Speaker of the House Paul Ryan has finally endorsed Donald Trump for president. After vocally criticizing Trump during the primary and withholding his support for several weeks, Ryan announced in an op-ed for the Janesville Gazette yesterday that he would be voting for Donald Trump. Ryan’s staffers indicated that it is fair to call that it was fair to call the statement an endorsement.

The strangest part of Ryan’s endorsement is the overall framing, which posits that Trump would be a boon for Ryan’s policy agenda. The op-ed is designed to look like a negotiated deal. In fact, it represents a total capitulation to Trumpism.

Although Ryan says that he continues to have disagreements with Trump, and will still say so when the need arises, the Speaker believes that “the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement.”

What issues would those be?
