Senator McCain, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said in a strongly worded statement that Mr Trump did not have “unfettered licence to defame the best among us”. “He is unrepentant in all things”. This came after one of the most tumultuous weeks of Trump’s presidential campaign.

“I like Paul, but these are awful times for our country”, Trump said. John McCain and Mitt Romney – but never an outright sense they were unfit to serve.
Newt Gingrich, the former House speaker who has advised Trump, said the candidate’s inability to back away from a political land mine “makes him vulnerable”.
“Hillary Clinton put the whole country at risk with her illegal email server, deleted evidence of her crime, and lied repeatedly about her conduct which endangered us all”.

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, who has endorsed Trump but has not received a reciprocal endorsement from the NY businessman, told WTAQ radio host Jerry Bader in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that Trump has “had a pretty unusual run since the convention”. “We are confident in a victory next week regardless”.

Despite all the controversies, the Donald Trump campaign continued to lure contributions to his campaign, stating today that they were able to raise in excess of $56 million.
