Washington (CNN)Speaker Paul Ryan said House Republicans should not betray their conscience when it comes to backing their party's presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"The last thing I would do is tell anybody to do something that's contrary to their conscience. Of course I wouldn't do that," he told NBC News' Chuck Todd in an upcoming episode of "Meet the Press" airing Sunday.
"Look, believe me, Chuck. I get that this is a very strange situation. He's a very unique nominee," Ryan added. "But I feel as a responsibility institutionally as the Speaker of the House that I should not be leading some chasm in the middle of our party. Because you know what I know that'll do? That'll definitely knock us out of the White House."

I want neither, to be honest, they are BOTH evil. I was just pointing out the REALITY of what the numbers are telling everyone.
Seems to me, all along the Primary, people were discounting Trumps rise, ignoring the polls that said he was ahead everywhere and winning everywhere.
Not that he’s where he is and the Primary is over, his supporters seem to be ignoring and discounting Trumps drop, and ignoring the polls that say he is dropping everywhere and going to lose against Hillary.
Seems to be, we have a crap sandwich and a vomit sandwich in this election, no matter how you look at it.
Why? Because I shared actual polling numbers and figures? I’m a freak?
LOL....ok...whatever.
From what I’ve seen, Sanders supporters are mostly going to Trump. And many Republicans who don’t want Trump OR Hillary, will be going to Johnson. So the most likely scenario that I see, and historically backed, is Johnson is this elections Ross Perot...the only votes he’ll ciphon are ones for Trump, IMO.
People who put so much faith and belief in pre-convention polls are naive as can be...you DO understand that polls such as these can be construed to match whatever the pollsters wish the results to be...
The ONLY poll that counts is the one taken on November 8th, 2016....
Clearly I think you are wrong. Trump will blow away the democrat no matter who it is.
It serves the Republic no good to keep pounding on Trump because he is the nominee and the GOP is in no way stupid enough to try and unseat him at the convention.
Throwing up these anti-Trump articles/arguments can do nothing but help Hillary, so if the goal is the destruction of the Republic, by all means carry on.
I agree, nothing is set until 11/2016.
But the same polls that have said Trump is gonna be the nominee, are now saying he’s going to lose to Hillary.
So, which is it? You can’t have it both ways. If they are so wrong now, why weren’t they wrong about Trump being the presumptive nominee?
There is a difference in primary polls and general election polls...Primary polls are taken DURING and AFTER campaigning and debates...
The general election polls today are being done BEFORE either debates or the head to head campaigning...
This man is the Speaker of the House not encouraging members of his own party to vote for the nominee!
Each has won the different versions of delegates selection on the state level, but neither has received the first vote by a delegate for nomination.
That being said, I support Trump as the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, although anything can happen before the final vote of delegates at the convention.
The delegates are the representatives, selected by the voters to make a choice at the convention. That’s all they are, and can change their minds before the final vote, whether there is one, two, or more delegate votes.
