The Harvard Republicans’ disavowal of Trump comes after the GOP nominee repeatedly attacked the family of a fallen Muslim-American soldier, questioning the legitimacy of USA elections, kicked a crying baby out of his rally, and told the Washington Post he would not endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan, Sen.

Just days after saying he was “not quite ready” to endorse Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, Republican nominee offered his endorsement of Ryan while campaigning in Ryan’s home state of Wisconsin Friday evening.
Clinton said she will bring the country together.
Both the Republican nominees had criticised Mr Trump’s deeply controversial attack on the parents of a slain Muslim American soldier.
The 11-year-old who made national headlines this week for questioning Mike Pence about Donald Trump’s rhetoric said on Friday that he “wasn’t trying to be hostile” and emphasized his support for the Republican presidential nominee.
The refusal to back Ryan had been seen by many as a final straw.
Trump came to New Hampshire a day after endorsing New Hampshire senator Kelly Ayotte in her re-election campaign, despite criticizing her several days earlier.
“I hold in the highest esteem Sen”.
Trump also threw his support behind Arizona Sen.
The biggest prize among the 2016 swing states is Florida with 29 electoral votes, along with Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado, Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire to lesser degrees.
Since his endorsement, Ryan has called out Trump numerous times.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker skipped the evening rally, preferring to attend all-you-can-eat spaghetti dinner instead of appearing with his party’s standard bearer.
Trump’s approach to national security came under fire Friday as well, with former CIA Director Michael Morell contending the Republican nominee would make “a poor, even unsafe commander in chief”.
The Midwest mayhem underscored Trump’s mounting challenges during one of the most tumultuous weeks of his unorthodox campaign.
But Trump’s assault on Clinton’s character also came as he himself faced stinging criticism from top United States officials, including a damning editorial on Friday in which the former acting head of the CIA, Michael Morell, a well-respected and non-partisan figure, endorsed Clinton and warned that Trump “is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security”. “Here is a president who has taken the economy, and contrary to Mrs. Clinton, doesn’t deserve an “A” for what he’s done”, Mr. Manafort said.
She argued that a broad victory, one that included Democrats winning control of the Senate and tightening their margin in the House, would put pressure on Republicans to come along. “She’s weak. She’s a weak person”.
Looming over Clinton’s appearance in front of a ballroom full of journalists in Washington, D.C., was her relative lack of interactions with reporters.
Clinton started the week with a hefty flub Sunday when she told Fox News’s host Chris Wallace that Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey had agreed that her answers about her emails were truthful. “I think we have three overarching goals: we need more economic opportunity, we need to protect our national security and we have got to work toward American unity”, she said. “He makes news when he tosses red meat out to people … but that’s going to drive even more people away” from his message.
“It doesn’t make me feel good when people say those things, and I recognize that I have work to do”, Clinton said.

On Friday, Clinton maintained, “I never sent or received anything marked classified”, while acknowledging that some material she sent may retroactively have been considered classified by other government agencies.
