Whitman, chief executive officer of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, urged all Republicans to reject Trump, who has “reckless and uninformed positions on critical issues”, according to a statement provided by the company.

Clinton’s campaign viewed Bloomberg, a billionaire Republican and household name, as being able to go toe-to-toe with Trump’s claims he is best suited to run the country given his own business credentials, according to those familiar with the discussions. Still, top Republican lawmakers have not withdrawn their support for Trump as the party’s presidential pick.

Dent added that Rep. Richard Hanna (R-NY) called him Sunday and said he was most likely going to support Hillary Clinton.

As per another poll conducted by CBS News, Ms Clinton leads Mr Trump by seven points. For me, it is not enough to simply denounce his comments: “He is unfit to serve our party and can not lead this country”.

Trump obviously can not accept that his weaknesses are many and glaring, and insists that anyone who points them out is unfairly targeting him.

If you believe that, there’s nothing I can say as a card-carrying member of the mainstream media to convince you otherwise.

In the fallout over Trump’s dispute with the Khans, Republican Senate Majority Leader McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan have also supported the family. “I think these polls – I don’t know – there’s something about these polls, there’s something phony”, he said at a campaign event in Virginia, one day after referring to CNN as the “Clinton News Network”.

“We need much more money than [Clinton’s plan] to rebuild our infrastructure”, Trump said in a Tuesday telephone interview with Varney on his program, Varney & Co.

“I’m never going to agree with every candidate on everything they’re going to say”, Scott said, although he stopped far short of condemning Trump’s comments or acknowledging they were out of line.
