Paul Ryan: My constituents’ endorsements are what matters

Donald Trump threw out another stunner to his own party on Tuesday by declaring himself unready to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, the highest-ranking elected Republican, and two other prominent Senate Republicans. John McCain, R-Ariz, speaks during a Phoenix Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona in Phoenix.

President Barack Obama on Tuesday blasted Trump as unfit to be president and questioned why any Republican would support the NY businessman, who is seeking his first public office.

“He is so unpredictable right now, they are so unable to control his message… they clearly think it’s a possibility”, Karl said. We need loyal people in this country.

“You would think we ought to be focusing on Hillary Clinton and all of her deficiencies, she is such a weak candidate that one would think we would be on offense against Hillary Clinton”, remarked Ryan.

Yet Trump’s vice presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, appeared to break with him later in the day during a phone interview with Fox.

Humayun Khan was killed in 2004 while serving in Iraq.

The campaign careened off the rails over the weekend after the Trump picked a fight with the Gold Star parents of a slain Muslim American war hero.

Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump, who swept the Republican Party by storm, is beginning to stagnate: He’s sinking in the polls and has a new scandal wrapped around him almost every day.

He also says the only endorsements he wants are for the voters in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. “He’s irremediable”, said Republican strategist Rick Tyler, who previously worked for Trump adversary Texas Sen. According to The New York Times, Priebus was “livid” upon hearing Trump’s refusal to publicly support Ryan’s re-election bid in Wisconsin; Ryan is expected to win that race, according to recent polls. “But I will do this because I feel I have to in order to defend Republicans and our principles so that people don’t make the mistake of thinking we think like that”, Mr. Ryan said.

“In fact, those security briefings haven’t even started yet that they were supposedly referencing”, he said, referring to national security briefings that both Trump and Clinton will receive from intelligence and defense officials. He said of McCain: “I’ve always felt that he should have done a much better job for the vets”. But Ryan spokesman Zack Roday has previously said the campaign would not get in a “back-and-forth” with Nehlen and added that it had never sought Trump’s endorsement. “The only need we have for intervention is maybe for some media types who keep saying things that aren’t true”.

Also, former Chris Christie aide Maria Comella said she supports Clinton. After Ryan made a decision to postpone his endorsement of Trump in May, Palin went on State of the Union to talk about Ryan.
