Trump made headlines after he clarified that he was not ready to support Ryan in his primary.

Only one protester was escorted out of the venue after yelling “Donald Trump is a racist” as Pence was wrapping up.
McCain had a “very friendly” meeting with Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Mike Pence, on Tuesday in Arizona, where Pence was visiting, a McCain spokeswoman said. “They are going to put Hillary Clinton in the White House if they don’t vote for Trump, if they don’t go along with our party, if they don’t support our nominee”, Hagenbuch said.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
He said he thought Trump “was just being a decent human being” for thanking him.
And the woman who helped shape New Jersey Govenor Chris Christie’s national image declared that she is voting for Mrs Clinton.
“Wouldn’t that be embarrassing to lose to crooked Hillary Clinton?”
Pence’s unambiguous endorsement came the day after his running mate wouldn’t endorse Ryan, but the IN governor said Trump was on board with his move.
As Slate suggests, by Trump saying that he’s “not quite there yet” with his decision to support Ryan, this appears to be a “biting” reference to Ryan’s own words while making his decision on supporting the Republican candidate.
The numbers mark a significant upswing since May, when Trump was badly outraised by Clinton.
It’s been a chaotic, brutal few days, even by the standards of the Donald Trump campaign. In contrast, Clinton’s organization and committees brought in around million in July, that campaign reported on Tuesday.
Ryan said he didn’t want to get drawn into “hypotheticals” but said, “None of these things are ever blank checks”.
Senior officials in the Republican Party are reportedly preparing a contingency plan in case Donald Trump decides to drop out of the presidential race.
“I like Paul, but these are frightful times for our country”, Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post.
“I like Paul, but these are terrible times for our country”, Trump told the newspaper.
Karl said the Republican Party could not force Trump out of the race now that he’s their nominee, but he might solve their problem by dropping out.
All three chided Trump for engaging in a flap with Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan, who was posthumously awarded a Bronze Star and Purple Heart after his death in 2004.
According to Pence: ‘He strongly encouraged me to endorse Paul Ryan in next Tuesday’s primary and I’m pleased to do it’.
The message from Trump to Ryan is clear: Your opponent likes me and thinks I am great.
It is the latest rift in a party already frayed by internal dissent over its standard bearer, seen in stark relief at the convention where McCain was among high-level party members who essentially snubbed Trump by choosing not to attend.
The Republican presidential nominee also declined to endorse two GOP Senators running for re-election, Sens.
Pence also pushed back on reports that the campaign was planning an intervention with Trump to address the recent controversies.

Former George W. Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer expressed the sense of bewilderment settling over the political world when he reflected on Trump’s take-no-prisoners political style.
