Speaker Paul Ryan is facing backlash from House Republicans over his flap with Donald Trump — and his own job may be on the line.
She called Trump’s comments “disgraceful” and “unacceptable”, but said she aligns with him on issues including regulation of businesses, taxes and gun rights. The Hill reported Trump asking the audience at the rally.
The New York Times published interviews with two women who say they were touched inappropriately by Donald Trump without their permission, allegations Trump immediately denied. Let’s go.

“We want the support of anybody who’s going to publicly endorse us”, Conway said. “There’s a whole sinister deal going on”.
Assuming Republicans remain in control of the House after November’s elections – which no longer seems assured – Ryan may need every GOP vote he can get to keep his post.
Some key Republican officeholders and candidates reaffirmed their support for Donald Trump Thursday despite new allegations from women that he groped and assaulted them.

The warnings by Bridenstine and Rohrabacher are significant because Ryan may not have many votes to lose when lawmakers decide who will be speaker in next year’s Congress.
And he told Bill O’Reilly last night: “I think I’m better off, maybe, without their support”. Leeds said Trump grabbed her breasts and tried to put his hand up her skirt.Rachel Crooks of OH said she met Trump at Trump Tower in 2005.
