House Minority Leader Brad Jones and several other top Republicans also made clear, however, that they would not vote for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party’s nominee, and stopped short of saying who would receive their votes.

Rep. Geoff Diehl, a Whitman Republican who has clashed at times with Jones, is Trump’s most high-profile elected supporter in the Bay State.
Though Trump has been criticized in the past for failing to lay out specific policy solutions, aides said that Monday’s speech will again focus on his broader vision.
US Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has cast doubt over the validity of the result of the November election.
Siena’s Greenberg said even with the huge lead of Clinton in the presidential race, voters in NY have a long tradition of splitting the ticket when it comes to their local lawmakers. The policy would represent a significant shift in how the US manages entry into the country.
Mr Trump also promised to work with North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in the fight against militants.
The Journal’s staunchly conservative editorial board says leading Republicans who have Mr Trump’s ear – such as Chris Christie, Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani – need to come through on their promise that their man could rise to the occasion. Said it’s time for the U.S. to be tough – “even extreme”, he said – in fighting terrorism, the Islamic State.
But through it all, trump joked with CT voters that if he doesn’t win, he’ll know who to blame.
“In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test”.
“Political correctness has created biased news coverage of both illegal immigration and radical Islamic terrorism”.
As president, he said, he would ask the US State Department and Department of Homeland Security to identify regions of the world that remain hostile to the US and where screening might not be sufficient to catch those who pose a threat.
“I’ve never seen an election where a candidate has a three to one negative favorability rating and still wins the election”, he said.
But Mr. Trump said the bigotry was coming from radical Islam’s “ideology of hatred”, citing the discrimination and mistreatment of women, gays and other groups in some Muslim countries.

Donald Trump is calling for “extreme” vetting of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, but he’s offering few specifics about how that might work, how long it might last or how taxpayers would foot the bill.
