Republicans are returning to Capitol Hill to confront an awkward new reality. Donald Trump is their presumptive presidential nominee, but instead of uniting behind him, leading figures are withholding their support.
Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan have agreed to meet next Thursday
A fractured Republican party showed few signs of mending Friday, after RNC chairman Reince Priebus declared his support for Donald Trump, and Trump bashed House Speaker Paul Ryan for not falling in line.
Ryan's national stature is such that he had to call a news conference to deny he wants to be president. Back on Capitol Hill, he's about to blow through a statutory deadline to pass an annual budget.
House Speaker Paul Ryan promises a bold, election-year agenda of replacing the health care law and fighting poverty. While GOP task forces are talking about national security, jobs and health care, the House floor has largely been turned over to the obscure and the arcane.

Obama plays basketball and Romney campaigns on Election Day

Mitt Romney's apprentice salesman stepped on the stage last night and delivered his talking points, but little more. Throughout the night, Joe Biden delivered lesson after lesson to the ambitious young Congressman from Wisconsin.
Both candidates did what they had set out to do. Biden reached out to his base, and Ryan spoke to those who don't like the direction the country is headed. Republicans are likely not happy that Ryan didn't deliver the knock-out debate Mitt Romney did a week ago while Democrats are, as previously stated, ecstatic Biden didn't have a bad night.
Many analysts predicted there would be fireworks during the only debate between Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan -- and the candidates didn't disappoint.
First, try to make Paul Ryan look inexperienced and un-Presidential and, two, hold the Romney/Ryan ticket accountable for their ever changing policies and focus on Mitt Romney as someone that cannot be trusted.
