“Some of the controversial statement he’s made, for example, not disavowing David Duke when he had the opportunity to do so, he seems like he would be a lightning rod”, Cornyn said of Trump.
On Tuesday, the moderate Republican governor wouldn’t tell reporters who he voted for in the state’s presidential primary, only that it wasn’t Trump or Texas Sen.
“So let me make it perfectly clear”.
Trump subsequently disavowed Duke, blaming his interview performance Sunday on a bad earpiece.
Baker would’t say what he would do if Trump were nominated.
MA is one of a dozen states with presidential contests on Tuesday. “The Supreme Court vacancy, if nothing else, ought to cause people to reach that conclusion, so whatever people need to do in their individual races on order to maintain that majority, I wholeheartedly support”, Cornyn said.
Baker votes at First Church on Monument Avenue, the polling location for Precinct 4, according to the Swampscott elections department.
“I’ve always said I was going to support the nominee, I’m hopeful I’ll be able to support the nominee”, Senator Richard Burr, a Republican from North Carolina, told reporters when asked if he would support a Candidate Trump.
Ryan, the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee, bemoaned the current discourse in the GOP and said it was time to get back to focusing on how Republicans would solve the nation’s problems.
“Why can’t the leaders of the Republican Party see that I am bringing in new voters by the millions – we are creating a larger, stronger party!” He said “70 percent of his support comes from people who want to deport them all and want to ban all Muslims”.
Trump’s campaign has capitalized on outrageous claims about immigration, women, minorities, and terrorism, seemingly striking a chord with conservative voters and even some establishment types, like New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who endorsed Trump Friday. He said he’s “not much of a fan of Hillary Clinton”, but did not elaborate. But he declined to weigh in on questions about Trump, saying, “I’m not going to talk about it any further than that”, quipping on his way into a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans, “I’m going in here because if I don’t say something stupid to these questions, I might win”.
There will be some Republicans desperate enough for a third option that they will favor running an independent conservative candidate. Ryan reiterated his past stated commitment to support the nominee.

“The reality is that Republican leaders are reaping what they’ve sown”, Reid said, recounting seven years’ worth of staunch Republican opposition to Obama’s initiatives.
