Donald Trump, Paul Ryan say meeting was positive first step
Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
Washington Paul Ryan and Donald Trump pledged to work together Thursday to defeat Democrat Hillary Clinton in the fall general election,though the Republican House speaker again stopped short of formally endorsing his party's imminent presidential nominee.
"The United States cannot afford another four years of the Obama White House, which is what Hillary Clinton represents," Ryan and Trump said in a joint statement after their private meeting on Thursday. "That is why it's critical that Republicans unite around our shared principles, advance a conservative agenda, and do all we can to win this fall."
Ryan and Trump also said they were "honest about our few differences," and more discussions will be scheduled. They said they "remain confident there's a great opportunity to unify our party and win this fall, and we are totally committed to working together to achieve that goal."
Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus, who sat in on the Trump-Ryan summit, tweeted that "the meeting was great. It was a very positive step toward party unity."

The Guy wants to Run on his own in 2020. With Walker out of the way,the Koch Brothers will have a clean shot with their Stooge Ryan.
