Donald Trump’s campaign is protesting the Tennessee Republican Party’s slate of delegates to its nominating convention with a senior adviser to the billionaire businessman claiming that state party insiders are appointing anti-Trump delegates to erode his support at the July meeting.

“The woman is a victim in this case as is the life in her womb”, the statement read.
He said it was a “terrible time right now” to invest in the stock market. “He’s gone from being an insurgent that people laughed at and a front-runner that people were amazed by to the potential nominee”.
DICKERSON: But do you have a feeling how they should change?
