Ben Domenech: Paul Ryan Is Whatever the Republican Congress Wants Him To Be

DOMENECH: “Well, I think that the truth is here that Paul Ryan is whatever the Republican Congress wants him to be. And in this case he has stepped forward and given cover to a lot of Republicans who are members of the House right now who under his leadership have either ideological or electoral reasons not to support Donald Trump right now. And that’s frankly something that's working. The focus is on him, the focus is not on all these other individuals who are worried that Donald Trump will be running on an agenda that undermines their ability to hold the House Republican majority. That's the concern, and it's the front and center for Paul Ryan right now and that's why he said what he said. So you can hunt him, you can condemn him, you can set the dogs on him, but he's going to be what the Republican majority needs him to be.”
