Paul Ryan Warns GOP They Will Lose With Trump Topping Ticket

Paul Ryan is warning Republicans of the negative effect that Trump will have on down-ballot Republican candidates. Not quite sure I understand why, unless it's to set himself up as a party leader after Trump crashes the party. Via MSN.com: “I think we’re going to lose more seats than we otherwise would with Trump because there are just too many suburban swing voters that just don’t like him, that therefore vote against Republicans,” Ryan said in an interview with Southern Methodist University’s student-run Daily Campus on Tuesday. Former GOP hopeful Nikki Haley, who dropped out of the Republican primary race after Super Tuesday, would have been a more unifying presidential candidate, he suggested. Ryan said he didn’t subscribe to the nationalist populism of Trump, which is where “the bulk” of Republicans are right now, and also called the current GOP a cult of personality tied to Trump rather than based on a set of principles. I'll give him credit for this: The granny-starver was one of the first Republican leaders to read the writing on the wall and get out of Congress.
