Donald Trump says “it would be nice” if the Republican Party gets behind his presidential candidacy, but the self-described “different kind of candidate” is prepared to go it alone if necessary.
Earlier at the rally, however, Trump echoed the Republican National Committee and said the reports were a media hoax. While it quickly gained support from Sen.
In Las Vegas Trump said he had raised $12 million to $13 million for the RNC in the past two days alone, and that if Republicans “don’t want to help out as much, I’ll fund my own campaign”. “Otherwise I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing”.
Concerned Republicans are also increasingly alarmed by Mr Trump’s rhetoric, including his racial attacks on a federal judge, a fresh call he made on Sunday to begin profiling Muslim Americans, and his support for changing the nation’s gun laws following the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
‘I have certain responsibilities, as not just Congressman Paul Ryan from the first district of Wisconsin, but as Speaker of the House, ‘ Ryan told NBC’s Chuck Todd in an interview that aired today on Meet the Press. One such figure is House Speaker Paul Ryan, who has taken a laissez-faire approach to anti-Trump feelings among the party’s ranks.
In a statement Friday, Trump dismissed the plots against him. “Third of all, we, not me, we got 13, nearly 14 million votes since the primary system”, Trump said Saturday.
‘I get that this is a very unusual situation, ‘ Ryan noted.
Delegates involved in the effort disagree, but their plans would require a high level of coordination among the thousands headed to Cleveland next month.
Still, Ryan suggested Sunday that he wouldn’t tell a Capitol Hill Republican seeking reelection on any party member to back Trump for the benefit the party in 2016.
He says that Rule 38 of the convention means every delegate is a “superdelegate” – and that nothing the GOP can do will override that.

The Republican representative from Colorado Kendal Unruh told Post that this is an “Anybody but Trump” movement. They have recruited regional coordinators in Arizona, Iowa, Louisiana, Washington and other states. Mr Bush has said he will not vote for Trump. You know, … I’m an outsider and historically they don’t love the outsiders. There’s only 2,400 of us. “We’re going to raise a lot of money. No matter what, we’re going to defend those principles”, he said.
