Geee Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Washington Examiner: Donald Trump's insistence that a U.S. judge of Mexican heritage must recuse himself from a Trump University lawsuit left Senate Republicans exasperated Tuesday as they tried to juggle their support for the nominee with the need to back away from his controversial comments. "I think all of us were disappointed with what he said," Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D., told reporters Tuesday. "His comments are not helping," Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., said when asked about Trump's effort to keep the judge off his case. So far, few GOP lawmakers were saying Trump should drop out, and indicated a grudging need to support the nominee in order to fulfill key Republican objectives, including filling the vacant Supreme Court seat. Republicans also say they want to implement tax reform, healthcare reform and other big policy initiatives next year, and they can't do that if a Democrat wins the White House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
