I'm so curious about what was said at that meeting he and Trump had that made him go from "No" to "Yes" in a day. Trump can't be that charismatic can he?

House Speaker Paul Ryan defended his endorsement of Donald Trump at a CNN town hall on Tuesday -- despite his frequent differences with the presumptive GOP nominee.

"It is a binary choice," Ryan said at the event hosted by Jake Tapper. "It is either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. You don't get a third option."

Yet when an audience member asked how Ryan could support a candidate who was "Openly racist," Ryan reiterated his stance that opposing Trump amounts to supporting Clinton.

The best chance for conservatives to have their priorities signed into law is with Trump in the White House, Ryan said, pointing to the ability of the next president to nominate Supreme Court justices.

"The next person on the Supreme Court will shape this court probably for a generation," he said. Ref. CNN.

Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan on Friday, days after saying he wasn't "Quite there" yet.

"We will have disagreements, but we will disagree as friends and never stop working together toward victory. And very importantly, toward real change," Trump said, reading off notes at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "So in our shared mission, to make America great again, I support and endorse our Speaker of the House Paul Ryan."

Trump earlier in the week had declined to endorse Ryan, as well as Sens. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte. But after endorsing Ryan, Trump then endorsed the Arizona and New Hampshire senators in their primary races, too.

"While I'm at it, I hold in the highest esteem Sen. John McCain for his service to our country in uniform and in public office, and I fully support and endorse his re-election. I also fully support and endorse Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire." Ref. CNN.
