What kind of signal does it send to loyal Republican voters when even Paul Ryan is not yet ready to endorse their presumptive nominee, Trump?

It’s certainly understandable why neither Cruz nor the Bush family is endorsing Trump considering the demeaning manner in which he treated both Ted and Jeb.

But Ryan was above the fray and not directly a target for Trump’s insults. So, if even he refuses to just hold his nose and fall in line with Trump, what does this say to Republican voters as well as the significant number of “undecideds”?

Is the Republican party going to implode and commit political suicide rather than throw their support to the odious Trump.

If we thought that Ted Cruz was universally disliked by most of his own party, that doesn’t seem to hold a candle to the degree of distaste for “The Donald”

Or do you think that they’re hoping to come up with something to offer him come convention time (a prestigious cabinet position or Ambassadorship or whatever) to get him to drop this “crazy” idea of being President (or being able to function as one without the support of his own party?)

Admittedly that’s just grasping at straws and hardly likely.

This whole mess is getting more and more interesting with each passing day.

I wonder if Ryan is having regrets about his firm decision to not accept being nominated at a contested convention in the halcyon days when a Trump victory was unlikeky? Poor Paul.
