Warren on attack against Trump as she gets behind Clinton
Since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, the NY developer has gone out of his way to double down on his negatives, rather than try to offset them. In addition to giving them more public roles, some campaign aides have been pushing for them to travel more with the candidate, according to a person familiar with the efforts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about private discussions.
She says she’s opting not to cast a “symbolic” vote and doesn’t plan on voting for either Trump or presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the fall. Most Americans (57 percent) think Trump was wrong in his complaint.
The day after French’s non-candidacy ended, Trump won the California primary – among others – with 75 percent of the vote.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But that’s not the campaign that Donald Trump has been running, is it? He is what he is: a bully through and through, one that takes the low road at every opportunity.
Chait noted that even though Ryan denounced Donald Trump’s attacks on Gonzalo Curiel, Ryan “will endorse [Trump] anyway because Trump will sign Ryan’s bills into law…Somehow, once again, Ryan’s agenda found itself in the anomalous position of depending on a racist in order to prevail”.
Graham isn’t supporting Trump and has warned that his controversial comments about Curiel could lead to Republicans dropping their endorsements. Trump’s attacks evoke memories of his earlier questioning of President Barack Obama’s American citizenship.
The storm clouds began circling after Trump said the federal judge hearing a lawsuit over Trump University, Trump’s now-defunct investment workshop, was biased against him because of his Mexican heritage. But Carson said Trump told him during a private meeting at Trump Tower that he thought the attacks indeed were a mistake.
Under Dickerson’s persistent questioning, Trump revised his long-expressed claim that he opposed USA intervention in Libya after the moderator showed a 2011 video blog in which he said, “We should go in. We should stop this guy”.
“I was for doing something”, Trump conceded, “but I wasn’t for what you have right now”.
Likewise, he has said he opposed the USA invasion of Iraq and criticized Hillary Clinton for supporting it, though he told an interviewer at the time he favored it.
What’s interesting about the nearly ceremonial denunciation of Donald Trump by members of his own party this week is the lack of self-awareness that it implies. “In comparison 81 percent of Democrats and 44 percent of independents say that the comments were racist”.
See the whole political picture, Sunday on “This Week”. When asked if he expected to act like this as president, Trump replied, “Yes, it’s going to be like this”.
“Do your job and give Merrick Garland his vote”, she implored Republicans, who have held up his confirmation process because they hope a Republican president can fill the seat next year. “Wouldn’t that be wild if I’m president and I come back to do a civil case?”
On Tuesday, after saying his comments about the judge had been “misconstrued”, he promised to make fellow Republicans “proud of our party”.
