The next storyline is the will he/won’t he courtship between speaker of the House of Representatives Paul Ryan, who is the one who is the chair of the party convention, and the presumptive nominee Donald Trump. Although Ryan has been playing coy and hard to get, we know how this will end of course. The person who wins the nomination gets to call the shots and so Paul Ryan will capitulate, the only question being when and how.
Stephen Colbert gives advice to Ryan on how to deal with the situation.

Paul Ryan wouldn’t be much of a loss.
Please Trump, do as much collateral damage to the republican party as possible.

Four years may not sound like much, but as we all know, there are likely to be more vacancies on the Supreme Court.
