Clinton calls on media to step up scrutiny of Trump

Obama to Howard graduates: Profound changes lie ahead

In his first remarks about Donald Trump's status as the GOP's presumptive nominee, President Barack Obama on Friday urged the media to undertake tougher scrutiny of presidential candidates.

On Friday, Bush's disavowal of Trump landed as a bitter blow.

Trump also dismissed House Speaker Paul Ryan's refusal to back him as Paul simply "trying to be cute", noting they previously had a very pleasant phone conversation three weeks ago.

Democrats were generally steering clear of the Republican infighting, letting the party's leaders tear at each other.

But Wiseman said after the controversial 2016 MS legislative session where many believe Republicans with a super majority in both chambers overreached in pushing their agenda and with Trump's controversial statements, "I hear people who say they are independent, but in reality probably vote Republican 98 percent of the time say, 'I am going to pay more attention to the Democratic candidates'".

But Trump's clumsy effort to reach out to one alienated group of voters triggered an immediate backlash after he tweeted a photograph of himself eating a taco bowl, adding "I love Hispanics!" Ryan's statement on Thursday that he was not ready to embrace Trump's nomination set off the fireworks.

During the news conference, Obama also took a dig at the Republican leadership that has resulted in the rise of Trump.

Fighting with Obama is a battle Trump would likely relish as he tries to rally support within his own party.

"Trump has gone radioactive", Democratic National Committee spokesman Mark Paustenbach said.

Former Texas Governor and presidential candidate Rick Perry, who once called Trump's candidacy a "cancer on conservatism", also endorsed Trump Thursday.

He said the performance of Democrats in MS in recent presidential elections has been "strictly organic" without the aid of any funds from the national party to help get out voters or energize people to vote Democrat. Gov. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, whose family financed millions of dollars' worth of ads attacking Trump in the primaries, introduced Trump in Omaha on Friday.

Republicans here have expressed mixed opinions about whether to support him.

Trump thanked Dole for the endorsement, saying Dole "is a wonderful man and it is a great honor to have his support".

Stipanovich predicted that the stances taken by Ryan and the Bush family would hurt Trump with traditional party donors.

A report while talking about Ryan's intention and his fears that Donald trump will lose the elections says that Ryan will want to find a balance between accepting Trump, 69, as the nominee and keeping some distance from him, just in case the real estate mogul's campaign ends in disaster. "I forgot about the one hour where he went wild".
