The GOP needs to realize that the voters have spoken and they are behind Trump. The GOP has to look at the big picture and support Trump, or reregister as Democrats.

The voters are telling the so called GOP leaders in the House in Senate to get on the train.

If they don’t they risk losing the most important thing they have, their elected office.

It’s the NWO globalists who are the ones in denial. The Congress people and Senators who came with good intentions are probably happy to see this sea change.

Ryan will never be on same page as Trump because of TPP. Ryan and Cruz wrote an article stating Ryan's passionate support for the bill. The Hill talks about the Ryan/Cruz WSJ article below:

Ted Cruz joins the establishment

They never dreamed that Trump would start a third party WITHIN the walls of the Republican Party.

Remember, it was all about signing the pledge....the pledge....the pledge....

On the social agenda, Trump will probably sign any conservative legislation they send him. The real risk remains that Congress just won’t send him anything. Congress will stake out extreme positions and democrats plus some republicans will kill it.

On the fiscal agenda, Trump will lead. And we will have budgets again.

On foreign policy, Trump will lead as all Presidents do.

On Trade, Trump will lead, but he might get some push back from bought senators and bought congressmen. Expect this to be where the fireworks are.

On Healthcare, Trump will lead. He might get some pushback from special interests, but I think he will get a bi-partisan plan that works better.

On the Military, Trump will lead. He might want $$$ for this. I expect that Trump will have to clean house of military leadership from the damage Obama has done.

On terrorism, I suspect we will have a quiet period. Because anyone who has been paying attention does not want Trump hitting back at you.

I think they will be on the same page about a lot.

Obama and the American people haven’t been on the same page for most of the last seven years. Haven’t seen much media coverage on that fact.

97% of Republicans voted AGAINST Lindsey Graham.

Over 90% of Republicans voted AGAINST Jeb Bush.

Over 85% of Republicans voted AGAINST John Kasich.

Hey Paul Ryan - VOTERS HAVE REJECTED THE GOP ESTABLISHMENT. CAN YOU HEAR US?

CAN YOU HEAR US PAUL?

If you can't back Trump, step down Paul... down from the convention and take your quislings with you. Bust up the party and WE won't vote for ANY GOPe types. Ever. We were the base that added over a thousand Republicans in the last 8 years... and for our effort you and your cronies gave us NOTHING. It's why we're in revolt. IT'S YOUR FAULT Paul Ryan..

Don't blow this opportunity Paul...

Ryan’s reality is that he is in a real fight just to remain a member of congress. To that end he needs to broker any kind of deal with Trump. Even though he has said it is Trump who needs to unify the party, he and his cronies are the ones primarily responsible for the present disarray.
I believe his agenda is even more self serving than you might suspect given the tightness of the race in which he presently finds himself.

The logical conclusion to me, given that he thinks Trump bears the burden of unifying the party, is that Ryan/GOPe want to sway Trump’s VP pick. In that vein, it only makes sense that he wants Trump to choose Cruz as his running mate. By doing so, not only can he can take credit for a concession from Trump, he will also be able to tell voters in Wisconsin he got the VP nomination for the presidential candidate who won the Wisconsin primary.

Hmmmm! Am I crazy?

They weren’t on the same page with Reagan either and even ran one of their own as an independent in 1980. And they could not wait to start up the Bush dynasty as soon as he left office. Populist Republicans who can attract traditional Democrats (the ones who work for a living and love their country but are still knee jerk Democrats) are anathema to the GOP professional political class, who would rather lose and avoid blame than win and assume responsibility.

If and when Trump and the so-called GOP “leadership are on the same page, we’re all screwed.

I hope Donald Trump replaces all department heads, remember when GW Bush took office and left all of the heads in place from Clinton regime, their loyalties were not to Bush.
