Trump camp scrambles to shape up before GOP convention

Just a few days after a string of not great headlines, Donald Trump got another batch of bad news. In contrast, the Clinton campaign raised $27 million.

Trump’s seven-point plan also made an overt threat to withdraw from the North American Free Trade Agreement, negotiated and signed by President George H.W. Bush and supported by President Bill Clinton, who also campaigned in Congress for enabling legislation, which he also signed. You know? He won.

McConnell refused to say on Sunday whether Trump is qualified to be president.

The Republican from Kentucky did, however, suggest that the Republican platform would not reflect some of the presumptive GOP nominee’s signature ideas, such as his proposal to restrict Muslim immigration to the United States. According to Trump, the RNC is no place for the losers who couldn’t best him in the primary. The Cleveland gathering begins in three weeks.

Some rebellious delegates and other anti-Trump party operatives held a 40-minute conference call Sunday night that was monitored by The Associated Press in what was a combination pep talk and strategy review. A leader of the effort, Colorado convention delegate Regina Thomson, said around 2,000 people were on the call. McConnell’s closing statements acknowledged that Trump would not be able to win if he was unable to raise more money.

The fundraising appeal comes one week after his father very publicly fired his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. And the fate of Trump–or his replacement, on the off-chance he is ousted or drops out–will have such a powerful affect on the future of the right that forecasting it today is even more hard than it was in bygone years when we all got it wrong.

In Washington, D.C., Florida Senator Marco Rubio and Ohio Governor John Kasich split the primary vote. Trump is now in the process of taking the second argument away from them and the fact that he remains close to Clinton in battleground state polls will go a long way towards taking away the first. Will and others like him have actively contributed to the festering sore that is the GOP and it was from this hateful, wrathful wound that Trump emerged.

Donald Trump has managed to raise the ire of a lot of people in the U.S., including within his own party.

“Trump’s campaign has less cash than some congressional candidates have, so Republican donors have never been more important than they are at this moment”, he wrote on Wednesday. He said the transition to the general election is complete – but the details have not necessarily been made public. Help make history by giving one of the amounts below.

“Given his rhetoric on migrants, refugees and immigration, it seems quite extraordinary that he would be asking foreign nationals for money; especially people who view his unsafe divisiveness with horror”.
