ARK CITY, Utah — House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) faced tough questioning here Friday for his decision to endorse Donald Trump, and he tried to explain to an audience hostile to the New York mogul the factors that led him to back the presumptive GOP nominee.
Ryan’s appearance briefly brought into the open the issue that has shadowed the annual ideas summit hosted
by 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney — the alarm with which many
establishment Republicans view Trump’s pending nomination and the
potential damage it could do to the party in November and beyond.
Ryan's closed-door
session — attended by about 300 elite Republican donors and business
executives — also highlighted his differences with his friend
and ally, Romney, who tapped him as his vice-presidential running mate
and is now an avowed leader of the Never Trump movement.
