Rank-and-file House Republicans are urging Speaker Paul Ryan to get behind presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump, warning his resistance could lead to the party fracturing rather than uniting if he withholds his endorsement.
“It makes it harder to unite,” said Rep. Raul Labrador, an Idaho Republican and leader within the conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Nevada Rep. Mark Amodei was incredulous about the speaker’s high profile break with Trump last week, saying, “Ryan goes out on CNN and says it’s Donald Trump’s duty to unite the party,” asking, “So Mr. Speaker, what’s your job regarding unity?”
House Republicans met with Ryan Wednesday morning for the first time since the speaker told CNN’s Jake Tapper he was not yet ready to endorse the presumptive nominee.

This is no longer a requirement at least not for people reagarding Trump. Ryan's failure to keep his word along with the things he has helped move through the house in the way of excessive government spending, has told everyone that he's not a man of his word. It seems his none endorsement has only given people more reason to vote against the establishment which emboldens Trump not weaken him. Ryan is a RINO. He's made this crystal clear and by not endorsing, he has shown us every reason why we should vote for Trump. DC elitism needs to be voted out.
