This Thursday, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump will come to Capitol Hill for meetings with Speaker Paul Ryan, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican Senate and House Members. In order to move past the denial stage, and come to grips with the damaging reality of running on a Trump Ticket, will Stefanik meet with Donald Trump so that she can learn his name and stop calling him “the nominee”?
After Donald Trump won the Republican nomination last Tuesday, Stefanik said she would support her “party’s nominee in the fall,” but she won’t say Trump’s name.
What does that mean? Donald Trump is The Nominee. Does she actually think that voters won’t know the difference?
Clearly, Stefanik has a lot of questions for Donald Trump, given that they will share the Trump Ticket in November.
“With Donald Trump visiting Capitol Hill this week, House Republicans are waking up from a bad dream, only to find that it’s reality. No matter how evasive, vague and downright confusing House Republicans are in their reaction to Trump securing the nomination, the Trump Ticket is real, and it is damaging. Given Elise Stefanik’s inability to conjure up his name, she must want to sit down to start ironing out all those kinks on their Trump Ticket,” said Bryan Lesswing at the DCCC.
