“Paul Ryan, I don’t know what happened”, Trump told the crowd of around 1,500 inside an airport hangar.
“I was pinning 40 Vietnam veterans in Sioux City [Iowa] and I was halfway through when someone showed me the news on their iPhone”, King recalled. “It was a surprise to me, and a disappointment”. “He has an extra ability to, in the middle of chaos, sort out the facts” and draw conclusions”.
For many political observers and analysts, Trump’s nomination has been a shocker, as the controversial candidate was just a few months ago predicted to be a flash in the pan.
“He is more critical of trade agreements than many past nominees and he does not share their interventionist inclinations”, West said. “It’s something the party should get solved quickly”.
Trump suggested Saturday that he is going after Bush and Graham again because they, in the aftermath of his in win, are not supporting him.
“In contrast, Hillary Clinton’s proposals essentially double-down on the job killing Obama policies”, he said.
“It’s important for us to take seriously the statements he’s made in the past”, Obama said in remarks to reporters. “I don’t subscribe to that. If you do that, I say, you’re turning the key to the kingdom to the people are on the side of what you were fighting against”. Bush’s father and brother, George Bush and George W Bush, announced earlier in the week that they would not endorse Trump.
In fact, Bush, who ended his White House bid in February after a long – and often personal – battle against Trump, wrote in in a statement posted to Facebook Friday afternoon that he will not be voting for Trump or Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, should they each secure their respective party’s nominations.
Ryan appointed King to chair a House task force on executive powers.
Trump has named a finance chairman, Steven Mnuchin, a private investor with ties to NY and Hollywood who has never led a major political fundraising team.
He said: “I hope to, and I want to”.
“I really think I earned the support from the people”, he told ABC’s “This Week” in excerpts released ahead of Sunday’s broadcast.
Both Trump and Ryan are set to meet together next week in Washington, D.C. Among high-ranking GOP leaders, only House Speaker Paul Ryan has hesitated to fully embrace Trump.
“These views make him anathema to conservative hardliners and those favoring hawkish military positions”, West said.
Clinton’s campaign is trying to gain endorsements from influential Republican leaders, including former elected officials and retired generals, who can help convince voters that she is their best alternative to Trump – a striking turn after Clinton spent the past year trying to mobilize the liberal wing and labor leaders in the Democratic Party. “With millions of people coming into the party, obviously I’m saying the right thing”.

Christie confidant and Republican National Committeeman Bill Palatucci says Trump will also be appearing at a separate event in the same venue benefiting the state party.
