The onslaught reflected a major break between right-leaning business interests and the party’s 2016 presidential nominee and demonstrate the possible downside to Trump of running as a protectionist Republican.

Republican National Convention crews are working essentially around the clock to get the Cleveland venue ready for the July 18 start, event organizers said Tuesday, giving a glimpse into the scramble to deliver on what Donald Trump promises will be a star-powered convention like no other.
Trump, in his speech, is expected to portray Clinton as a proponent of globalization and someone who has voiced opposition to trade deals in the past, only to turn around and support them. “But it’s left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache”.
The Business Roundtable, another leading US business organization representing the CEOs of major companies, also weighed in with a Medium post on what candidates are getting wrong on trade – though it’s much less direct than the Chamber and National Association of Manufacturers attacks. Belmont County, for instance, voted Republican in the 2012 presidential race, but voted solidly Democratic for decades before then, including for former President Bill Clinton. Ryan’s the only one of three delegates supporting Trump in her district. However, a Wall Street JournalNBC News poll showed a slimmer lead for Clinton – 46% to Trump’s 41%. In his op-ed, Paulson provides gloomy predictions about a Trump presidency – arguing that Trump’s desire to put an end to the harmful trading practices of foreign partners and stop bad trade deals will “destroy” jobs.
“Hillary Clinton was totally for the TPP just a short while ago, but when she saw my stance, which is totally against, she was shamed into saying she would be against it, too”, Trump said.
What’s clear is that Warren won’t back down, no matter what Trump tosses her way. On the trail, he referred to Clinton as an “outsourcer in chief”.
Those polled thought Clinton did a better job overall of responding to the tragedy at Orlando’s Pulse gay nightclub, by a margin of 46 percent to 28 percent.
Clinton’s shift to the left on trade created an odd dynamic Tuesday.
On Tuesday, the Trump campaign fired off an email with the provocative subject line “Have you heard about the Hillary indictment?”.
By focusing on work that makes our movement stronger, we will be better prepared not just for this election but those in the future as well.
“It is about terrorism and not about religion”, said Trump’s national finance chairman Steven Mnuchin, who was traveling with Trump on a tour in Scotland. Yet when their answers to the poll questions were compared with responses from supporters of other candidates, Trump supporters were always more critical of blacks on personality traits, analysis of the results showed.
But Trump has not only been an outsourcer of jobs – but an enthusiastic supporter of it. If his proposals were to prevail, he would remind CEOs their Mexican-made goods would face a tariff upon being imported into the United States.
Most important, she allows Clinton to step back from the fray and gives everyone a chance to imagine what a two-woman ticket could look like. “Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump opposes the TPP, too, although he says outsourcing creates jobs, so who knows where he really stands”.
However, not all experts were in agreement that Trump’s proposed policies were wrong-headed.
While Clinton and Trump fought for the same populist space, traditional conservative allies jumped in to challenge Trump on the merits of his remarks.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is rebutting Trump’s Pennsylvania speech on trade, saying his policies would lead to millions of job losses and an economic recession.
According to a new Quinnipiac poll, Trump is only trailing by 1 percent in Pennsylvania and is tied with Clinton in Ohio.
Trump has also spent little time in the last week rallying fervent supporters while standing on a teleprompter-less stage.
