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.

If Ryan doesn’t come out enthusiastically for Trump following their meeting he deserves to be destroyed.

That rat bastard globalist puke deserves destruction for a half dozen other more important reasons.

He was Gingrich “ right hand man” when they wrote the first one. He doesn’t have to be involved with the final product but pick his brain to see how the initial outline was formed

[RC one]

It’s all good television.

[Karl Spooner]

Ryan is as stubborn as the mayor of London.

Ryan is a footnote to the meeting. The meeting isn't about Ryan, it is how Trump and the GOP can work together to advance Trump's candidacy, and defeat the DEMs. Trump isn't going to be taking "tone" or "message" advice from the RNC. The meeting is on coordination of two organizations to advance a candidate.

Ryan's fate is separate from that. He can be "in" or "out," doesn't matter to Trump.

Looks like this is going to be be a very bad year for Paul Ryan

For a variety of reasons, including inviting an invasion of Syrian muslims (and terrorists).

Ryan already knows the Freedom Caucus isn't serious...

But for the wisdom of the Founding Fathers. These sellouts have to face the voters every two years. They're seeing Paul Ryan not with just a minor nuisance of a primary challenger, but instead a hugely popular guy getting funds from all over the US and having active support from Sara Palin. That has to put fear into the gutless wonders.

[MichaelCorleone]

Agreed.

[austinaero]

Remember Ryan wanted all deals worked out before he would agree to be Speaker.

He’s playing the same, stupid game here.

He’s going to be too late. His challenger, Paul Nehlen has already endorsed Trump.

Isn’t Ryan supposed to be considered a “leader”?
(snort!)

[hal ogen]

It is difficult for guys like ryan to admit they are losers...and I don’t mean just in politics.

[bigbob]

THey want on the Trump Train!

He thinks this can last.

There is a storm coming Mr. Ryan.

You and your Friends better batten down the hatches.

Because when it hits, you are all going to wonder how you ever thought to live so Large and leave so little for the rest of us.

[Forty-Niner]

Ryan is immaterial. He will lose reelection. All in all a deeply flawed politician who represents neither his home district constituents nor the larger American people. Off he goes! Too bad, so sad......

"Was chosen by a coward to run a coward’s race for the Presidency. Chosen by about 700,000 182,316 citizens in ONE SINGLE DISTRICT to represent them..."

[jacknhoo]

Hear, hear!

[OldNavyVet]

I see Donald Trump as the second best United States President after Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln freed American Slaves, and Trump will - essentially - free American welfare slaves.

[Gaffer]

Okay....but the average number of citizens (according to my browser) is 700,000

But were we told all of these feckless worms were running away from Trump?
