Trump trashes Ryan: ‘I don’t want his support’

October 13 00:39 2016

“I don’t want his support, I don’t care about his support”, Trump said, according to excerpts of an interview with Fox News.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s campaign hammered Republicans for recoiling from Trump at this late date, and she urged voters to hold GOP candidates accountable for standing by their nominee for months.

“I’m just exhausted of non-support” from leaders of the Republican party, Trump told Fox News on Tuesday night, saving special ire for House Speaker Paul Ryan, who told Republicans on Monday that he’ll no longer campaign for Trump.

Trump also criticized Republican Arizona Sen.

In backing away from Trump, Ryan and others are hoping to insulate themselves and their majorities on Capitol Hill from the baggage weighing down the nominee’s flagging campaign.

As the party of small government and constitutional liberty, it’s not clear why its members feel so good about locking up political opponents like Hillary Clinton.

“I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m going to say it, and I hate to say it”, before announcing his plan to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Mrs. This is not an isolated incident: Trump has repeatedly been caught slut-shaming women and degrading them regularly, and he did not seem particularly remorseful for this incident either.

The polls were conducted before the tape surfaced and before a New York Times report indicated Trump avoided paying federal income taxes for 18 years after declaring a almost billion dollar loss to the IRS.

It remains to be seen how voters will greet Trump’s strategy of trying to shift the conversation to Bill Clinton’s past, and how they will react to his fierce attacks on Clinton, who sometimes fares better among female voters when she is viewed as a victim.

“I wouldn’t want to be in a foxhole with a lot of these people, that I can tell you, including Ryan ― by the way, including Ryan, especially Ryan”, Trump said. “You just have to be a decent human being”, Obama said while campaigning for Clinton in North Carolina.

Almost half of all 331 incumbent Republican senators, House members and governors have condemned Trump’s lewd remarks on the video, and roughly one in 10 has called for him to drop out of the race, Reuters says.

The rupture between Trump and the party that nominated him was triggered by defections from prominent Republicans after Trump was caught on tape boasting of grabbing women by their genitals. Ryan hesitated in endorsing Trump, saying first that he wanted to make sure Trump shared the policy agenda of House Republicans; he later endorsed Trump but continued to scold the candidate for inflammatory comments.

An “unshackled” Donald Trump makes Hillary Clinton’s top aides happy, but it does come with concerns, they said Tuesday. “But I think it is very unbecoming”.

He also said he’s not anxious about appealing to women voters in light of his less 2005 hot-mic video that re-emerged last week.

While attending the Trump rally in Wilkes-Barre on Monday night, Connolly said that Trump was clearly embarrassed by those remarks but remained calm and on point.

On Monday, Ryan told his conference he would no longer defend Trump nor campaign with him, and said his goal was to maintain Republican control of the House in November’s general election.

“Hillary Clinton doesn’t have the fortitude, strength or stamina to lead in our world”, the narrator says. The most significant of those is the most senior elected Republican in the United States, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Paul Ryan.

By way of comparison, in September 2012, The Hill newspaper wrote that only “a handful” of Republican lawmakers were declining to support GOP nominee Mitt Romney, naming only three.

It is an extraordinary demonstration of the fracture Trump’s candidacy has revealed in the Republican Party.

Clinton knew that she did not have to do much to take advantage of the troubles the video created for Trump. “I agree with her 100 percent”, he said.

Donald Trump has a new target: “Crooked polls”.

Mica Mosbacher, a Trump fundraiser and surrogate, said she was invited to a fundraiser next week for Ryan’s joint fundraising committee but is not going to attend or contribute because of the way Ryan has treated Trump.
