One of the things in which Ryan disagreed with Trump, was the Trump’s proposal of creating a deportation force to round up, arrest and deport approximately 11 million illegal immigrants. “We don’t have people who run for office who 100% reflect all of our views. It doesn’t work like that”.
Burkman said he won’t back down and is planning a major ad buy in the Cleveland media market beginning Thursday or Friday aimed not only at delegates, but also party leaders and members of the media.
