GOP Sen. Fischer backs Trump despite call to step aside

Ryan has been relatively mum since he privately told House Republicans on Monday that he wouldn't campaign or be seen with Trump and would devote the four weeks to Election Day focused on maintaining his party's congressional majority. "They intend to make it into a reality - an arrogant, condescending and paternalistic reality".

The comments from Trump come after Ryan indicated he will no longer defend the Republican nominee and instead focus on helping the GOP maintain control of Congress.

"While Paul Ryan and Scott Walker won't be sharing the stage with Donald Trump on Monday, their silence and continued support for his presidential campaign is proof that they share his risky views", said Wisconsin Democratic Party spokesman Phil Shulman before Johnson also announced he wasn't going to be there. "I think I'm better off maybe without their support if you want to know the truth", he said of Republican leaders. "We're gonna continue to".

"I will work constructively with the new Speaker to advance sound legislation addressing the nation's urgent needs, and I will also hold him accountable to lead House in responsibly performing its representational duties and advancing our national interests", he said at the time.

What followed was a series of tweets by Trump blasting Ryan, Sen.

Trump has said he does not want or need Ryan's support, yet he has taken to Twitter repeatedly to criticize Ryan and other GOPers for their disloyalty.

"It's up to Mr. Trump to address these allegations himself", Johnson spokesman Brian Reisinger said in an email.

When asked by NBC News whether the party was "in crisis", Pence replied: "I don't find myself thinking a whole lot about party right now".

Trump has acknowledged the possibility of defeat in recent days, but on Tuesday he tried to shift the blame for his struggles on Republican defections and an election system that may be "rigged" against him. "I support the Republican ticket and I plan to vote for Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence on November 8".

House Speaker Paul Ryan says he won't campaign for Donald Trump. Fischer says when Trump made a decision to remain in the race, she chose to continue to support him. No man should speak that way about any woman, and no woman should be subjected to such lewd attention.

Glenn said on Fox News that he changed his mind after watching Trump during the second presidential debate.

"When Hillary Clinton says we are 'stronger together, ' what she means is we are stronger if we are all subject to the state", Ryan said.

According to FiveThirtyEight's election forecast, Clinton has an 83 percent chance of winning the election, compared to Trump's 16 percent.

"I wouldn't want to be in a foxhole with these people, including Ryan, especially Ryan", he added later in the interview, referring to Republicans who have turned their backs on him. I felt they were unacceptable. Tweeted Trump: "The very foul mouthed Sen".

Hillary Clinton's top adviser, meanwhile, raised the prospect of an extraordinary link between Russian Federation and the US presidential election.
