The Daily 202: Trumpism and Ryanism are on a collision course. Who blinks first?

THE BIG IDEA: Donald Trump will lunch with Paul Ryan at 12:30 p.m. at the Capitol Hill Club after he drops by the White House to meet with Barack Obama. The speaker of the House declared at his post-election press conference yesterday that the president-elect has won “a mandate.”

But a mandate for what? -- Trump’s victory represents nothing less than a repudiation of Ryan’s brand of Republicanism, both substantively and stylistically. The two have sharply different views of what it means to be a conservative, and they want to take the Republican Party down different paths.
