And the newspaper reports that “a majority of Trump backers said they see their decision as a vote against Clinton” as opposed to a vote for Trump.

Ms Clinton sought to take advantage of Mr Trump’s dip in the polls at a conference of minority journalists in Washington, where she pledged an all-out fight for comprehensive immigration reform if she wins the election. “I also fully support and endorse Sen”.
On Friday, he called Ayotte “a rising star” who “will continue to represent the great people of New Hampshire so very well for a long, long time”.
In perhaps the most egregious example, Trump criticized the parents of a Muslim soldier killed in Iraq in 2004. Very important. We’ll work together.
“I like Paul, but these are frightful times for our country”, Trump told the Post.
Trump may have done irreversible damage in two critical states, Arizona and OH, with an approach to immigration reform that some say is divisive, two fellow Republicans say.
It got worse Friday with criticism from Michael Morell, a 33-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency who served presidents of both parties and helmed the agency in 2011, but announced his support for Clinton. “You would think you ought to be focusing on Hillary Clinton – on all of her deficiencies”.
It was a stunning reversal for Trump, a candidate who is known for his refusal to admit mistakes and whose general election campaign has been defined by his constant attacks on fellow Republicans.
“I understand and embrace the wisdom of Ronald Regan’s big tent within the party”.
Trump’s endorsement comes after a protracted battle between himself and Ryan, which began when the Speaker refused to endorse the GOP nominee in May. “So I may have short-circuited it and for that I, you know, will try to clarify”, said Clinton.
“In one way, she’s a monster”, he said in Wisconsin.
This came soon after Mrs Clinton addressed her own political vulnerabilities while facing a group of minority journalists in Washington. Still, Ryan’s campaign said in a statement “he appreciates the gesture”. “I’m not there right now”, Ryan replied. “I like people that weren’t captured”.
“In the intelligence business, we would say that Mr. Putin had recruited Mr. Trump as an unwitting agent of the Russian Federation”, wrote Morell.

Another problem cited by top Wisconsin Republicans has been the lack of Trump targeting his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton in the wake of last month’s GOP National Convention.
