Trump's grip on Republican Party 'temporary': ex-U.S. Speaker Ryan
WASHINGTON -- Retired U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan sees an end to former President Donald Trump's current grip on the Republican Party, telling Nikkei that it is "not durable, in my book."
"I see it as a temporary phenomenon ... that is not an intellectual movement, that is not a policy, that is not a principle, that is not a set of reforms, that doesn't offer solutions," the former U.S. speaker of the House of Representatives and vice-presidential candidate in the 2012 presidential election said in an interview in Dallas, Texas.
