Clinton extends lead over Trump to 8 percentage points
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, who dropped out of the Republican presidential primary race and endorsed Trump, said on Tuesday that Trump’s criticisms of the Khans was “inappropriate”.
Another Republican source said Trump’s family members, who have played an influential role in his campaign, were aware that an intervention was needed to get Trump back on track. When they start talking on the record, they are laying the groundwork to deny responsibility for the disaster unfolding before their eyes. “What does this say about your party that this is your standard-bearer?”
Since Obama’s comments Tuesday declaring Trump “unfit” for the job, Republicans have begun expressing fresh worry about their candidate’s ability to run a winning campaign.
Obama does not believe Trump will be that president. Trump and some other Republicans have described the money as ransom payment for four Americans detained in Iran days before the money was delivered.
It’s been little but campaign chaos ever since, with a catalog of calamities: Trump enraged party leaders by refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin or Sen. John McCain, its 2008 presidential nominee, in a sharp blow to GOP unity just two weeks after its national convention. Obama said with exasperation.
A handful of Congressional Republicans have expressed concern over having Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for President, but Tuesday morning, the first Republican Congressman officially broke ranks, endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.
The poll also indicated that President Obama had a 52 percent approval rating, his highest since May 2011, which could be a positive thing for the Clinton campaign. She said she would vote for Clinton if the race in her home state of Florida ended up being close.
“I think there is a big desire for change, and that helps Donald Trump”. She really does. She only knows to lie.
Clinton notched a number of fundraising “bests” last month.
“I feel like I need to do something more than quietly pulling the lever”, he said. Also at the fallen soldier’s mother, even though she never said anything.
“Our nation has been humiliated overseas and compromised by radical Islam brought onto our shores”, Trump’s statement said.
A candidate needs 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Obama cited Trump’s reaction to Khan’s parents as a principal reason for his extended remarks. A nationwide Fox News poll released Wednesday found the former secretary of state enjoying a 10-point lead over Trump, while national polls out Thursday by McClatchy-Marist and NBC/Wall Street Journal also find Clinton with a wide lead.
Obama lamented what he called an attack on a “Gold Star family that had made such extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our country”.
Trump, who has been criticized by fellow Republicans and others for responding too readily to opponents, declined to target Buffett personally for his comments: “There’s no counterpunch”.
“If we see jurisdictions that are violating federal laws in terms of equal access and aren’t providing ramps for disabled voters or are discriminating in some fashion, or are otherwise violating civil rights laws, then the justice department will come in and take care of that”, he said.
Trump has given no indication that he intends to take himself out of the running, and there is no way for the party to forcibly remove him. “This is daily”, Obama added. “The fact that that has not yet happened makes some of these denunciations ring hollow”.
The first is that Donald Trump insists that he is the only person who has the capacity to solve the country’s problems. “This was much easier”.
“He is a solid, thoughtful, traditional Republican and by far the most experienced on national security matters”.
