Turning our focus back here in this country to the race for the white house and the infighting that is rocking the Republican Party. Donald trump is making it clear that hes moving forward with or without the blessings of House Speaker paul ryan. Ryan said that he wasnt ready to support trump. Now former Vice President ial nominee sarah palin is weighing in saying the House Speaker should lose his seat. On abcs this week trump told George Stephanopoulos party unity is not a necessity. Does the party have to be together . Does it have to be unified . Im very different than everybody else perhaps thats ever run for office. I actually dont think so. I think that it doesnt have to be unified . No, i dont think so. I think it would be better if it were unified. I think there would be something good about it. But i dont think it actually has to be unified in the traditional sense. Trump is already walking back his tax plan. He says by the time it gets negotiated, its going to be different. He now predicts taxes on the wealthy will be higher than initially stated. As trump pivots to the general election hes also firing a barrage of attacks at both hillary and bill clinton. His latest attack was aimed at the former president calling him the worst abuser of women in the history of politics. But hillary says shell stick to the issues and hopes to pick up voters driven away by trump. And so i think that for a lot of people, again, who take their vote seriously and who really see this as a crossroads kind of election, i am asking people to come join this campaign and ive had a lot of outreach from republicans in the last days who say that they are interested in talking about that. Meanwhile, clinton is looking to wrap up the controversy over her private email serve letter are she insists shes ready to talk to anybody any time. A judge ruled last week that clinton may have to testify under oath but she says no one from the fbi has reached out to her to discuss the investigation.
