Washington (CNN)CNN is set to host a town hall with House Speaker Paul Ryan in New York City on Tuesday, July 12, just days before the Republican National Convention.

Ryan will take questions from CNN's Jake Tapper, who will moderate the one-hour event, as well as from audience members regarding the current state of the Republican Party and Ryan's strategy for the GOP to keep the majority of the House in November.

Ryan, in his capacity as House speaker, will chair the GOP convention in Cleveland, which officially begins July 18.

The town hall, which will be held at 9 p.m. ET and will air on CNN, CNN International and CNN en Espanol, and will be live-streamed online and across mobile devices via CNNgo.

I'm thinking Ryan is trying to save his party and his own career given the reality of Trump. When else has the house leader held a town hall?

Plus he is getting some criticism these days as the GOP con unravels:

1. first question to Paul Ryan. Were you this much of an idiot when you became a republican

or were born that way?

[Me.]

2. My Bet

Is he wants to be choice #1 if the Never Trump people succeed.

3. Yep

4. Why he wants to appear weak and feckless in the face of Trump's bigotry on..

national television is beyond me, but go ahead, Paul. Do your thing. I hope Tapper and the audience ask the tough questions. This should also provide some clips for 2020 or 2024 when Ryan decides to run.

5. Question: Why do you beleive more in the

philosophy of Ayn Rand than of Jesus Christ?
