David Axelrod, a former top adviser to Obama, wondered if other GOP elected officials would follow Hanna, tweeting, “Outlier or leading edge?”

“I saw that and felt incensed”, Hanna said. One of Trump’s defining policies is his call to build a wall on the USA border with Mexico, and forcibly deport the millions of people – many of whom are Hispanic – living in the country illegally.
Something extremely unexpected just happened in the United States presidential election: A Republican congressman endorsed Hillary Clinton.
He said he thought it might have been after Trump insulted Republican Sen.
“I’m hoping today that he doesn’t keep going on it. He’s got to let it rest”, Grimm said.
“I do not expect perfection, but I do require more than the embodiment of at least a short list of the seven deadly sins”, Hanna wrote.
Republican congressman Richard Hanna said it was “not enough to simply denounce his [Mr Trump’s] comments”, and said he would support Mrs Clinton instead.
Hanna’s retirement gives him the leeway to risk upsetting colleagues and voters. “That is the opinion of many prominent Republicans”.
Clinton’s campaign continues to be weakened by perceptions that she is less than honest and trustworthy, although surveys have shown that Trump also fares poorly on the same question.
Ryan and Republican Senate Majority Leader McConnell have offered support to the Khans, but no Republican leaders have withdrawn their support for Trump as the party’s presidential pick.
“I’m not quite there yet”, Trump told the Washington Post, echoing words Ryan used to delay his presidential endorsement.
Maria Comella, Chris Christie’s former aide, will vote for Clinton saying that with Trump as the GOP nominee, Republicans “are at a moment where silence isn’t an option”, CNN reported. A CBS poll found a four-point bump for Clinton, who now enjoys a 46-39 lead over her Republican opponent, while a CNN/ORC survey showed the Democratic nominee with a 7-point bump and a 52-43 lead over Trump. Voters were asked if their vote for Clinton or Trump was a vote for their candidate or a vote against the other candidate. Like Clinton, Trump has a fundraising partnership with party allies through which he can collect checks of hundreds of thousands of dollars from individual donors.
Trump again responded to Khan’s comments during a Monday night interview on Fox News.
But now, 91 percent of Sanders backers say they will vote for Clinton and 6 for Trump, who has predicted that the Vermont lawmaker’s supporters will come to his side.
Trump, who has said his business success qualifies him to lead the country, defended his record running his hotel and casino business in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
“I had great timing”.
