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.
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.

The more abuse you throw around the more you discredit your opinions.
You put down poor whites as bigoted and then throw around so much abuse that it's hard to take anything you say seriously.
Trump should tell Ryan to take a hike.
There is a very good chance Ryan won’t be in DC in January.
Trump could offer Ryan a position at that convention.
Something like chair straightener or in confetti removal.
Yes. By say less than 300 people.

I am going to back off and let this happen but if Ryno is an A hole we will leave him on the curb. I swear we don’t need him. Trump will be awesome on this -— watch.
I don’t trust the traitors. But this is an election year so they are pretending to care what the voters think.
Agreed. It was the rino neo cons who callously disregarded the electorate of real conservative patriots who put them in office to stop Obamacare and border running illegals and over taxation and fixing the economic woes caused therein. All of which they refused to stop and even gave the evil regime all the taxpayers monies he needed to continue his evil work.
The Congress needs to be replaced with conservatives.
I agree. Ryan is positioning himself for a later date. Everyone knows he has reservations about Trump. Now he can support him, and later if things go south, he can say I told you so, and I did it for the party. So either way he looks good.
If I was Ryan, I would pay no heed to the jokers who elected the like of me.
Ryan is such a twit.
I think Ryan will flip and will back Trump.
You nailed it FRiend!
Excellent! I hope he listens.
Ryan won’t last long. It sounds like there is an open rebellion already under way. Ryan obviously didn’t consult with anyone before spitting in the face of millions of GOP primary voters.
You need to go to Middle school and take a civics class.
The representatives elect the speaker..... they did the people’s will like they were elected to do
Get real. That’s how it’s supposed to work. It ends up being the schemers and plotters getting the position.
The “people” didn’t put Ryan where he is - a bunch of lying politicians did.
The people elected him. Then the congress elected him.
Your bias has blinded you
No. Reality is what drives me. Your childish bleats about how it is supposed to work vs. what really happens there run tiresome.
This primary season has shown this whole country the true mettle of what’s representing us, and it is nowhere near what we thought it was when we elected them.
take another pill and relieve your delusional self inflicted pain
