Apple will be one of the few major tech companies to take a stand against Donald Trump’s inflammatory comments on women, Mexicans, Muslims and other minorities. “And it would be helpful if the Republicans could help us a little bit”, Trump said. “I think they should go about their work”.
The Washington Post, which first reported this move, called it “the most organised effort so far” to stop Trump and said it was led by “dozens of delegates” who will attend the convention in Cleveland, Ohio.
Trump clinched the GOP nomination in May when he reached the 1,237-delegate mark.
After an initial delay, Ryan has said he will back Trump but he has also acknowledged deep differences with him.
In the meantime, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., and other Republican officials announced they would not vote for Trump in the November election.

He was also clear that “you don’t want to deny a person the Constitutional rights without due process”.
“But the last thing I’m going to do is weigh in and tell delegates what to do, how to do their jobs”, Ryan said.
The presumptive nominee of the Republican Party seems to be having a problem with the Republican Party.

Clinton’s ad blitz is now up to $17 million: Yesterday, we wrote that Hillary Clinton’s battleground state ad blitz – in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia – had a price tag of $7 million. Crowdpac, a political data site based in Silicon Valley recently released a new set of finance reports revealing that by the end of April, Donald Trump’s campaign accepted around $14 million as contributions, from 8,200 individual donors. So that’s it. Otherwise, I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing. “We need your contribution by 11:59 pm on Sunday”, the email from Team Trump said. In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press to be aired on Sunday, the Wisconsin representative said he would not be “leading some chasm in the middle of our party”, but that members of the House Republican conference shouldn’t support Trump if it’s “contrary to their conscience”.
