Slowly but surely, the heavyweights of the Republican Party are closing ranks behind Donald Trump in the run-up to July’s official confirmation of his candidacy at the November presidential elections.
In the meantime, he will be hoping to convert Trump, a man with no clear ideology and able to contradict himself in the same sentence, round to conservative orthodoxy.
Trump famously dismissed his rival in the primaries as “little Marco,” mocking the sweats he would break out in during television debates.
Among the most recent converts to Trump’s cause is Florida senator Marco Rubio, the man considered the Republican Party’s best hope until a few months ago.
Among Republicans still to publicly declare their support for Trump is Congressional speaker Paul Ryan, considered by many to be the GOP’s ideologue during the Obama presidencies and the man behind recent proposals to cut social spending, in contrast to the message Trump is spreading about his policies if he becomes president.
