House Speaker Paul Ryan Urges GOP Unity Behind Donald Trump

“I’m building a wall”, Trump said.

Trump vanquished his Republican rivals weeks ago, but once again needs to throw water on a firestorm within his party after his racially tinged remarks about a federal judge presiding over a lawsuit against his Trump University. A corrected exhibit was filed on Tuesday.

Still, he said, “Trump is testing that sort of loyalty” from many in the GOP.

On late Tuesday morning, Menendez addressed the U.S. Senate, acknowledging his status as the senior Latino in the legislative chamber, and spoke about the dark path Trump and the Republican Party is heading.

A prominent supporter of Trump before his win in the MA primary, Diehl said he disagrees with Ryan’s assessment, keying in on Curiel’s reported membership in the Latino law group.

Trump is facing two lawsuits in California and one in NY over Trump University that allege the series of real estate seminars taught students nothing and defrauded them of as much as $35,000 each in fees.

“Judge Curiel is one of countless American patriots who has spent decades quietly serving his country”, Warren will say.

But Politico interviewed more than a dozen members of Trump’s fundraising team and is reporting a shocker. That lists some $1.4 billion in assets, including real estate and other holdings, and $265 million in liabilities.

U.S. presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have kicked off a fierce general election battle, with Democrats accusing Trump of erratic behaviour and the Republican threatening to bring up old Clinton scandals.

Trump apparently has convinced himself, but very few others.

“We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American”, McGraw said. You know, as Speaker Ryan put it Tuesday, the definition of racism.

Lake, who has run campaigns across the South, said Trump’s attacks on Curiel are simply the latest component of a caustic appeal that won’t work for a general electorate expected to top 130 million – or roughly 10 times the number of votes Trump received in GOP primaries.

Trump continued question Curiel’s impartiality due to the judge’s association with specific organizations.

Trump’s most consequential decision between now and the Republican National Convention that starts July in Cleveland is selecting his running mate.

“Paul Ryan had to come out and say those are racist comments”, Hewitt said.

Rep. Bill Flores, R-Texas, chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee – an influential caucus that represents the majority of House Republicans – repeatedly ripped Trump’s comments, and said he doesn’t endorse Trump. “What bothers me about the comments is it doesn’t reflect who we are or what we think or how we think as Republicans”.

Rather than backpedal or bolster Trump’s “misconstrued” defense, Higbie went on the offensive and accused Curiel of being fundamentally unfit to preside over the case because of a host of disqualifying beliefs that were inextricably tied to the fact that he is of Mexican descent. Our President must be fit to command the most powerful military the world has ever seen, including an arsenal of thousands of nuclear weapons. He also compared Trump to tyrants and dictators who have used discrimination towards ethnic and religious minorities to increase their power.

“Today we are all Judge Gonzalo Curiel, and today we stand together as one nation, indivisible, no matter how hard someone tries to divide us”.
