Republican primary voters have chosen Donald Trump as the party's nominee, from an array of 17 mostly qualified candidates. Yet the nation's senior elected Republican official - Speaker of the House Paul Ryan - cannot bring himself to support the voters' choice "at this time"?
Do you believe Paul Ryan truly wants to continue as Speaker? He has self-identified as disagreeing with the party's voters. One could argue Ryan has disqualified himself.
On the other hand, the Speaker represents not the will of the voters but rather the will of the elected Representatives. He is their elected leader, not ours. It is possible a majority of GOP Representatives disagree with the party's voters.
Our Representatives might want to rethink their choice for Speaker. Their failure to do so, if it happens, can be sorted out via primary challenges in congressional district elections around the country.
