“He’s the nominee. I’ll do whatever he wants with respect to the convention”, Ryan said told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an interview.

“Jeb Bush signed a pledge that he would support the nominee and so that this lightweight Lindsay Graham”, said Mr Trump.
GOP primary voters have made Trump their presumptive presidential nominee but the businessman has struggled to close the deal with party insiders.
A Ryan spokesman said that phone call never happened.
“We have right now a disunified Republican Party”. You know, there are Conservative Parties.
Trump also complained that he was “blindsided” by House Speaker Paul Ryan’s refusal to endorse him. We want to bring the party together.
These distinctions-between how a conservative can attack Trump and how a progressive can, between questions of character and of personality-go some way toward explaining the mixed reactions to Hillary Clinton’s first attacks on Trump.
“I think when we built the direct broadcast satellite business we didn’t get lucky”.
“She’s married to a man who was the worst abuser of women in the history of politics, ” Trump said of Clinton as he addressed supporters at the Spokane Convention Center just days after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee.
It’s what lies behind the symbolism that poses the threat to Ryan: the reality that Trump is prepared to defy any authority in his push to remake the GOP in his own image.
George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, the only former Republican presidents still living, said they would not back Trump’s candidacy.
“I see a great role and opportunity for him and his supporters to be part of that unified party to move into not just November to win the election against Donald Trump, but to then govern based on the progressive goals that he and I share”, she said.
WASHINGTON (AP) For Donald Trump, party unity is a good thing. Trump said Ryan, R-Wis., had called him three weeks ago, after winning the NY primary on April 19, to congratulate him and that the two had a friendly exchange.
Asked by Chuck Todd, the show’s presenter, if he thought Mr Ryan should chair the party’s showpiece convention if he ultimately withholds support, Mr Trump replied: “I will give you a very solid answer if that happens about one minute after it happens”.
Ryan said his comments last week were him simply speaking his mind.
“I think it would be better if it were unified, I think it would be – there would be something good about it”, Trump told ABC, referring to the Republican Party. The approach is working with voters such as Chira Corwin, 42, from Des Moines, Iowa, who said Clinton has “been in the field, so to speak, working with people, as opposed to Trump, who has been a millionaire his whole life”. “Wherever fascism and racism goes, we’re going to be there fighting it back”.
The twice-divorced billionaire, who was celebrated for decades as one of New York’s most sought-after bachelors, has also admitted to cheating on his first wife with the woman who became his second.

In doing so, he seemed to grasp that a new twist on direct democracy was in the offing: that disaffected voters who tune out the traditional modes of political communication might be reachable through their smartphones, and Twitter messages or Reddits might be more relevant to those voters than the findings of a more scientific poll.
