(Reuters) - U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan said on Monday he would step down as chairman of the Republican Party's July convention if presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump asked him to do so, a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter said on Twitter.

".@SpeakerRyan on whether he'd step down as convention chair if Trump asks: I'll do whatever he asks me to do," Christian Schneider, one of the newspaper's columnists, tweeted.

Ryan also said in the interview he is steadfastly opposed to a third-party candidate, even if it were 2012 party nominee Mitt Romney, Schneider said in another tweet.

He's all over the map with that.

I believe he ought to full up his big boy pants and stay put, help
unify that group. He is intelligent and well-respected.

Taking his marbles and going home is not going accomplish a thing.

He is now playing CYA.

ACTING AS IF HE IS A REASONABLE PERSON, DOING WHATS BEST FOR THE PARTY..

I DONT BUY A DAMN THING THAT WORM SAYS NOW. NOT AFTER HE TRIED TO
SABOTAGE THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT AND HAS ALREADY GIVEN OBAMA
A COUPLE TRILLION MORE DOLLARS TO PISS AWAY ON LIB/COMMUNIST NATION DESTROYING
POLICIES.

AFTER A SNAKE SHOWS ITS POISONOUS , I never forget... NEVER....
I'd spit in his face.....TYR

Nah, I'm with Tyr-Trump and Palin and Huckabee should tell all those that are pretend Republicans to f off and get out of the way.

Hmmmm? I'm confused?

I disagree. I'm not a fan of Ryan's. However, neither am I a fan of Trump's. I don't see anything turncoat here. Ryan's a Republican representing the GOP. Trump is not.

[Kathianne]

Hmmmm? I'm confused?

Those that feel Trump needs to 'be more something' than what he is, don't belong in the GOP. Palin has called for "Cantoring" Ryan. Huckabee has insulted those that don't want to vote for Trump for their own reasons. One of Trump's staff has said that those that won't vote for Trump are not 'real Republicans' and should drop their registration.

The message is clear.

If they are going to help Hillary by not endorsing the nominee, what response do they deserve?

[Black Diamond]

Why does the task of uniting the party fall on one person's shoulders?

[Kathianne]

If they are going to help Hillary by not endorsing the nominee, what response do they deserve?

Heck, my vote takes away from Hillary, I won't vote for her.

I do agree though, those that think Trump is the wrong face for the GOP should get the hell out of that party.

And meanwhile Hillary wrecks the Supreme Court and the country. Just endorse her and be honest.

[Gunny]

If they are going to help Hillary by not endorsing the nominee, what response do they deserve?

While I agree in intent, I also don't believe they need to be insulted. There's no call for that. And it goes both ways. I quit calling them Trumpies because I can see why. I'
I've talked myself blue in the face last two elections saying exactly what you are without trying to not insult anyone. I honestly don't understand their mentality, but I don't throw my friends in the shitcan just because I disagree with them.

The other thing I don't get is the other side of the coin. The side I'm on. I can't stand Trump. I turn the tube off when he's on it. He says nothing. His entire vocabulary consists of adjectives. "Wonderful". "Amazing" "Millions".

But I DO know how to win a chess match.

I just don't think a handful of people speak for the entire party. I disagree with talk of some sort of new party being formed, or the forcing of folks to leave. I see talk like this from various politicians nearly every election. Nobody really gets to speak to others, and tell them they have to leave somehow. All rhetoric crap. Some may say they aren't real republicans, others have said the same about Trump during the campaign.

[Kathianne]

I won't vote for her, won't for Trump either. I know what Hillary would do. If Trump gets in, I hope your gut is right and mine wrong. If he 'does great' I'll say so. Ask those that have known me for years. I won't change my opinion though if he keeps behaving as he does, as not wanting to be part of that.
