Trump moves from ‘Crooked Hillary’ to ‘the devil’ on stump

She’s the devil. He made a deal with the devil.

In early May, fewer than half of Clinton’s backers said their vote was more to show support for her than opposition to Trump. He doesn’t have to worry too much about fallout from the decision as he is not running for re-election in November.

“If we underestimate our opponent or take this race for granted, we’ll lose”, the email said, referring to Republican nominee Donald Trump.

In response to an emotional attack on him by the parents of 27-year-old army captain Humayun Khan, who died in a suicide bombing, Trump had claimed to have made sacrifices equal to their son.

In the letter, Mr. Hanna points out that he said months ago he could never support Mr. Trump.

Hanna said it’s unthinkable that anyone would criticize Gold Star parents. “I saw that and felt incensed”, Hanna said in an interview.

He added, “I think Trump is a national embarrassment”. “You want to attack or you want to do something, it’s called [a] ‘courier'”.

The three-term congressman from upstate NY has always been a member of the moderate wing of his party, voting against cuts to Planned Parenthood and supporting same-sex marriage. But even before the announcement, he had developed a reputation for his independence and criticism of the most conservative of the Republican House caucus.

Hanna has always been one of the most liberal members of the House Republican caucus.

The congressman explained that he “did not expect perfection” but would “require more than the embodiment of at least a short list of the seven deadly sins”.

The Republican candidate has come in for criticism from members of his own party and opposition alike for his comments about the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, an American Muslim soldier who was killed by a auto bomb in 2004 while serving in Iraq. “Where do we draw the line?” he wrote. “I think they knew what they were doing when they asked that family to speak at the convention”.

A range of figures and organisations from across the political spectrum from President Barack Obama to Senator John McCain have criticised Trump for his comments.

“I found him profoundly offensive and narcissistic but as much as anything, a world-class panderer, anything but a leader”, Hanna wrote, describing him as “deeply flawed in endless ways”.
