Conservative House Republicans have complained to House Speaker Paul Ryan that he and other party leaders are being too negative about presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The comments came in a conference call Monday. Two people involved in the call said California Rep. Dana Rohrabacher called Republican leaders "cowards" and said they must stop their defeatist attitude about Trump's chances.
Another person involved in the call said the head of the Republicans campaign organization, Greg Walden of Oregon, noted that Trump's poll numbers have been falling since his first debate with Hillary Clinton. The person said Walden said he expects even more erosion in Trump's numbers now.
The people on the call spoke on condition of anonymity because the call was private.
