The gap narrows...


“Look, it’s no secret that Donald Trump and I have had our differences. We talked about those differences today,” Mr. Ryan told reporters after the meetings.


“We are now planting the seeds to get ourselves unified,” Mr. Ryan said. “I was very encouraged with this meeting, but this is a process. It takes a little time.”


Mr. Trump put out a joint statement Thursday with Mr. Ryan expressing confidence that they can “unify our party and win this fall, and we are totally committed to working together to achieve that goal.”

It is political drama designed to allow anti-Trump republicans to come around to at least vote for him even if not overtly support him.

It's an odd primary season in that the number of Trump voters seem to be on the high side, given that his approval polls are quite low. It will be interesting to see how that plays out in the general election.

Ryan can choose to leave Trump's Republican Party.

Ryan has already betrayed the voters with his $1 trillion plus spending bill. He will have a primary challenger.
