Trump, escalating rhetoric, says Clinton “has to go to jail”

The House Republican campaign organization is airing an ad for a House candidate that is premised on the party’s presidential nominee losing to Democrat Hillary Clinton. Among them is one attacking Clinton’s record and comments, including her statement calling half of Trump’s supporters “deplorable”.

As for Sunday’s debate, which “virtually everybody other than some crooked polls said that we won”, Trump took issue with reports that he wandered around the stage and got into Clinton’s space.

She went on to say that, despite her claims that Trump’s behavior made him unfit to run for public office, since he won’t step aside, she may as well vote for him.

Bridenstine is a conservative and a member of the House Freedom Caucus, which often bucks leadership. Nearly immediately after the report was posted, Trump cancelled what was to be his appearance with Pence, House Speaker Paul Ryan, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin Sen.

Trump also fired off a list of grievances against Ryan, ranging from “open borders and amnesty” to “bad budgets”.

But Tuesday during a radio interview she announced that she will vote for Trump after all.

“We’re dying like flies”, said Billy Smith, a coal miner for 39 years who said McConnell’s lack of support was hard to understand, given all the ailments he sees among his fellow retirees in his local union.

On Monday, Mr Ryan told fellow House Republicans he would focus on congressional elections to ensure Republicans could maintain legislative control.

Mr Ryan is the latest Republican not to back Mr. Trump after a 2005 video emerged showing him making obscene comments about groping women.

Khizr Khan said Trump spoke out of “blatant political expediency” and showed no understanding of the pain of military families who lost loved ones in Iraq.

“They’ll be there”, Trump responded.

Many of Trump’s supporters – or simply those who can’t stand the idea of a Clinton presidency – have been waiting and hoping for him to fulfill his promise of being more presidential.

Trump called Ryan a “very weak and ineffective leader” after Ryan said he would no longer defend the candidate.

“I think that this seems to be their strategy, disgust everyone with our Democratic dialogue so that they won’t come out to the polls”, John Podesta, Clinton’s campaign chairman, told reporters aboard Clinton’s campaign plane.

Some are even raising the potential of denying Ryan the speakership after the election.

Just last week, Ryan was in MI, attending fund-raisers and campaigning for Jack Bergman, the GOP nominee in the 1st District in northern MI, and in metro Detroit, where he appeared for U.S. Rep. Mike Bishop, R-Rochester, who is running for his second two-year term in the 8th District.

Later, Trump headlined a second rally in Lakeland, a sprawling suburb about 100 miles south of Ocala, where he repeated his long-standing attacks on Clinton’s trustworthiness – saying if elected he would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

Facing a barrage of criticism over sexually aggressive comments that surfaced on Friday, Trump has seen his support among some lawmakers fall away in recent days as the Republican Party splits apart over its White House candidate less than a month before the election. Another six seats held by Republicans are either lean or likely Democrat.

Many Republicans are anxious his chaotic campaign could hurt their chances of holding majorities in the House of Representatives and Senate in next month’s election, and will inflict long-term damage on the party.

At the very least, a Trump implosion that cuts deeply into Ryan’s majority could complicate the Speaker’s already tough task of corralling his volatile majority coalition. He noted that that he was a “white Southerner”, and said that his memory is that the phrase “Make America Great Again” means: “Here’s your tobacco, here’s your shotgun, you’re in charge”. “I always figure it out”.
