“Did I approve all of that Donald Trump did or what he said?”. He’s cited an ongoing audit of his finances as the main reason for withholding the information, and also has said he doesn’t believe voters are interested.
Trump has largely self-financed his primary campaign, spending what he estimates to be $45-$50 million dollars so far, supplemented by contributions from supporters. “I got 82 plus percent of the vote from all those Trump people showing up”. Others, including Trump’s former primary rival Marco Rubio, have ruled out being considered. He obviously wasn’t my first shot because I was running for president.

“In Pennsylvania, Clinton’s 19-point lead among women matches Trump’s 21-point margin among men”, he said. One GOP Senator in a hot re-election race, Pennsylvania’s Pat Toomey, wrote an op-ed Sunday criticizing Trump and indicating he isn’t ready to support him. Meanwhile white voters said they would vote for him 49 to 32 percent while non-white voters said they would vote for Clinton 76 to 14 percent.
Offering a defense of Ryan Monday was his friend and fellow Wisconsinite, Reince Priebus, who as chair of the Republican National Committee is trying to bring his party together behind its nominee. “Trump could make use of that RNC data if he wished”. The New York billionaire’s bare-bones campaign has glaring deficiencies the party apparatus is uniquely positioned to address.
