Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan Friday night, a move the GOP nominee is signaling a new phase in his presidential run. "So in our shared mission, to make America great again, I support and endorse our speaker of the House, Paul Ryan," Trump said in a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. "He is a good man. We may disagree on a couple of things, but mostly we agree.” Along with endorsing Ryan, Trump also endorsed Senator John McCain of Arizona and Senator Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire in their primary races. “I hold in the highest esteem Senator John McCain, for his service to our country, in uniform and in public office" Trump said. "I fully support and endorse his reelection." "I also fully support & endorse Kelly Ayotte of New …show more content…
"We need unity. We have to win this election. This is truly one of the most important elections in my lifetime.” In a statement released in anticipation of Trump's announcement, Ryan's primary challenger, Paul Nehlen praised Trump's leadership, adding his refusal to endorse Ryan "sent a clear signal to Wisconsin voters." “Given his stature as our party’s official nominee, Mr. Trump’s decision to support the Republican Speaker is appropriate and is a display of true leadership,” Nehlen wrote. "Mr. Trump understands that in his official capacity as our party’s standard-bearer, the Republican Party must unite ahead of November’s elections to fix the critical issues facing our nation." Earlier this week, Trump declined to endorse Paul in an interview with The Washington Post, echoing the House Speaker line once used against him that he was "not quite there yet” to
In a Charisma News article dated October 5, entitled “Why I Believe Donald Trump is the Prophesied President, he said this: "I heard the Lord say: ‘Donald Trump is a wrecking ball to the spirit of political correctness.’”
It is also interesting to note that Trump has continually criticized and threatened his own party through social media for not passing his legislation. In late August, Trump used Twitter to renew his assault on fellow Republicans in Congress, writing that he had asked Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnel, and house speaker, Paul Ryan, to attach legislation to increase the country’s borrowing limit to a bill related to veterans (Smith). Unfortunately to his dismay, McConnel and Ryan did not do it, so he took to twitter. “Now we have a big deal with Dems holding us up – could have been so easy – now a mess” (Smith).
He’s chosen another former Republican governor as a running mate, one with fundraising bona fides, and is seen by many as the great tan hope of the Libertarian Party, a man who, as Johnson recently described himself to a crowd of the faithful, might be able to take “your weekly meeting that’s occurring in the tree house” and move it to an auditorium.

For months, the crowded GOP field all pledged to commit their support on whoever the eventual party’s nominee would be. That was months ago. Now, the three remaining candidates have reversed their earlier vows to support the eventual GOP nominee.
Using rhetorical jujitsu, he reframes Republican arguments into a context that ensures that his own policies appear very strong. His opponents in the audience were often at a loss, never confident in whether or not they should applaud. Paul Ryan, visible throughout, makes it very hard to discern what policies he supports and opposes by basically having no reaction at all. He shifts uncomfortably in his chair throughout the speech, and barely claps for anything. Obama’s emphasis on a shared American identity (55:00) is ultimately a criticism against both right and left—against the sort of right-winger who sees Obama himself as a strange foreigner and the sort left-winger who sees ethnic or gender identity as the most important aspect of an individual’s identity. Obama’s rhetoric at odds with both of
The only credibility threat that was directly addressed was when he stated that "he has no more campaigns to run for, so he was buckling down," then the Republicans all led a rousing, standing, applause, and he addressed them with a quick comment of ,"I won all of mine." Showing his competitiveness and was his way of directly addressing a public

Ask yourself two questions: One, why is it that the mainstream media so desperately wants Donald Trump to be the Republican nominee? And why is it John Boehner supports Donald Trump?

Romney has not yet formally endorsed any candidate in this Republican nomination election cycle, but has come out against the front-runner Donald Trump. Earlier this month, Romney blasted Trump during a speech where he encouraged voters to vote for Trump’s rivals.
As Super Tuesday approaches, growing tension between the top three Republican nominees is higher than ever. During the debate prior to Super Tuesday, both Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz carefully strategized attacks against front runner, Donald Trump. Although this tactic proved effective in shooting down Trump at the debate, Susan Davis from NPR looks as it being “too little too late”, saying that this should have been happening several months ago in order to inhibit Trump’s success. Just as things were starting to look down for Trump following the debate, he was able to gain momentum the next day by revealing Chris Christie’s endorsement. Clearly, this came as a shock to many people considering that Trump and the New Jersey Governor share very
Donald Trump recently gave a speech discussing rising Radical Islamic Terrorism, immigration from the Middle East, and a need for a rise in national security while Manchester, New Hampshire on June 13th 2016. He centers his whole speech around discussing how bad a President his opponent, Hillary Clinton, would be in difficult times. Trump graduated from the Wharton School of Finance in 1968 with a bachelor 's degree in economics, and has become a very successful businessman. He’s the Republican nominee for this upcoming presidential election, and is a very controversial candidate and person. He has come under fire for many of his views that he discusses in his June 13th speech. While Trump does make some agreeably points, he renders his speech ineffective because of his heavy reliance on Clinton’s opinion to form his own. If Trump were to become President, his stance on important issues would need to be reached with careful consideration, and not just based on doing the opposite of his opponents.
