Now that Donald Trump has cornered the presidential nomination, many in the Republican establishment are jumping on his bandwagon.

And if elected, Trump would need their help in pushing his agenda through Congress.
“They call it the Clinton [News] Network and I believe that”, Trump said.
“First of all, you should congratulate me for having won the race”, Trump said to Cuomo.
In an interview to his hometown newspaper, Mr. Ryan said he never said that he will not support Mr. Trump. If Republican voters who backed Cruz in March stay home this November, it could wind up costing the party local contests in places like Harris County. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s office said Monday that Trump would be meeting with Republican leadership Thursday on Capitol Hill.
He used the term “lightweight” to describe Sen. I mean, Mitt Romney was a bad candidate, didn’t understand how to reach the common person.
TRUMP: She can’t talk about me because nobody respects women more than Donald Trump, and I will be better for women by a big factor than Hillary Clinton, who frankly, I don’t even think will be good to women. “I like people who weren’t captured”. “This is called the Republican Party”, he said. “I don’t require any fix of that”.
There’s another lesson here, too: If you run into Trump on January 7, be sure to wish him Happy New Year. “I thought, you know, at least there would be a small congratulations”.
“The important thing to remember is the national titular head of the party is the nominee of the Republican Party”, Mr Manafort said.
Although Trump already became the GOP’s presumptive nominee last week when Ted Cruz and John Kasich quitted the race to the White House, some top Republican leaders are still expressing wariness about Trump.
Quitting might be awkward too, making it appear Ryan is afraid to face up to Trump after his disavowal. Palin and McCain were on CNN’s “State of the Union“, Manafort was interviewed by “Fox News Sunday” and Flake was on NBC.
Ryan is scheduled to preside over the GOP convention in Cleveland in July as part of his role as House speaker.
Of course, it’s also possible that Ryan’s offer to do what Trump wants is what it seems to be on the surface – an olive branch. “I’m not there right now, and I hope we don’t get to a point where I decide I just can’t support him”. “This man is a hardworking guy, so in touch with the people”.
Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton is refusing to respond to Donald Trump’s recent comments that she was an enabler of former President Bill Clinton’s marital infidelities during his political career.
“I have nothing to say about him and how he’s running his campaign”, Clinton said, adding when pressed, “I’ve been clear that a lot of his rhetoric is risky”.
That’s why, Mr Trump explained, he was “blindsided” when Ryan said he wasn’t ready to back a Trump ticket.
“I don’t want to be an isolationist, but what’s happening with China, what’s happening with Japan, what’s happening with Mexico, they’re just absolutely eating our lunch”.
