Trump and Pence diverge on support for Ryan, McCain

Featured Posts

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is refusing to back House Speaker Paul D. Ryan in his upcoming primary election, saying in an interview Tuesday that he is “not quite there yet” in endorsing his party’s top-ranking elected official.

Trump also said he was not supporting Sen. John McCain in his primary in Arizona, and he singled out Sen. Kelly Ayotte as a weak and disloyal leader in New Hampshire, a state whose presidential primary Trump won handily.

With Ryan’s Wisconsin primary scheduled for next Tuesday, Trump praised the House speaker’s underdog opponent, Paul Nehlen, for running “a very good campaign.” Trump said that Ryan has sought his endorsement — an assertion that a Ryan spokesman denied later Tuesday — but that as of now he is only “giving it very serious consideration.”

“I like Paul, but these are horrible times for our country,” Trump said. “We need very strong leadership. We need very, very strong leadership. And I’m just not quite there yet. I’m not quite there yet.”

Trump’s refusal to back Ryan represents an extraordinary breach of political decorum and signals that the Republican Party remains divided two weeks after a national convention in Cleveland staged to showcase party unity.

How could a cat hold another cat hostage for comfort?

Trump has a limited vocabulary, so he's learned to add a word here and there to his original statement in an effort to pretend he has a great deal to say on any given subject.

There was an article that examined this. They found that Trump's speech is actually quite effective according to psychological studies. He makes these simple statements and he repeats what he says. The listener doesn't forget. Subconsciously it has the effect of making his statements seem strong and true.

Why would Trump automatically support Ryan when for the longest time, Ryan refused to support Trump?
