Rick Klein: “Donald Trump said he would do this, just about in as many words. For months, as he rolled out hard-edged, no-nonsense policies, Trump said that ‘everything is negotiable,’ and even, ‘I’m capable of changing to anything I want to change to.’ Here he is now, barely a week after his final rivals dropped out, waffling and adjusting on the minimum wage, entitlement reform, tax policy, and even the Muslim ban.”
“The immediate question for Paul Ryan is which Trump he would prefer. The presumptive nominee isn’t moving in a particularly consistent policy direction, much less one Ryan would endorse. It’s hard to see Ryan coming on board without some policy movement he’s comfortable with. But it’s also hard to see Ryan comfortable with as much movement as Trump has demonstrated just in the past eight days.”
