Despite his skepticism of Trump’s policies overseas, Rubio said Tuesday, “My policy differences and reservations about Donald’s campaign are well established, and I stand by those”.

“The important thing to remember is the national titular head of the party is the nominee of the Republican Party”, Manafort said.
“When it comes time to negotiate, I feel less concerned with the rich than I do with the middle class…The rich [are] probably going to end up paying more”, he said on NBC’s Meet the Press, later clarifying he meant more than what’s in his plan, not than what they pay now.
Trump says he was “blindsided” by Ryan’s stance. Trump on Sunday did not rule out pushing Ryan out from the speaker’s traditional role as convention chairman.
Sen. Steve Daines of Montana said Monday of Trump: “I want to see him lead and unite the party and the nation”, but wouldn’t endorse him.
“Six months from Election Day, the presidential races between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump in the three most crucial states, Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania, are too close to call”, said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac Poll.
“Look, I’m impressed with the guy as a business leader, I’m impressed with him as a guy who fought his way through this process”, said Sen.
After bowing out the presidential race in March, Rubio returned to the Senate and said he didn’t want to be on any candidate’s ticket.
Already on board the Trump train is former Texas governor Rick Perry, an early dropout from the Republican race who endorsed the 69-year-old real estate mogul last week.
The Kentucky senator also refused to weigh in on whether it hurt party unity to have a handful of Republican senators saying they didn’t support Trump as their nominee.
“I’ve tried hard not to comment on the Republican presidential campaign; I’m trying to run my campaign”.
Sensenbrenner said House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Republican from Janesville, has “done a masterful job of communicating”, and “has kept his roots in Wisconsin”.
“Instead”, he said. “I will focus my attention on representing the people of Florida, retaining a conservative majority in the Senate and electing principled conservatives across the country”. “I have communicated that to plenty of people”.
“I want to help unify our party so that we’re at full strength so that we can defeat Hillary Clinton”, Ryan said “I believe between now and July we will be able to figure out how to unify our party”. Not only do voters not know what he’s going to do, but as his comments his past week on the minimum wage and national debt suggest, he probably doesn’t know what he’s going to do either. “No reason to be there”, he said.
Trump has left himself a lot of room to negotiate since his plan calls for big cuts in the top tax rates.
Trump: Thank you very much.
“Sen. Cruz asked me to run to be a delegate for him in the event of a contested convention”, she said.
That “would be a disaster for our party”, Ryan told the Journal Sentinel. “He will be best served by a running mate and by surrogates who fully embrace his campaign”. When Cruz suspended his campaign, he had won 564 delegates, whom he has not freed to vote for another candidate.
Pressed if he saw a way to “compromise” with Trump that didn’t conflict with conservative principles, Ryan replied, “of course, absolutely I do”.
Yet after a bruising primary season others were not yet ready to move on. “I’m not there right now”, Ryan had said.

Schneider also told CNN that Ryan said “Donald Trump would have a better Supreme Court nominee than Merrick Garland”.
