Presidential Candidate Trump To Meet With Speaker Ryan
by Gary Bauer, Contributing Author: Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump is set to meet tomorrow with Speaker Paul Ryan and other GOP congressional leaders in Washington, D.C., in an effort to unify the party. Yesterday, both sides were saying the right things.
Ryan, who has so far withheld his endorsement of Trump, told the Wall Street Journal's Gerald Seib, "What I want to see is all conservatives rally together to win this election and defeat Hillary Clinton and make sure we put conservatives on the Supreme Court, make sure we keep Congress."
Certainly no conservative can disagree with anything there.
For his part, Donald Trump told Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, "I have a lot of respect for Paul and I think we are going to have a very good meeting." Trump added that he wanted Ryan to remain in his role as chairman of the Republican Party's national convention this summer.
According to various reports, former candidate Dr. Ben Carson, who has endorsed Trump, is acting as a mediator between the speaker and the Trump campaign. Dr. Carson said he learned that the two men evidently do not know each other very well.
Ryan added that the Republican Party is "a big tent" with "plenty of room for policy disputes." Sources close to the speaker indicate that tomorrow's meeting will likely focus not on disagreements, but on unifying principles -- smaller government, lower taxes, less regulation, a stronger military.
And Trump is signaling that he intends to make good on one of the GOP's unifying principles. Asked by Bill O'Reilly about the sanctity of life, Trump said, "I will appoint judges [who] will be pro-life, yes."
Trump said that he would protect the sanctity of life, adding, "the biggest way you can protect it is through the Supreme Court and putting people on the court."
Certainly no conservative could disagree with that.
Rubio Voting For Trump
Florida Senator Marco Rubio is doing his part to help unify the party. During an interview with CNN last night, Rubio said that he would honor his pledge to support the party's nominee. "I signed a pledge, put my name on it, and said I would support the Republican nominee and that's what I intend to do."
This morning, Rubio told NBC that Trump "has earned the right to make his case to the American people. He earned it at the ballot box, and I'll respect that." Asked about his disagreements with Trump, Rubio replied, "I'm even more scared about [Clinton] being in control of the U.S. government."
