Donald Trump: "We have tremendous support from almost everybody" -- but not Paul Ryan

Donald Trump has clinched the Republican presidential nomination. While Trump has had the nomination locked down for weeks, he has now reached the threshold of 1,237 delegates with the help of previously uncommitted delegates who now support his candidacy.

But even that wasn't enough to get House Speaker Paul Ryan's support.

It appears Ryan is growing tired of the Trump questions -- giving short answers Thursday, May 26th when asked about the GOP nominee.

And it's not just Ryan. Governor Scott Walker is defending a fellow governor against Trump's attacks.

"We have tremendous support from almost everybody," Trump said.

A triumphant Donald Trump said Thursday he is ready for the general election. Yet top Republicans, like Ryan, still aren't behind hi.

"I spoke with Paul Ryan (Wednesday) night. We had a very good conversation. It`s moving along. He`s a good man. We`ll see how that works out. We had a very good talk," Trump said, offering no further elaboration on their discussion.

On Capitol Hill Thursday, Ryan was also mum about the Wednesday night phone call.

"We had a very good and very productive phone call. I`ll leave it at that. We had a very productive phone call," Ryan said.

Ryan's team says Trump shouldn't expect the speaker's endorsement.

"What I`m most concerned about is making sure we have real party unity, not pretend party unity," Ryan said.

Trump got Governor Walker's endorsement, but only because Walker pledged last year to support the eventual nominee. After Trump attacked New Mexico's Republican Gov. Susana Martinez for doing a bad job, Walker came to her defense.

Walker told reporters in Green Bay Thursday that Trump had made it more difficult for Republicans to support him by attacking New Mexico’s Republican governor for not doing a good job.

“If I was advising Donald Trump’s campaign, I’d tell him you should actually embrace Republican governors in swing states,” Walker said. “That’s the best path toward victory.”

Walker said he continues to support Trump over likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Referring to Clinton’s email controversy, Walker said Clinton “flat-out lies.”

Mordecai Lee, professor at UWM, expects Wisconsin Republicans will eventually get behind Trump, even if they're not now.

"Donald Trump was the outlier. He was the outsider. Then he gets the nomination, and people who are authentically committed to the ideology of being a conservative are kind of shocked. They don't know what to do," Lee said.

A Republican polling firm released a survey this week that showed Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 12 points in Wisconsin.
