WASHINGTON • Rep. Ann Wagner said Thursday that her Republican Party’s presumptive nominee “has to earn my vote, and Donald Trump has not earned my vote.”

Her refusal to endorse came within hours of House Speaker Paul Ryan telling CNN that he also had not made a decision to support Trump.

Thursday’s pronouncements are illustrative of the Republican establishment’s wariness about the man who is on the verge of the political equivalent of a hostile takeover of the GOP.

Wagner, R-Ballwin, a member of the U.S. House Republican leadership and a top recruiter of female candidates for her party, cited Trump’s blistering remarks on women, immigrants, a Vietnam POW and the Bush family and a lack of clearly expressed conservative principles as central to her unwillingness to get behind Trump.

She said the likely choices for president, Trump on the Republican side and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, make her sad for the country, because both have so many flaws. But unlike a smattering of well-known Republicans who have announced they’ll vote for Clinton in November, Wagner told the Post-Dispatch the latter was not an option.
