“This is not conservatism”, Mr. Ryan said in December.

As if they haven’t groaned enough this week, we can expect a few more lackluster grumbles from the Republican party as Donald Trump has just announced the person who will head his newly-appointed finance committee for the general election.
“I’ve always said I would support the nominee of the party”, McCain (R-Arizona) told KTAR News 92.3 FM Mac & Gaydos.
Mr Trump said he had “no idea” if they would patch things up but claimed it was not all that important.
Ryan’s stunning statement had its immediate ripple effect inside the party and might have lasting impact on Trump’s presidential ambitions, if the division within the Republican establishment are not shorted out soon.
During the primary, Trump criticized rival Ted Cruz because the Texas senator’s wife worked for Goldman Sachs. “Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton”, Trump said in February.
Donald Trump on Thursday held his first rally as the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee and jokingly lamented the end of the bitter primary season.
Big-name Republican leaders have lined up against Donald Trump in an extraordinary show of discontent over him winning the party’s presidential nomination. “And I and the candidate we will have represent a different view”.
“I’m in the process of trying to figure out ‘What next?'” Roberts said. And he acknowledged the import of Trump’s victories over a field of some of the GOP’s most experienced politicians, saying the mogul had “tapped into something in this country that was very powerful”.
But Ryan’s hesitancy to align with Trump could give some other vulnerable GOP members cover to also distance themselves from the probable Republican nominee.
“He’s focused on an agenda”.
To boot, the three delegates-elect from the 4th Congressional District, which includes York County, ran on the platform that they’d vote for him at the party’s July convention no matter what.
“The best way to prevent that from happening is to make sure he never gets near the White House”, Clinton said.

The irony of Trump, who has repeatedly and publicly railed against hedge fund managers and the so-called carried interest loophole that some use to lower their taxes, hiring a hedge fund manager to lead his campaign finance effort was apparently lost on the candidate.
