“Trump’s continuing missteps, punctuated by his outrageous and indefensible comments about Judge Curiel, make that goal much more hard to achieve”, said Lanhee Chen, a senior adviser to former presidential candidate Marco Rubio and a senior fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution. “Listen to me guys, you embrace a guy making racist comments”.

“I am beginning to think Trump will not be the Republican candidate for president this year”. Those 35 days have been filled with self-inflicted wounds – the latest being Trump’s insistence that a judge of Mexican descent is biased against him because he has said he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico if he is elected – and mounting evidence that the real estate mogul has absolutely no plans to change the brash and bullying approach that won him the GOP primary.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a potential Trump vice presidential running mate, was spotted at Trump Tower in NY before Trump’s statement was issued.
A rough week of campaigning has pushed Trump behind Clinton in the polls.
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the first senator to endorse Trump, at first tried to avoid commenting Tuesday on Trump’s remarks about the judge.
Donald Trump has ignored the pleas of Republican leaders to cease his attacks on a Mexican-American federal judge who is presiding over lawsuits against Trump University.
“Over the past few weeks, I have watched as the media has reported one inaccuracy after another concerning the ongoing litigation involving Trump University”, he said in the statement, adding that the “media has failed to report” several facts.
USA presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump kicked off a fierce general election battle, with Democrats accusing Trump of erratic behaviour and the Republican threatening to bring up old Clinton scandals.
Hillary Clinton told NBC News’ Lester Holt on Wednesday that she will not go insult-for-insult with Donald Trump in what has already been a nasty general election campaign. They have made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favours, selling government contracts. Clinton has also been called inconsistent on such issues as the TPP. Another influence, GOP consultant Roger Stone, is known for peddling conspiracy theories about the Clintons.
“The Clintons have turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form for themselves”.
Clinton said she is unconcerned with all of it. “I wonder if the press will want to attend, who knows”, he said. “I don’t intend to respond to them because this is his, this is his modus operandi”.
For example, when asked Wednesday about the upcoming Summer Olympics in Brazil, she offered a lengthy assessment of the public health crisis caused by the Zika virus.
“I’m going to defend our ideas, I’m going to defend our majority, and I think our likelihood of getting these ideas into law are far more likely if we are unified as a party”, Ryan said.
The situation with the judge is different, Williams said. “This is not just about Rio and the Olympics, this is about a potential outbreak and epidemic”. Crimson Hexagon, a social media software analytics company, similarly concluded in a study that Trump received a mix of positive and negative print coverage similar to that of other major candidates-about the same as Democrat Bernie Sanders. She wouldn’t offer any hints of what kinds of concessions her campaign might be willing to give the Vermont senator in the party platform.

The two campaigns and the Democratic National Committee are beginning the process of drafting the policy on which Democrats are to rally around in the fall election. Two serious contenders for the Republican nomination were the sons of Cuban immigrants, and on the Democratic side, a woman is poised to win the nomination – a first – over a credible challenge by a Jewish democratic socialist who enjoyed the most electoral success by someone from that slice of the political spectrum since Eugene V. Debs a century ago. “It’s time that we move forward and unite the party”.
