Ryan stresses border control, immigration in security plan
Today, in a speech at the American Constitution Society’s national convention in Washington, Warren will hit Ryan by referring to Trump as “Paul Ryan’s kind of candidate”. My approach to politicians has generally been similar to that of lab researchers to their test animals: Do not get too attached. Mr. Frates, what do you have? “Fluffy.” For the columnist, it’s easier to twist the knife if you don’t feel personally invested.
Beginning on May 27 during a speech in San Diego, California – the city where Curiel hears cases in federal court – Trump has accused the him of being incapable of judging him fairly because he is of Mexican descent and Trump plans to wall off Mexico from the US if he’s president. Trump’s Outrageous Attack on Judge CurielIan Tuttle – National ReviewThe problem with Donald Trump, though (let me rephrase: one of the inexhaustibly many problems) is that his personal beefs become the ideological framework for hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of Americans. But Ryan has not withdrawn his endorsement of Trump.
On May 5, Mr. Ryan announced that he wasn’t ready to endorse.
Republican lawmakers led by House Speaker Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) unveiled a foreign policy agenda that makes the case for a more active America overseas and a strong North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, running counter to some of the proposals of presumptive nominee Donald Trump. His stance was both strategic and principled.
Moreover, Mr. Ryan implied that he was holding out in order to push Mr. Trump in a more conservative direction; the businessman would have to show good faith and rein in his antics in exchange for party unity. Some are supporting the presumptive nominee.
FRATES: Some are riding the “never Trump” train. This is a powerfully restrictive move that puts the power to add any amendments to a series of must-pass bills into a very few Republican hands, and in doing so, changes some of the basic nature of the House. And he vilified the Indiana-born judge in his Trump University fraud case for being a “Mexican”. “I think our side’s been more than fair”, Rep. David Brat (R-Va.), a member of the Freedom Caucus, told reporters after the meeting. “Nothing”, Trump said then. Alas, he didn’t blink “just kidding” in Morse code.
Asked how he could continue to support a presidential candidate whom he had just accused of racism, Ryan threaded a rhetorical needle.
Ryan also jeopardized the party’s long game. Mr. Ryan understands better than most that the biggest hurdle for conservatives is how their motivations are perceived.
“When you look at citizenship and voter mobilization and registration that’s going on in the Latino community, you have to be pretty excited about the fall election if you’re a Democrat”. Mr. Ryan has been fighting that perception all his political life.
Trump often proves conservatism’s harshest critics right. “What you need is a proper vetting system”, McCaul said. Mr. Trump says that “taking the oil” of Iraq and Libya should be a top priority.
He also used the slogan of “America First” to link his opposition to illegal immigration, but on economic rather than cultural rounds: “America First means protecting the jobs, wages and security of American workers, whether first or tenth generation….”
Trump has tried to defuse the controversy, saying the comments were “misconstrued”, but several Republicans are calling on him to apologize and retract his comments.
Ryan has repeatedly lambasted Trump’s comments as “racist” – a word other Republicans have avoided even while condemning the billionaire’s remarks.
