.

Earlier Ryan had said he was willing to step down in the role if Trump wanted.

“I thought he was a very good personality. He was a very warm... gentleman. .. I actually had a very pleasant exchange with him.”



Ryan: 'I was very encouraged'

Ryan says “it’s no secret that Donald Trump and I have had our differences, and we talked about those differences today” but “I was very encouraged” by the meeting.

“It’s very important that we don’t fake unifying... so that we are full strength in the fall,” he says.

As I said, this is merely a dance.  Torsos not touching.

By the end, they'll be tongue-kissing.

Neither one of these liberals gives a damn about the Constitution.

Thanks you massa, you gwine be da bes massa evuh, massa.

Yea!!! The establishment which has lied about every promise they ever made is embracing the guy who funded the stuff they promised to fight.

This new Leftist/Progressive GOP is a real winner and everyone should be real proud.

(BTW, I wonder if Trump sycophant Palin will now back Ryan in his House race?)

Yeah, a nativist, mercantilist wing.   It's the "conservatism" of the thirties.  No thanks.

Wouldn't you be the one on the Island since you worship a guy talking about his penis in a nationally televised debate?

No sir!  For you'll be the outsiders.

And after a spell, all your tempter tantrums and screaming will be just 'white noise' to the rest of us.

It sounds like you have a ranking, for which voters really matter to elitists like yourself, and which voters do not matter.

The West Virginia coal miner, being made redundant by elitist global warming (your lady Hillary) motives, should be relegated to a life of welfare, or "retraining" at best, right?

Or the computer customer service representative in Desmoines, giving way to one in Manilla.

To you those people do not matter, since protecting them and their interests is "nativist" and/or "mercantilist?"

Not to mention we should be willing to accept a few of us getting mowed down from time to time, by muslims like the wife in San Bernardino.

The minority of you.  Have you looked around?  This place is majority #NeverTrump.

Coal mining is losing to natural gas more than to the phony global warming claims.  Coal miners will continue to shrink in numbers.

And customer service reps are a commodity item.  They read off scripts mostly.  A repetitive task like that will go to the lowest bidder.

Or are we to mourn over the loss of buggy-whip makers a hundred years ago?

All I'm saying is I could picture your collie doing that to me.

Sorry for the visual, Henry!

The solution is economic growth, not government protection of dying industries.   Lower corporate taxes, less regulation (especially with respect to the  labor market),  lower barriers to investment and the extension of credit,  allow corporations to repatriate their money back home.   All the stuff the Dems don't believe in.

Several of the posters sound the same. All the $neverTrump Articles are virtually cookie cutter in their wording, talking points and anger. Could be a lot less of you then you think.
