Ryan: GOP nominee must reject bigotry

And two of the highest-ranking Republicans in the Wisconsin Legislature “say they won’t support Trump and would consider voting for a conservative third-party candidate in the general election if he’s the nominee”, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

He told Republicans to unite around him to stop Trump but the party leadership’s hatred of him makes that highly unlikely. A secret Muslim. A communist.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid called Trump a “monster” the Republicans spawned with their years of rancorous opposition to all major Obama administration initiatives.

Party leaders have worked to instill in many Americans a hatred of the very institution of government that borders on anarchism.

Without naming Trump, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., both took shots at the Republican front-runner. That task gets complicated if Trump is the leading Republican at the top of the ticket: She recently called Trump’s initial refusal to disavow an ex-Ku Klux Klan leader “disgusting and offensive”.

On CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning, host Jake Tapper asked the Republican front-runner about the support of white supremacist and former KKK grand wizard David Duke.

While Cornyn is sounding alarm bells about the damage Trump could do, other Republicans say whether or not Trump is a positive or a negative factor is a function of where you live.

Trump turned to see what was happening and waited, looking occasionally at the man who smiled, waved to Trump, and appeared to say something. They must reject any group or any cause that is built on bigotry.

“If our party is no longer working for the things we believe in – like defending the sanctity of life, stopping Obamacare, protecting the Second Amendment, etc. – then people of good conscience should stop supporting that party until it is reformed”, he wrote.

The News has noted Trump’s endorsement from a certain white supremacist.

And when House Speaker Paul Ryan said the Republican Party “does not prey on people’s prejudices”, Trump verbally smacked him, saying that if he and Ryan didn’t get along, “he’s going to have to pay a big price”.

Trump won at least six of the 11 Republican contests on Tuesday, from New England to a convincing sweep of the Southeast.

“I signed up for the party of Abraham Lincoln – not the party of David Duke and Donald Trump…”

WASHINGTON (AP) – Staring down the prospect of nominating Donald Trump for president, Republicans spiraled into a chaotic, last-ditch search Wednesday for a way to save the GOP from hitching its fortunes to an unpredictable celebrity candidate without alienating his throng of followers.

“Republicans created him by spending seven years appealing to some of the darkest forces in America”, Reid said on the Senate floor.

Carson, a conservative who briefly led opinion polls in the Republican race, said he would not attend Thursday’s debate in MI and he did not “see a political path forward” after he was shut out in Tuesday’s primary results.

Trump’s campaign said at the time the candidate “has disavowed all Super PACs offering their support and continues to do so”. It’s the product of the Our Principles PAC, founded by Katie Packer, who served as deputy campaign manager on Mitt Romney’s 2012 Republican presidential campaign.

Trump was asked Tuesday night about the scenario of a secret Plan B to take him out: “We’re a democracy”, he said.

Bentley said Trump’s rival Ohio Gov. John Kasich was “really the only grown-up in the room”, but that at the end of the day he will back whoever is the final GOP nominee.

“I’m not going to vote for Hillary Clinton, and given what we know about Donald Trump, I can’t vote for that guy either”, the first-term senator said. Trump later said he had not heard the questions well because of a bad earpiece.
