Trump tweeted Wednesday that the campaign unity is “perhaps greater than ever before”.
Donald Trump’s running mate Mike Pence announced he will fully endorse Speaker Ryan in the August 9th primary.
Mike Pence is urging supporters in battleground Colorado to convince their neighbors to vote for Donald Trump. Here’s a look at some of the celebrities supporting the controversial Republican.
Republican frustrations with Trump grew Wednesday as party leaders scrambled to persuade him to abandon divisive tactics that have triggered sinking poll numbers and low morale.
Party chairman Reince Priebus appealed to the NY billionaire’s adult children to help. “Our country needs your ideas, energy and passion”, promising to bring about campaign finance reform, limit executive bonuses, raise minimum wage, take up “affordable healthcare”, support equal pay for women, oppose “unfair trade deals”, and make college education tuition-free for the middle class.
Pence, by contrast, issued a statement saying nothing at all negative about the Khans, while trying to provide some cover for Trump. Trump has exposed deepening party divisions by refusing to endorse GOP House Speaker Paul Ryan’s re-election and continuing to criticize the family of a slain US soldier.
The officials, including one with direct knowledge of Priebus’ thinking, were granted anonymity to discuss internal strategy because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issuer publicly.
He said reports detailing otherwise were part of a media push by Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
The Clinton campaign has $58 million cash-on-hand, the campaign said. He also insisted, “We’ve never been this united”. “I think she should be in prison”, he said. They spend more time going after conservatives than going after Hillary Clinton.
“The candidate is in control of his campaign”, Manafort told the Fox News Network Wednesday afternoon. She touched on the controversy herself on Twitter by writing that she’ll make history by getting Trump elected president.
We spoke with Flake on his concerns about Trump.
“His head is exploding somewhere”, Republican political strategist Kim Alfano said of the GOP party leader.
The real estate magnate’s decision not to back Ryan’s candidacy, or that of Arizona Senator John McCain, another GOP heavyweight who is running for re-election, was severely criticised on Tuesday by the Republican Party.
Clinton’s campaign also released a TV ad Wednesday featuring Trump shrugging off the fact that many of his name-brand products were made overseas in a past interview with David Letterman.
The 30-second spot shows clips of 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, former CIA Director Michael Hayden and others questioning Trump’s temperament and foreign policy experience. “And he’s only 5 or 6 points behind”, Bennett said.
“Trump is still behaving like as though it was the primaries and there were 17 candidates”.
And his loyalists continue to stand behind him.
The Indiana governor told Fox News that it takes a time to build relationships in politics and that was exactly what Trump and Ryan were doing.
