"Paul Ryan has continued to stand behind Donald Trump this summer despite the many, many, many things Trump has done and said that would make a more principled politician reconsider his support. Ryan has justified it all by arguing repeatedly that he and his fellow Republicans could accomplish far more with Trump in office than with his opponent. It turns out, however, that Trump does not feel the same way about the House speaker.
In an interview with the Washington Post on Tuesday, Trump refused to endorse Ryan in his upcoming GOP primary election in Wisconsin against Tea Party-style businessman Paul Nehlen. “I like Paul [Ryan], but these are horrible times for our country,” Trump said of the highest-ranking Republican in the U.S. government. “We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”
At this point, nothing Trump does should surprise anyone, but this is a stunning decision. It comes just two weeks after Ryan tried to rally his party at the GOP convention and Trump officially became the Republican Party nominee. It also comes at a time when we are starting to see small, but significant cracks in the façade of GOP unity following Trump’s ill-conceived feud with the gold star parents of a fallen Muslim American soldier."
