Major Republican leaders, including Republican Sen.

Specifically, they contended that Clinton was responsible for negotiations that led to a $400 million US payment to Iran earlier in the year. “And he’s actually so unsafe as a human being, and for the country’s future, that I think most people are going to run harder against him than we have in the past”. “He’s now doing intentional damage to the party”. Mike Pence is a respected leader of the Indiana Republican Party.
It has been a rough week for Trump.
Actor and director Clint Eastwood, a prominent celebrity supporter of the Republican Party who appeared at its 2012 US presidential nominating convention, offered an alternative view, saying Trump says some “dumb things” but that Americans should get over it.
U.S. Representative Charlie Dent, a Pennsylvania Republican, told MSNBC he could not endorse Trump because of “all these unforced errors” that Trump is making.
The day before, vice presidential nominee Mike Pence broke with Trump and endorsed Ryan.
In just three weeks of being appointed as possible vice president to the NY businessman, Mr Pence and Mr Trump have clashed on everything from trade deals and the ban on Muslims to gay rights, abortion and the Iraq War. “It’s just not the kind of campaign you’d be enthused about”. The same monomania explains the serious political malpractice he committed during the last week by continuing to go after the Khan family for their stinging criticism of him during the Democratic National Convention.
Campaign spokesman Marc Lotter didn’t respond to a request to interview Pence about his relationship with Trump.
Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort told CBS’s “This Morning” that the campaign is comfortable where it stands now and said the news media have built a false narrative in which Democrats are controlling the race to the November 8 election. He says Hillary Clinton has pledged to make that investment.
I saw this in action a few days ago. Trump has already tried to tag Clinton as the candidate of Wall Street and the special interests, and her alliances with wealthy financiers of either party fits right in with that rhetoric.
“If you’re an elected official you have to appeal to them somehow”.
Beruff said he is investing “a couple million” dollars behind an ad promoting his support of Trump. And all this politically incorrect stuff is very popular with the Republican base. “If we see signs that a voting machine or system is more vulnerable to hacking, then we inform those local authorities who are running the elections that they need to be careful”, Obama said. “She’ll be worse than Obama”.
He went on to say that although he disagrees with Clinton on “many issues”, he would vote for her.
He did add, though, that he remained behind Trump after the Khan ordeal.
Trump dismissed suggestions that the GOP frustration was hurting his campaign, even as he openly contemplated an election day loss. Wednesday on Fox News, Gingrich said Trump must “slow down, take a deep breath, and reorganize how he’s operating so he gets to the standard of the potential president of the United States”. “It’s been significantly to his disadvantage”, Gingrich said. “Between that and blaming George W. Bush for 9/11 and all the other sins we’ve seen in the past, Donald Trump for me is beginning to cross a lot of red lines in the unforgivable in politics”.
