Clinton to Planned Parenthood: Trump will reverse Roe v. Wade

He boasted that he had done well with “the evangelicals” and “religions generally speaking” in the primaries.

The danger for Trump: Many of his delegates – the numbers are unclear – actually prefer Cruz or perhaps other alternatives.

Brookover said some Cruz delegates really back Trump, and rated the chances the convention will avert Trump’s nomination at “virtually zero”.

The far-fetched idea is the latest reflection of a campaign cycle that has been anything but ordinary, and stems from a continuing dissatisfaction among some conservative stalwarts with how Trump is behaving and running his campaign. “I’m convinced we’ll see a very disciplined GOP nominee moving forward”. His main argument to persuade these voters was that he would fill the federal bench with “highly, highly respected judges”.

He said a Trump administration would “restore respect for people of faith”. “She wants a 500 percent increase in refugees from Syria”.

Then Trump was interrupted multiple times by Code Pink protesters.

The Tampa rally is Trump’s second since the end of the primary season.

Asked Thursday if he was open to the convention picking a different candidate than Trump, Cruz said, “I’m going to leave political punditry to the people who get paid to do it”.

On the issues of religious freedom, though, Trump promised to “respect and defend Christian Americans”. Saying it doesn’t define us.

Trump, New Jersey governor and early Trump supporter Chris Christie and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus all addressed the crowd of about 70 donors. “We have to take a timeout”.

Trump may have other problems as well.

Head of the Republican National Committee weighed in with his own zinger directed at Clinton, also referencing her email scandal: “If anyone knows how to use a delete key, it’s you”.

In interviews and speeches since clinching the Republican nomination, Trump has said he wanted to spice up his party’s nominating convention – historically a formal, week-long celebration consisting of speeches from party members all over the country, culminating with a speech from the party’s presidential nominee. The group’s president, Cecile Richards, introduced her as “our friend”.

Planned Parenthood has faced controversy because it provides abortion services in some of its clinics.

Trump is likely to face off with Hillary Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, in the general election.

Clinton praised the organization’s work on providing birth control and breast-cancer screenings.

“It’s becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump’s career was about scamming Americans and his campaign is about dividing them”, said Valentina Pereda, Clinton’s Florida spokeswoman.

Clinton leads Trump by three points, which is within the poll’s margin of error.

Clinton attacked Trump, saying he would appoint Supreme Court judges who would overturn Roe v. Wade, and reminded the audience of comments Trump made – and later walked back – that, if he succeeded in criminalizing abortions, women who sought them should be punished.

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said talk of ditching Trump at the convention was a “Washington fantasy” that would look like the party was “trying to undo the will of the Republican electorate” and pull off “some sort of coup”.
