“I look forward to supporting Republican candidates in the days and weeks ahead all over the country, and so does Donald Trump”, Pence said.

Trump yesterday refused to endorse Ryan, who faces a primary challenge from Paul Nehlen, repeating nearly word for word the language the speaker used this spring when he was reluctant to back the NY billionaire.
“I know she’s given me no support – zero support – and yet I’m leading her in the polls”, Trump said of Ayotte.
President Obama was responding to a question about Donald Trump’s suggestion earlier this week that the November election will rigged after several states were ordered by courts to repeal laws that restricted the types of voter IDs that would be accepted at polling places.
Ryan reaffirmed his support for Donald Trump Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016, in his first comments since the GOP presidential nominee declined to endorse the speaker in an upcoming Republican primary.
Of McCain, whom he’d previously criticized for being taken captive in Vietnam, Trump said: “I’ve never been there with John McCain because I’ve always felt that he should have done a much better job for the vets”. “I strongly support Donald Trump’s brand of leadership”.
Pence’s unambiguous endorsement came the day after his running mate wouldn’t endorse Ryan, but the IN governor said Trump was on board with his move.
Trump reiterated his stand and said he does not regret having criticised the parents of a slain Pakistani-origin American Muslim soldier Humayun Khan who was killed by a suicide bomber in Iraq in 2004.
Ignoring the pleas of his advisers and entreaties from party leaders in Washington, Trump only dug in further Tuesday. “That’s number one. I’m in control of doing the things that he wants me to do in the campaign”.
Trump has troubled many in the Republican establishment with his off-the-cuff, often insulting style, and controversial policies including a proposed ban on the entry of Muslims to the United States and his plan to build a wall along the Mexican border. But Hillary Clinton is hitting him for making many of his products overseas and not in the U.S.

Trump on Wednesday dismissed suggestions that the GOP frustration was hurting his campaign. “I’m afraid the election is going to be rigged”, Trump said yesterday in Columbus, Ohio.
