A Letdown: Trump Hurt By Lack Of Full Republican Support
Donald Trump
Republican candidate Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday suggested her leader was hurt by not having the full support of the party.
If Trump loses narrowly it would be "too bad" that "we have former presidents not voting for us, former nominees not voting for us", The Washington Post quoted Conway as telling MSNBC.
"That's got to hurt," she said, according to the exchange reported by the Wall Street Journal. "When you talk about growing the party, the idea was growing it, but having that base together." The last Republican president, George W Bush, and the party's last nominee, Mitt Romney, both refused to support Trump, with Romney being especially outspoken in his disdain.
While Conway appeared to be largely complaining about those party standard bearers, it did seem like an about face from earlier in the day when the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee held a joint conference call with reporters to discuss how well situated they were to win.
