Republicans need a refresher course in logic, if they had one in the first place.

Republicans are very short sighted. They don't take the problems of the country seriously. They practice politics 24-7 and when they are faced in actually addressing problems they are completely illogical playing citizens for fools.
Wasn't it Mitch McConnell that started the obstruction movement that leaves the country in purgatory? McConnell refused the will of the people when President Obama wanted to carry forward infrastructure projects. So, Republicans have no room to complain about the choices the people make in primaries or otherwise. The Republicans ignore the people while stating the Democrats are the ones ignoring the will of the people.
The entire Republican field were shaking in their boots while Donald Trump stated if he wasn't treated fairly he would run as an Independent. They were shaking in their boots because they didn't want to split the Republican vote. They were shaking in their boots because they are a complete abhorrence of governance. The Republicans know they are lousy leaders that cannot balance their governance in recognition of a two to three party system. They are only successful when the extremism of their voter base is left intact.
So, basically, the 17 Republican member field thought they had Donald Trump hog tied when he signed an agreement to not run as an Independent. Donald Trump was not going to win as a Republican.
Today, when all strategies have failed to contain Donald Trump, Republicans are willing to live up to their agreement in backing the Republican nominee. Today, Paul Ryan is having a difficult time in CONTAINING the Republican nominee, Donald Trump. The same lack of willingness to see the issues of the people and acting on them IS NOT at the heart of Ryan's governance. Ryan is far more interested in containing Donald Trump still yet than lose his cronies. Republican cronies are in complete opposition of the will of the people.
The Republicans cannot govern when they are only interested in maintaining their politics and funding no matter what it costs the people of the country. 
It is amazing. At the time all the candidates were signing an agreement to run as Republicans they fully believed someone other than Donald Trump was going to be the nominee come November. They never thought it through and entered into an agreement based ONLY IN ARROGANCE.

It looks like (click here) we should start planning certified robot Marco Rubio’s belated bar-mitzvah, because it looks like the GOP’s babiest automaton has turned into a real boy—at least when it comes to refusing to publicly back presumptive GOP nominee/withered Cheeto behind your couch Donald Trump.
Well, sort of.
In an interview on Tuesday with anchor Jake Tapper on CNN’s The Lead, the former GOP hopeful and current Florida senator once again flatly denied the possibility of running on the same ticket as his former rival.
“It would be impossible,” Rubio stated, citing his lack of advisers currently “out in the field.”
“I stand by the things that I said,” Rubio went on to insist, while referring to Trump as an “erratic con-man” who should not be given nuclear codes—which is all probably correct, considering that Trump seems to think that nuclear warfare is about the same as playing Sid Meier’s Civilization II....
