Trump also read from his hostage script an endorsement of Sens. But he then endorsed the Arizona and New Hampshire senators in their primary races.

The endorsement came after Trump shocked the GOP establishment earlier this week by declining to endorse Ryan in his primary election next Tuesday. He reiterated his support for Trump hours before the endorsement, but he noted that his support wasn’t a “blank check” and pledged to speak out against the businessman’s divisive positions if necessary. The snub was particularly notable since Ryan delayed his own endorsement of Trump. It was a remarkable breach of protocol for the party’s White House nominee to withhold support from its most powerful member of Congress.
It’s been a long journey for Trump, however, who told the Washington Post on Tuesday: “I like Paul, but these are terrible times for our country. He’s a good man”, Trump added, flashing a grin and two thumps up to a crowd in applause.
By his side was running mate Mike Pence, who praised Trump’s off the cuff style that’s found the campaign in hot water.

Arm in arm, we will rescue the nation from the Obama-Clinton disaster that has bled our country dry and has spread terrorism unabated across the world”.
Trump has praised Putin as a great leader, and taken policy positions “consistent with Russian, not American, interests”, including endorsing Russian espionage against United States figures like Clinton, Morell said. And I’m just not quite there.
In a Tuesday interview with the Washington Post, Mr Trump declined to endorse Mr Ryan, and said that he liked the congressman’s challenger. “What I say to him privately and what I’ve said publicly is Hillary Clinton is the one to focus on, not another Republican, not a private citizen criticizing you”. “It’s going to be an all-encompassing look at how we reform the economy”, Moore said.
Palin backed Nehlen in May in response to Ryan saying he wasn’t yet ready to support Trump.
“If Hillary Clinton becomes president”, he said at an earlier rally in Iowa, “you will have really, in my opinion, the destruction of this country from within”. I know she’s given me no support – zero support – and yet I’m leading her in the polls. “He is a longtime friend”.
“I’m not going to try and psychoanalyze this stuff”, the House speaker told Weber.
“I feel confident he would help us turn the ideas in this agenda into laws to help improve people’s lives”.

“I’m just going to rise above this stuff, and I’m not going to get involved in some petty back and forth, I see no objective in that”.
