Though Trump’s $10 billion estimate of his own fortune is viewed skeptically by outside appraisers, he’s a safe bet to be the wealthiest American ever to be the presumptive nominee from a major political party, richer even than Republican Mitt Romney.
“I think this is a time for unity”.
The simple answer is that Trump followed the rules in accumulating enough primary and caucus victories to leave expected contenders like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, and Chris Christie eating his dust.
His advice to Dear Donald?
“I have said no, but I’ve said no now about 25 times”, he said.
“I don’t think Trump’s a fool”, the Hubbard Broadcasting CEO added.
“I haven’t met him yet, so I want to get to talk to him about some issues”, said Sen.
And Ryan said that he wasn’t in the camp pushing for a third-party candidate to run against Trump. Ted Cruz’ “running mate” right before the Texan realized the nomination was out of reach.
Republican party leaders may have anxious that Donald Trump would not only lose the general election for the presidency, but would so poison the image of the party as to cause Republican candidates for Congress and for state and local offices to also lose.
Trump, asked about Palin’s remarks on Monday on CNN, called her a “free agent” and said he had nothing to do with that push.
“It’s not going to help her if she’s sending e-mails about claiming the woman card”, reiterated Faris.
Trump has said that if he’s elected, he’ll terminate Obama’s immigration actions and build a wall on the border with Mexico. Salon reported over the weekend that Cheney said he has always supported the GOP candidates, and he won’t change this year.
State Rep. Mike Pitts, R-Laurens, said Republicans need to rally behind Trump. But a president must offer more than criticism.
He’s hammered the former first couple on their charity’s shady business dealings as well as sexual harassment and assault accusations that have been leveled against Bill Clinton.
Still, ahead of the meeting, Ryan’s negative stance appeared to be providing cover for some vulnerable Republicans who are anxious to distance themselves from Trump and his controversial comments about women, Latinos, prisoners of war and others. “No, Nikki Haley, no. She wasn’t under consideration”.
In his comments last week, Ryan signaled two distinct concerns about Trump: that he should campaign more firmly on conservative ideas, and at the same time moderate his tone to appeal to a diverse array of voters. Ryan said that he wants Trump to stop bullying people and to prove that he supports true conservative issues. Rob Portman of Ohio.
“She’s married to a man who got impeached for lying”.
A no-show for Haley would be a significant reversal for the daughter of Indian immigrants who made history becoming the state’s first female and first minority governor. Ben Sasse, Rep. Justin Amash, Former Sen. Before that, she was the S.C. Democrats’ deputy director. That fear is partly what’s fueling speculation over a potential third-party run from someone like Romney, who met privately with Kristol, the editor of the conservative Weekly Standard, last week to discuss how to get an independent candidate into the race.
See you at the polls.
