Donald Trump holds two thumbs up during a campaign event at Briar Woods High School on Tuesday in Ashburn, Va. In the past week he has gotten bogged down in a public spat with the parents of an American soldier killed in Iraq.
Republicans are increasingly, and publicly, frustrated with their nominee over an nearly baffling number of decisions like his public feud with the Khan family, and his shock announcement to The Washington Post that he was not ready to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan in his August 9 Wisconsin primary.

“I would say in the last couple of weeks, he has been remarkably underperforming and we’ll see whether or not he can take a deep breath and learn these lessons”, said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Fox Business News.
“It just seems that he’s, at times, hell-bent on losing a very winnable election to a very seriously flawed candidate – Hillary Clinton”, Dent said. “Many are listed as ‘imported,’ and we haven’t come across any that were definitely made in the United States”.
