Home to both Speaker Ryan and national GOP Chairman Reince Priebus, Wisconsin is a fitting backdrop to the discord over Trump roiling the party right now, as the nominee’s polling numbers tumble.

While Trump publicly praised Nehlen for running “a very good campaign” earlier this week, Ryan is expected to win the primary by a landslide. Party identification is very stable, and there is no reason to expect any real swings during that period; thus, it seems that about two-thirds of the Clinton-Trump swing in the polls comes from changes in response rates.
Having refused to endorse the speaker earlier in the week, Trump said, “We have to unite” as he vowed to support Ryan in next week’s primary contest.
“So, you go after a Scott Walker and a Paul Ryan, you don’t add to the number of voters that you need to win Wisconsin, you detract from them …”

The group relies heavily on hedge fund managers and investment bankers, a group Trump has railed against in the past, and includes no women. There are no women on the team. On Tuesday, when a baby repeatedly cried as Trump delivered a speech in Virginia, the nominee came across as unprepared. Donald Trump’s candidacy is accelerating the shift in Georgia.
“Sure there are some Democrats who think we’ve got it in the bag”.
At events in Des Moines, Iowa, and Green Bay, Trump showed discipline that is unusual at his often free-wheeling rallies, calling Clinton the “queen of corruption” and defending himself against her charge that he is temperamentally unfit for the White House. “And the reasons for that are many and varied and I’m not going to go into them”, said Steve King, a member of the Republican National Committee from Wisconsin who helped run the GOP convention. “If he opposes Clinton, as he says he does, he’s by definition supporting not only Trump, but the policies and values Trump would bring to the White House”.
“If you don’t like me”.
It is not a surprise when self-reported partisans come around to their party’s candidate, nor are we claiming the conventions had no impact on attitudes. “All I can say is ‘hope'”.
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.
Hillary Clinton on Friday doubled down on recent misleading statements about her use of a private email server at the State Department, even as she acknowledged that she “may have short-circuited” her answers about it.
The email controversy has fueled a perception among a majority of voters that Clinton is untrustworthy.
He says he will continue to speak out to condemn Trump’s comments when necessary.
Toomey, who is in a tough re-election race, is one of a handful of Republican senators who have not endorsed Trump.
MI is considered a battleground this year, though a Republican presidential candidate hasn’t won the state since George H.W. Bush in 1988.
