“Look, the comment about the judge, just was out of left field for my mind”, Ryan said on WISN in Milwaukee.

When it comes down to it, I do believe that even those people with whom I would disagree on many or even most issues would agree that a person such as Trump – with seemingly no grasp on the basic workings of a democracy and a willingness to say or do anything simply to gain power – does not belong anywhere near the White House.
“He clearly says things I do not agree with, and I’ve had to speak up from time to time when that happens”, Ryan said, adding that he will continue to do so if necessary.
House Speaker Paul Ryan endorsed presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“I would hope at this stage of the campaign that Donald Trump would turn a new page, start acting presidential, stop with the personal insults and begin articulating what his vision for America is”, she said.
Trump has this funded opportunity afforded by his earlier than expected locking up of the nomination to use the time to build his case against Hillary Clinton and to bring the – his party behind him. In his op-ed, he said discussions with Trump convinced him that a President Trump will support policies Ryan has always been advocating.
And Ryan made clear he had Clinton on his mind when he chose to join the ranks of Republicans who have slowly come around to backing Trump, the brash billionaire few expected to emerge as the party’s nominee when the campaign began in earnest previous year.
“We shouldn’t be speaking to fellow citizens in ways that divide us”, Ryan told the Journal Sentinel Friday. Party unity is the coalescing of Trump and Ryan’s agendas, whether the speaker wants to admit it or not. Hillary Clinton and Sen. But they forget that, as unpopular as Clinton is, she is still more popular than Trump.
“I’m building a wall”. “We’re going to talk about our work and what we’re doing here”. He announced his support for Trump in an op-ed published in his hometown Wisconsin newspaper, The Gazette, on Thursday.
“This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes, because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin”, she said.
Note, when Ryan referenced the racially charged comments from “the other day”, it’s unclear exactly which day he meant.
“For legions of anti-Trump conservatives, Ryan was not only the last member of the Republican congressional leadership holding out on endorsing the billionaire who vexes them so”. She deleted one Tweet sent less than a month ago, in which she predicted that Trump would drive Miami’s Cuban Americans from the Republican Party.
“So great to have the endorsement and support of Paul Ryan”, Trump wrote. And, since then, he’s already called out Trump for his attack on that judge in the Trump University case.
Electing Trump, she said, would be “a historic mistake”.
Toward the end of the interview, however, McConnell softened a bit to Trump. Where Trump will get a Secret Service detail while on campaign? He will be joined Thursday by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., at the Council on Foreign Relations for the release of national security proposals during a panel discussion on “Protecting the U.S. Homeland” and “Defending Freedom, Advancing American Interests, and Renewing Our National Security Tools”.

Sen. John Cornyn, the No. 2 Senate Republican, said Monday that he’s backing Trump over Clinton because “the last thing we need is another terrible Obama third term”.
