Trump slams Republican Party establishment

That means Ryan, R-Wis., can not afford to let this week’s trickle of defiant Republican lawmakers grow much larger. “What I want to do is I want to win for the people”. Republicans who repudiated Trump over the weekend include at least two down ticket candidates – New Hampshire Sen.

While the rebuke of Ryan and other “Republican” insiders is unlikely to hurt Trump at the polls (the #NeverTrump movement has permanently lost the GOP base), that doesn’t mean he is going to win.

The day after Ryan, the top Republican in Congress, told party lawmakers he was breaking with the presidential nominee and would not campaign for him, Trump issued a barrage of social media posts criticizing Republicans who have abandoned his campaign. “But there’s a whole sinister deal going on”, Trump said while campaigning in Ocala, Florida.

“Paul Ryan is focusing the next month on defeating Democrats, and all Republicans running for office should probably do the same”, Ryan spokesperson Brendan Buck said Tuesday, a statement echoing his response on Monday.

Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., said Ryan was under pressure from Republicans in conservative districts to back Trump and from candidates from more moderate areas to distance themselves from him.

During the lewd conversation captured by a microphone Trump was wearing on his lapel, Trump recounts how he tried to “f***” an unidentified married woman before bragging that he is “automatically attracted to beautiful (women)” and just starts “kissing them”.

This isn’t about winning an election or politics.

In the eyes of many Republican leaders, the release of the 2005 tape not only jeopardized Trump’s own uphill candidacy, but that of Republicans fighting to hold their majority in the Senate.

Almost half of all 332 incumbent Republican senators, congress members and governors have condemned Mr Trump’s remarks, and roughly 1 in 10 have called on him to drop out of the race, according to a Reuters review of official statements and local news coverage. He bashed other Republicans for “disloyalty”, causing some to worry that Ryan miscalculated in his decision to back away from Trump.

A congressional aide said Conway went through a list of differences between Trump and Clinton and talked about how to make the case for Trump and against Clinton.

“She’s completely disqualified from being president”, he said. “Feingold can support Hillary Clinton”, Johnson said. “She failed as secretary of state”. I think we will lose adherence to the Constitution for a long time in this country if she puts liberal judges on the bench.

Trump plans to campaign Monday in both Green Bay and West Allis near Milwaukee.

Trump’s campaign was thrown into crisis Friday with the release of audio from 2005 featuring Trump making lewd remarks and bragging about how his fame allowed him to “do anything” to women.
