Trump to woo Hispanics in Miami after heated day on the Hill
In fact, Flake and Trump were involved in a particularly tense and awkward exchange during the meeting, according to the Post. Flake referred to Trump’s criticism a year ago of his colleague, Sen. John McCain of Arizona was a war hero because he was captured during the Vietnam War.
Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said he’ll unify the Republican party, but in the meantime, he’s helping unify a strategy for some Democrats.
Trump and Cruz began the primary season largely aligned, with both declining to attack the other.
“You’ve been very critical of me”, Trump told the Arizona senator.
Flake is not up for re-election until 2018.
A Trump source, who described the meeting as a “mending of fences”, said the former rivals agreed to a rhetorical cease-fire and promised to work together on issues they agree on.
“One scenario would be that he is victorious in the fall – I don’t think that’s going to be the case, personally”, he said.
“As the presidential campaign progressed, I was hoping the rhetoric would tone down and reflect a campaign that was inclusive, thoughtful and principled”, Kirk said in a statement at the time. “Nothing has changed”, James Wegmann, Sasse’s spokesman, told reporters afterwards.
Donald Trump says he won’t stand for it if it turns out some of his hats labelled “Made in USA” actually weren’t made in the USA.
Trump also reportedly characterized Illinois Sen.
The other Arkansan who heard Trump speak, U.S. Rep. French Hill of Little Rock, declined to discuss the gathering.
And some have continued to insist that Trump is more interested in winning – now by defeating presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton – than in actually serving as president of the United States and commander in chief, with all its tremendous power and responsibility.
The meeting Thursday was a rare moment for senators to see a more personal side of Trump, who has given many of them heartburn over the last few months.
During the meeting, Trump questioned whether Sasse wanted Hillary Clinton to win, the Post reported.
The spots will run through the Republican National Convention, which is scheduled for July 18-21. “You know, we have a system now for bringing people into the country, and what we should be doing is we should be bringing people who are terrific people who have terrific records of achievement, accomplishment”.
But Spiker told Yahoo News he did not think Trump supporters could get 56 votes on the Rules Committee for such a resolution.
