Another congressman – Labrador – backs Trump’s policies, not his rhetoric

Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt suggested Wednesday morning that the Republican Party should work to change convention rules in order to drop Donald Trump as their nominee. It will be the fourth Super PAC in support of Trump, a candidate who has denounced Super PACs throughout but now faces the prospect of badly trailing Clinton in the general election money chase. Mark Kirk of IL withdrew his endorsement of Trump over the controversy, and Sen. I can guarantee you this: “In Richmond tonight, it will not be a teleprompter speech”, he said. Most others, including Ryan, reaffirmed their plans to support him. But the situation exposed the peril for Republicans forced to answer for Trump’s latest divisive comment, distracting from their own agendas as well as their goals of winning back the White House and hanging onto Senate control. Though the presumptive GOP nominee on Tuesday night tried to douse the fire he started when he referred to born-in-the-USA federal judge Gonzalo Curiel as “Mexican”, a day earlier he pressed his surrogates and supporters to sustain the attack on Curiel, who is presiding over a fraud case against Trump and Trump University.

“Claiming a person can’t do their job because of their race is sort of like the textbook definition of a racist comment“, Ryan said. We’ve seen this example many times already in this election cycle with Megyn Kelly and FOX News, with CNN, recently with Jeff Bazos and the Washington Post, and now with Judge Curiel. As we head into the summer Donald is building a war chest to defend himself against Hillary Clinton’s attacks, and he needs our help. “They’ve made hundreds of millions of dollars selling access, selling favors, selling government contracts, and I mean hundreds of millions of dollars”, the real-estate mogul said. Sanders had their contentious moments, but said their patriotism for America will win out as their shared vision for the America, something more believe in than don’t, will win out in November.

Trump dissenters could vote for various other candidates – or Mickey Mouse, for that matter – as long as a total of 1,237 of them don’t vote for Trump.

Collins came out forcefully against Trump’s comments on Monday, calling them “absolutely unacceptable”. He’s out of line. However, haranguing a judge for his “heritage” is inexcusable.

Hillary Clinton and Republican rival Donald Trump kicked off what is shaping up to be a bitter five-month general election battle after the Democrat became the first woman to lead a major political party in its quest to capture the US presidency. “We should get out of it immediately, eject”.

Obama has on several occasions hinted at backing Clinton’s White House bid and his administration has gone as far as blocking the release of significant documents in the email case.

To try to keep Trump, who is notoriously resistant to advice, on track, some on his team are turning more to his grown children – Eric, Don Jr. and Ivanka, as well as Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner – in the hope that they can exert influence.

Clinton, in her Tuesday speech, called Trump “temperamentally unfit to be president and commander in chief”.
