CNN’s Chalian: Trump-Ryan Relationship Is a ‘Forced Marriage’

‘I think the two men understand that they need each other’

BOLDUAN: "Yes."
CHALIAN: "-- plotting their own paths. And so, it's -- it is a relationship, one, that they both need right now. So, I do believe in that sense there's no reason to sort of turn their back on each other. But these are not people that are -- Paul Ryan and Donald Trump, Kate, are not ideological -- ideologically simpatico in many, many ways. And so I don't know that we're -- we're going to see them always working beautifully together. There will be divides. I do think the two men understand that they need each other."
