Republicans Plans On Sinking Trump’s Campaign Through Fund Cuts

Republican Donald Trump is now saying that his description of President Barack Obama as a founder of the Islamic State group was sarcasm. Trump has been the Frank Sinatra candidate (I can hear him singing, “I did it my way”) fearlessly (foolishly?) telling other Republicans he doesn’t need them, while large numbers of Republicans are abandoning the Trump-Pence ticket.

Priebus’s appearance in Erie on Friday comes amid a series of bad polls for Trump and increased frustration among many Republicans about their nominee. Trump denied that conversation to Time, while Priebus didn’t comment. Trump traveled to ME last week, a state that has also been blue since 1992.

“Frankly, a lot of stuff over the last week.it’s him being distorted”, said Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort.

“Some of them just can’t get over it”, Trump told the crowd. Over the last week, multiple Republicans have announced that they won’t vote for Trump.

Weinstein is a veteran of Dole’s 1996 campaign. For Whitman to dump Trump for Clinton on the basis of his demagoguery is to jump out of the proverbial frying pan into the fire.

Clinton has tried to paint Trump has an out-of-touch business mogul but her substantial wealth has caused headaches.

“He was the founder of ISIS, absolutely”, says Trump, blaming the president for his decision to withdraw troops, which some argue created a power vacuum in which extremist groups like IS thrive.

“I think we have some pretty good ads but we don’t want to go too fast”. “At the end, it’s either going to work or I’m going to, you know, I’m going to have a very, very nice long vacation”.

But many Republicans wonder what Trump is waiting for, since Clinton has used time and money to define herself, and more importantly, Trump, without much of a retort.

“No one is really paying attention to the election right now – August is always the slowest month of the political year”, Luntz told The HIll.

There aren’t any foreign leaders who cringe at the thought of her becoming president as many do about Trump. He won despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent by his opponents. The electorate he must reach to win goes beyond the GOP base yearning for a populist, off-beat and sometimes off-color candidate like Trump.

There is no evidence that a formal plan to break with Trump exists at either the state party or RNC level, but Priebus has informally discussed the possibility with party leaders in battleground states in recent days, three of the officials said.

“I’m the one raising the money for them”, he said.

Once on stage Trump praised Priebus for the RNC’s efforts working with his campaign – and talked up his own accomplishments in securing the GOP nomination.

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus addresses the first session of the at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, in July.

He says that put Republicans on the defensive, regardless of how the presidential election turns out. The real political excitement will begin in January, 2017 – both in terms of public policy and the reconstruction of the Republican Party.

“While it is not too late, it is getting close to that”, he added. Republicans have seized upon the millions in speaking fees and a tone-deaf comment by Clinton in a 2014 interview that she was “dead broke” after leaving the White House in 2001. But down-ballot Republicans in swing states, at least for now, are staying afloat.

Meanwhile, Politico reported in a separate article that a meeting is planned Friday between Trump advisors and Republican Party officials at the request of the nominee’s campaign, in a possible sign that Trump is seeking help in rescuing his foundering campaign. Democrats already have 200 staffers and say they’re aiming for 100 offices in Florida.

McConnell said a vote for Trump over Clinton “is easy for me”. He told a gathering of evangelical ministers Thursday he’s “having a tremendous problem in Utah”.

Yet McConnell said it’s “stating the obvious” that neither Trump nor Clinton is “widely appealing to the American people”.
