In the past few days, there have been a significant number of voices, many from men and women in the Republican Party, complaining about Trump.

Polls now mostly show Trump lagging Clinton by 5 percentage points or more nationally, but Priebus predicted they will tighten up and Trump will be “ahead as we move through September”.
Trump brought Conway and Breitbart News’ Steve Bannon in to run the campaign amid declining poll numbers and a controversy over former campaign chair Paul Manafort’s ties to Ukraine’s former regime.
According to the Morning Consult poll released on Friday, 38 percent United States voters say that news coverage favoured Clinton, while only 12 percent believe that same was true for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Xinhua news agency reported.
In comparison, Democrats are more satisfied with Hillary Clinton as their nominee, with 56 percent saying they are pleased while 42 percent wish someone else were nominated. “And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track”, said Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman.
Mook quickly and emphatically dodged this question, insisting only that “millions of people” depend on the foundation, and instead started accusing Clinton’s opponent in the election, Republican nominee Donald Trump, of being “just a puppet for the Kremlin”.
Trump announced his first ad buy of the campaign.
Pressed on whether Trump’s plans would include a “deportation force” that the candidate previously pledged to set up, she replied: “To be determined”.
Trump officials criticized the Clintons’ charitable foundation in the wake of its announcement that it would not accept donations from foreign contributors if Clinton were elected president.
Asked Monday on “Fox and Friends” whether this was a flip-flop, Eric Trump, one of the candidate’s sons, replied: “My father hasn’t flip-flopped on anything”.
“We’ll get it done”, he said, adding that he and the rest of the Democratic presidential hopeful’s team are “looking forward to the debates”.
Aguirre Ferré said Trump “was clear” that he’s crafting his immigration policy and didn’t commit to any of the ideas presented at the meeting, although the full group agreed with him that border security should be an important part of any overhaul of immigration policy. “We’re not seeing a pivot. I have done that, and believe it or not I regret it”, Trump said in North Carolina.
The poll came as Trump doubled down on his accusation against “the crooked media”.
