Paul Ryan, who has expressed reluctance in backing Donald Trump for president, has offered to step aside as chairman at this summer's Republican convention if Trump asks him to. Do you think Trump will do so? Should he?

If you try to use logic, tradition, and predictability with Trump, you will loose. He marches to his own drum GOP be damned. Trump is for Trump. If you like him great. If you don't he'll destroy you on twitter and mainstream media. Note how many current politicians would not mention him in a bad light when directly asked of their opinions of him or his chances of becoming the GOP nominee?

Capt Seid Waddell - But Obama hasn't destroyed any political careers using twitter...yet. What happened to Rubio was vicious. Ted might not fare much better from this either.

SSG Warren Swan, he has destroyed the careers of many military leaders that disagreed with him. He didn't need twitter when he had executive power, the IRS, the Justice Dept., and the EPA to destroy his political opponents.

Capt Seid Waddell - but that is perfectly legal. McArthur was relieved because he thought he knew more than the President, and decided to run his gums in defiance. If you allow your ego and rank to make a debt like that, you deserve to be shuffled out the door. Regular Joes are getting the shaft for less. Some of those GO's did the exact same thing. McCrystal was crazy to allow his staff to bad mouth the President "off the record".....seriously? PAO 101...NOTHING IS OFF THE RECORD. With some not all of these GO's they allowed their rank to be confused with the Presidents actual authority. Their mistake.

SSG Warren Swan, it was legal with the military leaders, but not with the IRS, DoJ, or the EPA. The point is that Obama doesn't need to tweet to destroy his opponents.

I do not believe Trump will request Ryan to step aside. This would continue to shatter the Republican party in that the top ranked Republican in today's government would be scooted out.

This assumes that Trump cares even a little bit about the Republican party, I haven't seen any evidence that he does.

Seems like a mute question to me. If the GOP is following Ryan, it's no longer the GOP
