The Republicans want to be conned: Paul Ryan and the GOP are letting themselves be duped by Trump

"The obvious problem with all this is that there is no “getting to know” Donald Trump. He’s an ideologically incoherent cartoon character, an intangible cloud of hair spray and cultural resentment. He flits between policy positions like some sort of bigoted hummingbird. His word is worthless, and his loyalty to the GOP is nonexistent. The only thing you can count on him to do is tell you what you want to hear, then break his promise. But Ryan and the rest of the House GOP leadership are ready and willing to let themselves be conned by Donald Trump."
