“We’re going to figure out what the Trump campaign needs and can’t do by itself”, Rollins told callers.

Even before news of Kasich’s decision surfaced, Trump signaled a new phase of his outsider campaign that includes a search for a running mate with experience governing and outreach to one-time competitors in an effort to heal the fractured Republican Party. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell issued a frosty statement saying he had committed to backing the GOP nominee and noting Trump’s “obligation” to bring the party together. “We saw the stark difference between my husband’s presidency and George W Bush who went back to trickle down economics which is also what Donald Trump is advocating”, she said. In a series of colorful follow-up posts, Howe despaired over the fate of his party with Trump as its nominee.
Businessman Donald Trump’s decisive win Tuesday in IN prompted Texas Sen.
“And as I suspend my campaign today, I have renewed faith, deeper faith, that the Lord will show me the way forward”, Kasich said. “They changed me with the stories of their lives”.
But Trump may not be able to rely on some major past sources of financial support.
Vance joins a growing list of Republican insiders and candidates who are vowing not to support Trump.
She says she supported her senator, Cruz, because she saw him as giving voice to the American people.
Vander Plaats and a handful of other Republicans are clinging to the hope that an alternative option might yet emerge. But can the controversial candidate make his way into the White House? Hours before clinching victory in Indiana, Trump was floating an unsubstantiated claim that Cruz’s father appeared in a 1963 photograph with John F. Kennedy’s assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald – citing a report first published by the National Enquirer. And a spokesman for Bush’s father said simply, “At age 91, President Bush is retired from politics”.
According to Politico, Clinton supporters have made several phone calls this week, now that Trump is the presumptive nominee on the right.
Trump says he has “absolutely nothing against” Yellen, calling her a “very capable person”. “It is not Hillary Clinton”.
Olsen’s characterization of the challenge was consistent with the views of veteran analysts Michael Barone and Norman Ornstein of AEI and John Fortier of the Bipartisan Policy Center, who noted that current polling shows Clinton with double-digit leads. The poll included 623 Democrats and 556 Republicans and had a credibility interval of 5 percentage points. “They’re wrong”, Sanders said defiantly in an interview Tuesday night.
Both Clinton and Trump head into the general election with historically high unfavourable ratings.
Trump has insisted for months that he is financing his own campaign, and he has loaned himself most of the dollars he spent in the primary, though his campaign website has a prominent link at which voters can donate.
“Republicans are committed to preventing what would be a third term of Barack Obama and restoring economic and national security after eight years of a Democrat in the White House”, McConnell continued. Some Republican senators in tough races struggled Wednesday to position themselves in a party with Trump at the helm.
One of those targeted was Sen. Kelly Ayotte, said that while she would support him in the election, she would not endorse his candidacy. “We’re going to try over $1 billion, which is what’s going to be necessary”, he told NBC.
There have also been well-documented pushes to get notable Republican figures Condoleezza Rice and Retired General James Mattis to run as independents.

He later said he could consider Kasich, predicting the OH governor would be helpful this fall in any role given his state’s significance in the general election.
