Trump Refuses to Endorse Paul Ryan & John McCain, Widening GOP Split
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, friction is increasing between Trump and top Republican
leaders. On Monday, in an interview with The Washington Post, Trump
refused to endorse the re-election campaigns of Arizona Senator John Mc
Cain and Wisconsin Congressmember Paul Ryan. Trump praised Ryan's
opponent in the race, saying he was "running a very good campaign."
Ryan's opponent, Paul Nehlen, has defended Trump's remarks about the
Khans, while both Ryan and Mc Cain publicly distanced themselves from
Trump over his comments.
