Florida Republicans disagree with Donald Trump, but still back him

“T$3 he question I think they have to ask themselves is, if you are repeatedly having to say in very strong terms that what he has said is unacceptable, why are you still endorsing him?” For as much as Trump’s unforced errors frustrate Republicans, the same can be said for Clinton and Democrats.

Trump had a short-lived bump in the polls after the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in late July, when Reuters polling showed him slightly ahead of Clinton for the first time since May. Ryan predicts voters will reject Paul Nehlen, a businessman and political newcomer who’s benefited in recent days from Donald Trump’s praise and refusal to endorse Ryan. House Republican Richard Hanna of NY said it was “not enough to simply denounce his (Trump’s) comments”, and said he would support former Secretary of State Clinton instead.

A soldier who served with a slain Muslim Army captain says Donald Trump’s verbal attacks on the hero’s family have forced her away from possibly supporting the candidate.

He also challenged Trump to release his tax returns, something the real estate mogul and television star has declined to do so far citing an Internal Revenue Service audit. She said Friday to a meeting of black and Latino journalists in Washington: “I take it seriously”.

Trump minimized the family’s sacrifice in an interview, suggesting Khan’s mother Ghazala was not allowed to speak at the Democratic convention because of her faith. “He’s irremediable”, said Republican strategist Rick Tyler, who previously worked for Trump adversary Texas Sen.

She said Khan was a great leader and became part of her family during their deployment together, and that Trump’s comments disparaging his parents after their DNC speech proves he should not be President.

Donald Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, is brushing off Republican concerns of turmoil in their campaign.

Trump’s son, Eric Trump, told CBS News on Tuesday his father’s comments toward the Khans have been “blown hugely out of proportion”. He said the election is a binary choice and Trump is preferable to Democrat Hillary Clinton. Our new NBC News|SurveyMonkey poll shows that Clinton now leads Trump by eight points – 50 percent to 42 percent – after just a one-point difference between the two candidates last week.

About 43 per cent of likely voters favour Clinton, 35 per cent favour Trump, and 9 per cent picked “Other”, according to the July 28-Aug 1 online poll of 1289 likely voters. In the statement announcing the team, Trump’s campaign also said he’ll unveil a detailed jobs plan on Monday at the Detroit Economic Club. The Democrat reported raising almost $90 million in July for her campaign and the Democratic Party, with more than half the donations coming from new donors.

Buffett, a widely followed investor who is chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, scorned Trump’s 1995 move to list Trump hotels and casino resorts on the New York Stock Exchange, saying it lost money for the next decade and that “a monkey” would have outperformed Trump’s company. “I got out”, after seven years, he told the network on Tuesday.
