“But I need a Republican Senate and a House to accomplish all of the changes that we have to make”, Trump told supporters.

Donald Trump planned to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan on a Wisconsin visit Friday in an effort to end another lingering campaign controversy, national media outlets reported.
Mr Trump has prompted fury at the top of the Republican Party after his refusal to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senator John McCain.
“I like Paul, but these are disgusting times for our country”, Trump told the Washington Post on Tuesday. “We need very strong leadership”, Trump had said.
“For someone whose career got jumpstarted by the Chicago machine I was surprised to hear him say that.”, Mr. Manafort observed.
Pence also said Trump values the sacrifices made by military families: “This man has a heart for our soldiers”.
It appears Trump’s hesitation to endorse Ryan hasn’t had a negative impact on the incumbent’s popularity in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District ahead of the August 9 primary. Her spokesman pointed out that Trump has not said he won’t vote for Trump, making the ad “political double-speak”.
Ryan called that a “dark, grim, indefensible” idea.
Trump also said he had not seen a video carrying cash to Iran, as he had repeatedly said earlier this week, but rather had seen a clip showing a plane carrying some of five Americans who were freed from Iran in January. House Speaker Paul Ryan sent out a fundraising email Thursday urging, “If we fail to protect our majority in Congress, we could be handing President Hillary Clinton a blank check”.
“An improving week”, campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Friday on Fox News. He said in the same interview that Mr McCain had not done enough for veterans and criticised Ms Ayotte for distancing herself from him during the campaign. He’s a strong conservative leader.
“Donald Trump wants to win this election”.
Ryan, who withheld his own endorsement of Trump for weeks after Trump had clinched the party’s nomination, deflected Sykes’ questions about whether he might withdraw that support.
Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s lead over Republican rival Donald Trump narrowed to less than 3 percentage points, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday, down from almost eight points on Monday. It’s dumb to turn around three days after claiming he wasn’t ready to endorse and say “okay, I’m ready now!”, especially when the papers are running stories about Reince Priebus chewing him out on the phone for not embracing his buddy Ryan.
Clinton received the support of 90 percent of self-described Democratic voters, while Trump was backed by 79 percent of Republicans in the McClatchy/Marist poll.
Ryan had dismissed the importance of a Trump endorsement Friday morning in another local radio interview with WISN’s Jay Weber.

“I see no goal in doing this tit-for-tat, petty back-and-forth with Donald Trump, because it serves no good objective in my mind”.
