The first-term senator also criticized Trump’s comments about Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is presiding over one of the fraud cases involving Trump University. The businessman has railed against Hispanics since he launched his campaign, infamously stated that some undocumented immigrants were “rapists” and “criminals”.

Likely Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton said Saturday the San Diego federal judge criticized for being of Mexican ancestry is “as much of an American as Donald Trump”. Sure, Republicans may say their ultimate goal is to stop Hillary Clinton, but to replace her with what?
Ryan has told reporters that advancing a legislative agenda in the final months of the Obama White House would be a fruitless endeavor.
Trump’s comments against the judge horrified many supporters, but the real estate mogul rebuffed efforts by campaign staff, donors, and party officials to back off the incendiary claim this weekend, per sources, telling them he was unwilling to look like he had caved to pressure. “Because when we come to Washington, D.C.in January and Donald Trump assumes the presidency of the United States, the whole country and certainly the government will be on notice that things are going to change”. But what matters to me is the agenda we’re going to be producing.
Despite Ryan’s own message that he will be making policy and making Trump sign it, the reality seems to be the opposite.
“I do. I do, ‘ McConnell told CNN Thursday”. “I don’t think he is strictly an outright racist like some of your Ku Klux Klan”.
More than half of American adults believe Clinton can get things done, at 56 percent, while about half say she would work well with both parties in Washington, at 51 percent, and that she is a strong and decisive leader, at 51 percent, Gallup found. Most Republicans in Congress have followed Ryan’s plan to reduce the cost of the popular programs, which are contributing to the national debt.
Pelosi told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “I’m a voter in California and I have voted for Hillary Clinton for president of the United States and proud to endorse her for that position”.
McConnell acknowledged Sunday that he is anxious that Trump’s comments about Curiel will further alienate Latino voters, whom Trump has already angered by referring to undocumented immigrants from Mexico as murderers and rapists and vowing to build a wall to keep them out.
“We’re different people”, Ryan said.
The two also break on immigration. But Trump said he “absolutely wants us to talk about the case”, said one participant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to discuss a private call. “I think if we go into the fall as a divided party, we are doomed to lose”. His mentor, the late Jack Kemp, a House member for 18 years who served as Housing secretary and ran as the GOP’s vice presidential nominee in 1996, inspired numerous ideas that targeted poor and disadvantaged communities through tax breaks and other incentives. Curiel was born in IN to Mexican-born parents – making him, in Trump’s view, “a hater of Donald Trump”.
As the GOP’s “Never Trump” movement struggled to identify a viable alternative, many believed it was only a matter of time before Ryan fell in line. It won’t be Ryan implementing Trump’s agenda or Trump implementing Ryan’s agenda, Trump said.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-North Carolina, who is up for reelection, said he disagrees with Trump’s comments but added that Republicans are “spending a lot of time talking about our differences with our nominee”.
