ANALYSIS: Paul Ryan Battling Donald Trump for Soul of Republican Party
CNN ^ | 05/06/2016 | Rick Klein

Donald Trump has used tweets to insult women and ethnic groups, and to drive news cycles over everything from his late-night TV choices to his midday food options.

But he escalated his feud this morning with House Speaker Paul Ryan in a profound way, with implications and ramifications that extend far beyond November.

“Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Wrong, I didn't inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!”

On a basic level, Trump is right. He stands now as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee because of millions of the Republican Party’s own voters, and in spite of, almost to a man and woman, the party’s leadership.

Wrong about what? He has always been the candidate I could not support. The only one who can defeat Hillary is Hillary.

Yet he got half the votes that Hillary did in New York. What state is he going to win that Romney did not?

Whatever he thinks, right now has has a lot in common with the guy who obtains a McDonald’s franchise.

Not sure I agree with that analogy. I liken it more to him just being voted chairman of the board of directors of McDOnalds and he wants to change the menu because the company is failing and people want a menu change but the franchise owners are stuck in their old ways.

That is not correct either. Like it or not, it is the party, or rather the 50 state parties who are allowing him to use their brand-name. I am not one of those who think that party leader should now be talking of schism. Politics is a team sport, and Trump has, it seems been chosen Captain of the militia company and the disappointed community leaders who were not ought to give him a try.
