Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is making many in
the Republican Party uneasy. Speaker Paul Ryan, RNC chairman Reince
Priebus and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker seemed to have an agenda
early on about the political moves they wanted to make for the party,
but those moves got compromised by Trump.
Walker was a presidential candidate on the main stage debates who dropped out because of Trump. Priebus had plans for making the Republican Party more appealing to Hispanics, but these plans got foiled after Trump’s controversial comments about Mexicans. As for Ryan, he wants the next GOP nominee to follow a governing blueprint to use after Obama leaves office. But Trump is likely not going to follow that blueprint.
Trump has widened the gap between voters and leaders of the GOP establishment. He’s also tested if the Republican elites can answer questions that working class people have about the economy and their other struggles.
Walker dropped out of the presidential race early on and wanted others to drop out too because he thought fewer candidates in the race will give more support to one of Trump’s rivals. But that did not happen.
Ryan has tried to stay neutral during the presidential race, but he has broken his silence twice to comment about Trump.
Priebus and Ryan are the ones who will chair the GOP convention in July, which will either award the nomination to Trump or give it to someone else. If Trump has the majority of the votes without securing the nomination in his delegate count, then it will tear apart the Republican Party.

“There was a problem that none of them either contemplated or if they did contemplate, didn’t appreciate how deep it was,” conservative insider David Keene said about GOP leaders. “And that was the growing anger out there.”Priebus, Ryan and Walker are prime examples of the struggles and anger that GOP and conservative leaders are facing because of Trump.
