"You have said that you will support the Republican nominee. Now you have a nominee, Donald Trump. will you support him?" Tapper asked.

"Well, to be perfectly can did with you, I'm not ready to do that yet. I am not there right now. I hope to and want to. What's required is that we unify the party... I do not want to underplay what he accomplished. He needs to be congratulated for winning the delegates, but he inherited something special," Ryan said. VIDEO...

“I’m not ready to do that yet. I am not there right now”

This is a dishonest headline. Ryan just said he would not endorse right then.

Still this is very troubling.

If Ryan wants to be a surrogate for Clinton and the Democrats then he deserves to lose in the upcoming primary.

WE DON'T WANT TO UNIFY WITH THE DISGUSTING ELITISTS WHO DON'T ACCEPT THE WILL OF THE VOTERS!!

Don't you get it? When they do anything that can help hillary win, we use it as a talking point! It proves that hillary is on the same side as they are! It will win us Sanders and Independent votes! They want to get rid of the establishment 'pubs. If hillary wins, they stay in power.

He inherited a bunch of scum bag Obama supporters from the Establishment. What he WILL create is something special where Americans come first...for the first time in Decades!
Ryan needs to be booted out just like Boehner. He is nothing but RINO slime.

Most of the “moderate” Republicans, except for a few of the most devoutly #NeverTrump fanatics, will slowly circle around and provide at least lukewarm support.

But not all is lost. For every #NeverTrump diehard out there, there are at least half a dozen people of the “middle”, many of whom have never in their lifetimes considered ANY candidate with an “R” by their name, who will be flocking to the polls this November to darken in the oval, or pull the lever, or otherwise make some sort of affirmation they want The Donald to be their next President.

Probably there shall be even a few disaffected Democrats, in the privacy of the voting booth, who will be choosing The Donald.

Herself will think she has been tasked with cleaning out the Aegean stable, a job that daunted even Hercules. And Herself HATES doing anything dirty or smelly. < /sarcasm >

There are probably still a few people who respect what Ryan thinks ... and we need their votes. As for himself, Ryan better not provide support -- either directly or tacitly -- to whichever socialist the Democrat Party nominates!

Of course he can’t. He’s still hoping that there’s going to be some convention scenario where he can descend from the rafters and fulfill his destiny as Republican Jesus and bring the GOPe Lazarus back from the dead as the nominee.

Not gonna happen now, but he just can’t bring himself to close that door. :D

That means Trump is not in agreement with Ryan’s tax and spend and will not capitulate.

The GOP is trying to hold Trump hostage.

We need to have Trump’s back. Instead some do as their masters wish.

Trumps gonna lose boys and girls...and lose big.Not because he *deserves* to lose but because of the ads that Saul Alinsky's evil spawn will run in the Fall...."Even *Republicans* don't trust him".

It'll be 1964 all over again...symbolically,at least...like the ad the LBJ ran showing a little girl with a flower and then a mushroom cloud in the background.Not everyone here is old enough to recall those ads but Goldwater was *toast* after they were run.

Inherited???? This isn't a monarchy that you are boren in to (unless your name is Bush or Clintoon). Trump EARNED this. Ryan is a real DBag.

Ok Paul, let me get this straight. You can support Obama, Obamacare, and Planned Parenthood, but you cannot support Trump? Wow, way to stand by your convictions! (Sheesh)


What a schmuck...Romney did not do squat to unity the party and there were many who were upset....Ryan keeps goingn on about conservatives wanting to know this and that, yet Ryan is a RINO and approved all Obama administration directives. Sheesh, again!!

“Not being ready yet” is as bad as if Ryan had said he won’t support Trump. It enables the backstabbers to not fall in line!

Exactly, which is why I applaud Huck for coming out NOW and saying we need to support Trump.

Trump needs to send Newt over to Ryan’s house to tell him how it is going to be.
