His comments on several networks came a few hours after Trump, once dismissed as a fringe contender, became all-but certainly the leader of the Republican Party into the fall campaign against Clinton.
Trump will now turn his attention toward the general election against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – a more uphill fight than he had in the primary contest he dominated for much of the past year.
He won his 18th victory Tuesday night in IN and vows to stay in the race until the convention.
In a fascinating exchange Thursday, Speaker Paul Ryan told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he wasn’t ready to back Trump’s nomination, that he expected the nominee to unify the GOP and conservatives and looked to him to run a campaign that Americans will be “proud to support and proud to be a part of”.
Trump and Clinton also suffer from the fact that they are so well known, said Zaino.
“The answer is simple: No”, Tweeted Nebraska Sen. He also said he was “a capable guy” who he’d consider including in his administration. Trump responded that Cruz “really competed hard and tough”.
Earlier this week, Clinton said in an interview on MSNBC that Sanders “has every right to finish out this primary season”. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in a statement Friday afternoon, slamming the former presidential candidate for announcing that he will not vote for him. Cruz had counted on winning IN in an effort halt Trump’s seemingly unstoppable rise to the nomination.
It’s a painful choice for many lifelong Republicans, especially when the likely Democratic nominee is someone they have opposed for decades. They had previously supported past GOP presidential nominees John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012. He added Clinton’s slogan: “I’m with her”. “Not a name in mind, but I do like the political sphere”.
Trump characterized Graham as a “poor representative” and said he is “an embarrassment to the great people of SC”.
“As I suspend my campaign today, I have renewed faith, a deeper faith, that the Lord will show me the way forward and fulfill the goal of my life”, Kasich said.
“Nobody has ever done more with less in the history of politics”, he said. “I’m not running for president to make things unstable for the country”.
To most Republicans Trump’s views are heterodox, to say the least – the platform would need significant massaging to appease both Trump and longtime conservative activists.

He would need 65 percent of all remaining pledged delegates and 82 percent of all delegates – including remaining super delegates – to surpass Clinton overall, according to NPR. Even Clinton’s historically high unfavorable numbers, which hover around 55 percent, are topped by Trump’s record negative numbers, which are near 70 percent. But Clinton already has turned her attention to the general election.
