How cute. RINO Paul Ryan called both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, the two most likely to win the GOP nomination (if the establishment doesn’t try and give it to Mitt Romney). Ryan called both Trump and Cruz briefing them on House Republicans’ efforts to craft a “bold, election-year agenda”. Yea, okay.

The speaker, a Wisconsin Republican, plans to hold similar calls with the other two remaining GOP presidential contenders, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Ohio Gov. Kasich.
No other information about the calls was provided.
The phone calls came amid growing tension between Trump, the GOP front-runner, and Ryan, who was Mitt Romney’s vice presidential running mate in 2012.
Late last week, Romney gave a scathing speech ripping Trump as a “phony” and “fraud” who had deceived American voters. He called on Republicans to defeat Trump.
Days earlier, Ryan took Trump to task for failing to forcefully reject an endorsement from former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Trump, after a triumphant night on Super Tuesday, warned Ryan that he better get along with him or “pay a big price.”
