Kasich says he can’t yet embrace Trump as GOP nominee

Kris Hammond was never shy about his opposition to Donald Trump. Kris Hammond was going to Cleveland.

Hogan has made no secret of his disdain for Trump, and has said he won’t attend next month’s Republican National Convention.

Ominously for Trump, Clinton’s now rallying her party better than he is, despite the fact that Bernie Sanders has yet to officially drop out of the race. And according to interviews with multiple delegates, as Trump’s rhetoric continues to divide rather than unify, those tensions are only poised to escalate.

Speaking of the June 12 terror attack in Orlando of Florida that left 49 people dead and 53 others injured, along with other similar incidents, Trump said the murders were born out of disrespect for America. “I think that should be absolutely disavowed. I will not buckle”.

Asked what Trump could do to turn it around and earn his support, Kasich replied “Well, I don’t know”. “It’s an unhappy situation”, he says.

“You know politics. They don’t care what I think … They’ve bought into it. They’re all adults”.

Trump was preceded on stage by Vietnam veteran Allen Clark, radio personality Mark Davis, Tarrant County Commissioner Andy Nguyen, U.S. congressman Michael Burgess and railroad commissioner nominee Wayne Christian. So why are they sticking around? Trump mixed it up with at least one critic, who was wearing a cowboy hat and whom Trump said had interrupted him a couple of times. It was something that fueled both Trump’s candidacy and that of Bernie Sanders.

“It’s clearly planted in his mind”, one source said. Mitt Romney and I didn’t agree on everything.

“I read about this place”, Trump told a crowd at Gilley’s Dallas South Side Ballroom.

“I would say that I think Paul Ryan is definitely torn”.

Ryan says the private person and public persona of the billionaire real estate mogul are two different people.

“With Ted, I’ve seen over and over again his playing to outside groups rather than trying to work with his colleagues”, she told me on May 6th.

Trump is largely outsourcing what’s typically called a campaign’s ground game, which includes the labor-intensive jobs of identifying and contacting potential supporters.

Amid the uproar, Trump is forging ahead with his unconventional approach to building a presidential campaign. They’re not going to shorten up your magazines.

Just yesterday, Trump was shushing Ryan and other skeptical GOP leaders.

“Unfortunately our votes are already in [DC GOP Chairman Jose Cunningham’s] hands”, Berle says. “Don’t talk please be quiet, just be quiet, tell the leaders because they have to get tougher”.

Some Republicans are distancing themselves completely, like Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who said Wednesday he wouldn’t back Trump. Trump was not yet the presumptive nominee, nor had the primary season begun.

“Well, the list is getting tall”.

“It’s shameful that anyone would try to use a moment of silence honoring victims of a brutal terrorist attack to advance their own political agenda”, said AshLee Strong of House Speaker Ryan’s office.
