The trio have all played advisory roles for the Trump operation.

Trump’s rebuke to Ryan carried particular derision.
It happened again when, earlier this month, Pence maintained the US would “absolutely” defend its North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies, crossing the stated stance of Trump, who told The New York Times he would only uphold the nation’s North Atlantic Treaty Organisation obligations if other members in the critical alliance “properly reimbursed” the USA for its protection.
Pence said he spoke with Trump on Wednesday morning, and the GOP presidential nominee “strongly encouraged me to endorse Paul Ryan in next Tuesday’s primary”, Pence said.
Pence told the Fox News Channel that Trump supported his decision to back Ryan as they work to unite the Republican Party.
Trump also reignited his long-simmering feud with Sen. John McCain in their primary battles. “Trump is helping her to win by proving he is more unacceptable than she is”. McCain is a decorated Vietnam War veteran and former prisoner of war who now serves as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee. “Beat Crooked H!” the Republican nominee wrote on Twitter early on Wednesday, referring to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. He characterized Trump as “unfit to serve”. Hanna is not running for reelection. Priebus has been speaking with campaign chairman Paul Manafort and the billionaire’s children, who are said to agree that Trump needs to stop picking fights within his own party, according to a Republican official with knowledge of the conversations.
“I$3 f there is some little Muslim woman who loses a son, you can’t”, O’Reilly told Trump Tuesday night. And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was among the final three contenders to be Trump’s running mate, admitted that the candidate has pursued a pattern of “self-destructive” behavior since both parties’ conventions ended last month.
Donald Trump was out stumping in Jacksonville, Florida, Wednesday as fellow Republicans at the highest levels of his party seem to be holding their collective breath – hoping to not hear what they’d see as another gaffe from the GOP presidential nominee. “And he’s only 5 or 6 points behind”, Bennett said.
Manafort stressed that the campaign has now installed a director in every state as it pushes forward to November. The campaign is also working to expand the map into traditional GOP turf including Utah and Georgia. So Trump aides are comfortable with Pence putting out statements that create distance from Trump. The Republican presidential nominee also questioned the mother’s silence, insinuating that Ghazala Khan wasn’t allowed to speak during the speech because she is Muslim.
Trump and his campaign appear nonplussed.

“There is great unity in my campaign, perhaps greater than ever before”, the real estate mogul tweeted on August 3. “I’m in control of doing the things that he wants me to do”. Daily, we observe those who follow their better angels, Lincoln’s Americans whom the soulless Republicans and Mr. Trump think can be fooled by hate-filled rhetoric.
