Top Republican Ryan distances himself from Trump White House bid

More than a quarter of the Republican Party’s top ranks – members of the US Congress and state governors – are now declining to support Donald Trump, a new survey has found.

Although this does not officially take away Ryan’s endorsement of his party’s nominee, the lack of support has spread throughout the country, including Bloomington and Monroe County as a whole. At the time, Minnesotans overwhelmingly preferred Marco Rubio, giving the senator from Florida his only first-place victory of the night. That appears inevitable. The Trump wing and the Ryan wing will find it hard to co-exist after the acrimony unleashed by the campaign.

Flanagan spokesman Scott Reif made a distinction between positions held by the Senate GOP and Trump’s national candidacy, saying the Senate passed women’s equality legislation that “ensures equal pay for equal work, protects the victims of domestic violence and creates zero tolerance for sexual harassment in the workplace”.

Trump is still polling in the lead in Texas and even those at Tuesday’s Texas Democrat event said they expect he’ll win the state, although with much smaller margins than in the past. “The presidential race has been a big topic of discussion”, Rep. Jim Knoblach, R-St.

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has turned his ire against his own party, ridiculing its leaders in a series of tweets and an interview on Tuesday.

In his new scorched-earth campaign – after a brief attempt to expand his base by moderating his rhetoric – Mr. Trump continued his attack on his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s character and the mainstream media, naming several platforms and journalists, besides Republican leaders. Speaker Paul Ryan’s declaration that he would no longer defend Mr Trump and advised House Republicans and Senators to do their best to win their seats was the signal for all-out war.

Three days after calling on Donald Trump to quit the presidential race, Sen. “And I’m concerned about who Hillary would appoint”.

This is more than just a point of pride. Republican support for Mr. Trump has never been deep; pluralities carried him to the nomination. Those will actually have a day-to-day effect on their lives. Jerry Knowles, R-124, said.

But they are suddenly dealing with another problem: an impulsive and bellicose billionaire with an army of loyal supporters willing to exact retribution against elected officials they feel have abandoned them. But it has infuriated other Republicans and conservatives in and out of Congress, especially Trump’s die-hard backers – who consider Ryan’s decision a betrayal that will weaken Trump’s chances of winning. One said Ryan told Republicans to do what “you think is right personally, and what you need to do politically”. “I would say he’s on unsafe footing if he’s going to continue to take this path”. “However, if he can’t prevent himself from panicking and helping the enemy in a situation like this, well, then we’ll find out”, Rohrabacher said Monday. “Even though I’m a staunch Republican, I believe strongly that Ryan went too far this time“.

For now, though, the reaction is optimism on the part of Democrats, and concern from Republicans.

“So you look at both sides of the issues”.

“They’ve gone so far out on this limb”, King said on the Laura Ingraham radio show. “They know their districts”. That dramatized how Ryan is trying to guide House candidates through rocky political waters Trump has roiled with regularity.

Still, Layman doesn’t associate herself with any candidate, including Trump. The most common response in a Quinnipiac University poll last month about why voters see Trump as unqualified had to do with his temperament. “If I bring up the fact that I’m running as a Republican at the door, they say, ‘That really doesn’t make a difference to me”.

Republicans say that the potential for depressed turnout is one of the most concerning potential impacts of the tape.
