In contrast, Hillary Clinton was given a 4/11 or 73 percent chance of winning the election by the betting site William Hill even though gamblers appear to be placing more of their money on Trump.
Ending days of suspense, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump today endorsed his party’s two stalwarts House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain for re-election and vowed to make Republicans a “big tent” party as was under ex-president Ronald Regan. He also endorsed two key Senate Republicans.
Ryan, for his part, has been critical of Trump’s feud with the Khans, whose Army captain son died fighting in the Iraq war in 2004.
Trump also threw his support behind Arizona Sen. “She is a rising star and will continue to represent the great people of New Hampshire so very well for a very long time“. “We will work to ensure both chambers of Congress remain in Republican hands, continuing to protect against executive overreach regardless of who wins the election this November”. “We have to make them”.
Donald Trump targeted Somali communities in ME and Minnesota Thursday during a campaign speech in Portland, saying refugees from unsafe places should not be allowed in the U.S.
Republicans have repeatedly charged that Clinton endangered national security with her handling of classified material.
“In one way, she’s a monster”, he said in Wisconsin.
In Iowa, he blamed the “dishonest” media for the fuss over an incident earlier in the week in which he asked a screaming baby to leave a rally. Also this week, a Decatur Republican who said on Wednesday that he could not vote for Donald Trump has resigned his position as a Georgia electoral delegate.
The White House has insisted the payment had nothing to do with the release of the hostages. “Maybe just maybe when I’m actually running for a job there is a real benefit to those on the other side to try and stir up as much concern as possible”, she said. I think if you poll, and I think there were 862 people polled in this particular poll, if you poll downtown Atlanta, you skew your poll to Atlanta, then you get numbers like this.
And she did what she has rarely done during the presidential campaign: take questions from reporters. “I don’t know why we’re not leading by a lot”.
Trump tried to capitalize on those comments, instantly sending out an anti-Clinton web video.
In a radio interview Friday morning, Ryan did not rule out withdrawing his endorsement of Trump.
And he needs more of those.

“John McCain is a leader within his party, he is known as someone who stands up for his values … and he is someone who Donald Trump has personally insulted”, said Alexander McCoy, a Marine Corps veteran who has organized numerous veterans-themed protests of Trump during the campaign.
