Paul Ryan: My support for Donald Trump is not a "blank check"

Speaker Paul Ryan suggested Thursday that his endorsement of Donald Trump for president is not written in stone.

In a radio interview with WTAQ's "The Jerry Bader Show," the Wisconsin Republican was asked if there would ever be a bridge too far when it comes to the GOP presidential nominee.

"None of these things are ever blank checks," said Ryan, who then added that Trump won the Republican nomination "fair and square" from the voters and delegates.

At the beginning of the interview, Bader asked Ryan how he can continue to walk such a fine line from now until the election of still backing Trump, while constantly criticizing his remarks.

"We are a party where the grassroots Republican primary voter selects our nominee. That's as it should be. That is what it is. I think something should be said about respecting those voters," Ryan said. "He won it fair and square."

Ryan brushed off Trump's comment from earlier this week in which Trump said he's "not quite there yet" as far as endorsing Ryan for reelection. Ryan said he's only interested in endorsements from employers in his congressional district. Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign chairman, told "CBS This Morning" on Thursday that Trump plans to support Ryan.

Good point but won’t happen with Republicans voting for Ryan. It will happen however with Democrats voting for Ryan. His district is primarily Democrats.

You sound like minister Khan blaming Trump. Ryan’s adult existence has been to use his elected office to enact social justice redistribution of this nation’s wealth. Paul Ryan could not win WI in 2012.. Paul Ryan could not survive if he was required to do an honest day’s work. He only knows how to take other people’s money and calls it charity. Do you have any clue the entitlements Ryan’s Syrian Rebels receive from ‘we the people’.

Blaming Trump is so progressive.
