chuck todd is nbc's political director and moderator eet the press." >> morning. >> paul ryan, among the most respected republicans in the country. how big a deal is it that he won't endorse donald trump yet? >> i think it's a big deal but i think there is an actual reason he didn't do it. this is providing cover to other republicans running for re-election in 2016, who are looking for a way to essentially dump trump or distance themselves from him. he has given them cover. he's basically saying, i'm not there yet. when others decide -- maybe some members running for congress may say, i'm not going to endorse him at all, ryan gives them the cover to do that. where he won't get party criticism. if you're doing that, you're criticizing paul ryan. >> how big a problem is it -- we heard peter talking about mitt romney saying, i'm not going to vote. other elite republicans say things along that line. will it really matter and cut into his support among bl
