Illinois GOP reaffirms support for Trump

“Details to follow”, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee tweeted on Wednesday night. A national ad campaign by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee played heavily in Coffman’s district. Someone like Indiana Gov. Mike Pence or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich would be helpful, while if he picked New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, “there is going to be a revolt”, Mr. Mackowiak said.

A source close to the campaign said Trump appeared to be leaning toward Pence but that he could always change his mind.

Waters dismissed that. “People want to talk about, ‘Oh, the will of the people have spoken”, he said.

Pence says Trump did not extend an offer to him. Trump was supposed to fly out of Indianapolis, but had mechanical troubles with his plane, presaging the series of meetings Trump held in Indianapolis.

That is, unless a collection of anti-Trump groups pulls off a long-shot bid this week that would be more at home in one of those ragtag-lovable-underdogs sports movies than at a political convention.

Language involving a border wall has been added to the items up for a vote. Puzder, who also hasn’t contributed to Trump, gave $10,000 apiece to super PACs backing Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Fiorina.

The New York Times reports Trump will likely end up running with a Republican platform that restricts the bathrooms that can be used by transgender people.

That’s where the Republican National Convention’s Rules Committee will meet Thursday and Friday to debate and approve the guidelines that will govern how GOP delegates nominate their presidential and vice presidential candidates.

Those who oppose Trump’s nomination hope that at least 28 members of the Convention Rules Committee vote to release any delegates who are mandated to vote for Donald Trump because of the results of their state party contests.

The legal dispute reflects Trump’s efforts to aggressively protect the secrecy of his campaign’s inner workings. The case is spelled out in court documents that sought to block private arbitration proceedings that Trump initiated in May.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, one of Trump’s finalists, traveled to Indiana Wednesday and was spotted with Trump’s entourage.

Joined by his adult children Ivanka, Eric and Donald Jr., the Republican presidential hopeful and his campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, paid a visit Wednesday morning to the home of Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, told NBC News that he believed Trump could “do better” with a pick ” who has not capitulated on something as fundamental as religious freedom”.
