REPUBLICAN Party infighting over presidential nominee Donald Trump’s divisive and combative comments provided advertising material yesterday for supporters of Democrat Hillary Clinton to declare that Mr Trump is unfit to be president. “We’ve sort of had a rule of not getting involved in primaries because it’s usually not a good situation for the presidential candidate”.

While Hanna said he disagrees on many issues with Clinton, “she stands and has stood for causes bigger than herself for a lifetime”.
A leader of an overseas Republican group says she is growing concerned about Donald Trump. Since the conclusion of last month’s Republican National Convention, Trump has struggled to stabilize his campaign moving forward, and his unpredictable behavior is making Republicans nervous.
“I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices”.
Trump may be one of the world’s best-known members of the club of the super-rich, but some of his fellow billionaires have been turning on him. The party chairman and the Trump confidants, as well as numerous GOP lawmakers, have been particularly irked by the candidate’s repeated criticism of an American Muslim family whose son, a U.S. Army captain, was killed in Iraq. “We’re going to focus more on Hillary Clinton”.
Pence’s endorsement, which came in a phone call to Fox News Channel, came as Trump and his aides struck back against reports of panic inside the Republican Party and word that the Ryan controversy infuriated party Chairman Reince Priebus.
Priebus joined a handful of high-profile Trump allies in considering whether to confront the candidate directly following a series of startling stances and statements with Election Day quickly approaching. Trump also asserted that the Republican Party had changed the delegate allocation in the Florida primary to favor a native candidate, like Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio, at Trump’s expense. He strongly encouraged me to endorse Paul Ryan in next Tuesday’s primary.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says that President Barack Obama has confidence in the America’s electoral process and everybody else should too. An anonymous source told NBC News that the RNC Chair is “apologetic” and now in talks with the Trump campaign in an effort to smooth things over.
Clinton, meanwhile, kept up her assault on Trump’s business practices, holding up a Trump-branded tie as she spoke at the Knotty Tie Company in battleground Colorado.
The letter, published Monday on VoteVets.org, comes amid a chorus of criticism in response to Trump’s burgeoning feud with the Khan family, which began after Khizr Khan, the father of slain Army Cpt.
Trump has angered his party’s leadership by refusing to endorse Ryan or Sen. Trump is backed by all but two vulnerable GOP senators – Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is still in a “wait and see” mode, and Mark Kirk of IL, who withdrew his endorsement after Trump’s attacks on a USA judge of Mexican heritage.
Priebus, a close friend of Ryan, is deeply irritated by Trump’s recent actions and his unwillingness to accept guidance from senior advisers. “But, no, we’re doing very well”.
Obama did not mention Trump by name but pilloried him for praising Saddam Hussein for killing terrorists, saying the late Iraqi leader’s “brutality must be condemned, never praised”.
Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday that he’s “not quite there yet”, when asked whether he is backing Ryan against a Tea Party challenger.
And while Clinton accepted her nomination in the state’s reliably Democratic southeast corner, Trump’s visits – here and to Scranton last Wednesday – were in pockets of Pennsylvania where Republicans and conservatives have greater appeal.

Republicans are reportedly debating whether to challenge Trump during the midst of his eccentric behaviour. Clinton raised about $90 million over the same period.
