What is the role of elected officials? To never change their positions and tell the voters to take it or leave it? Or is it to serve your constituents, and if they demand something different from what you are offering, to give it to them? I think it should be the latter, and if the nominating base of the Republican Party has carried Trump to victory from what was probably the largest and deepest primary field in history, shouldn't party leaders accept that that's what their supporters want and to give it to them? If you refuse to give the base what they want, you shouldn't be a leader of that party.
This would be one of the few times in his life when Paul Ryan did the right thing.
