Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I muri i tana wikitoria i te pooti tuatahi a te Ropu Reipa i Washington, i haere a Trump ki New Mexico, i reira te kawana o te Ropu Reipa o Susana Martinez i whakakahore i tana huihuinga. I whakaekea e Trump a Martinez i te huihuinga, i muri mai ka patai, "Mena kei a au tetahi Republican kaore i taku taha, he aha ahau i tino pai ai ki taua tangata?" I muri tata mai, i te wā o tētahi kōrero i California, ka whakahoutia e ia ngā whakaekenga ki a Romney, Cruz, Kristol, me Jeb Bush. I kii te hoa whawhai o mua a Marco Rubio ka tukuna e ia nga kaitohutohu i wikitoria i te wa o te tuatahi ki te tautoko i a Trump, a ka mea ka pai ia ki te haere ki te ara pakanga mo Trump, mena ka tonoa. I mihi ano a Rubio ki a Trump mo nga korero whakahawea i tukuna e ia i te timatanga o te kaupapa. I whakaū a Trump i te whakaingoatanga a te Rōpū Reipa, i te wā i whakaū ai tētahi rārangi o ngā māngai i Dakota ki te Raki ki te tautoko i a ia. I taua wā, ka tīmata te Pāti Libertarian i tana
Ka tūtohutia mō te peresideni, i te pōti tuarua, ko te Kawana o New Mexico o mua, ko Gary Johnson, te kaitono peresideni o te rōpū i te tau 2012. I runga ano i te pooti tuarua, mo te perehitini tuarua, i whakaingoatia e te roopu te hoa whakahaere a Johnson, ko te Kawana o Massachusetts o mua a William Weld, i wehe noa i te Rōpū Reipa kia noho hei Libertarian. I kī a Trump i a Johnson he "kaitono o waho". Ehara a Johnson i te kaitono whakamutunga i whakaurua i te mutunga o Mei. I te mutunga o tana rapu mo tetahi atu ki a Trump, i kii a Kristol kua kitea e ia he kaitono motuhake "whakawhetai". I pūrongo a Bloomberg ko te kaitono ko te kaituhi iti-mohiotia a David A. French o te "National Review". I te ra whakamutunga o Mei, i tu a Trump i tetahi huihuinga panui i whakaatu ai ia i nga mahi atawhai a nga hoia i whakawhiwhia e ia i muri i te kohinga $ 5.6 miriona i te wa o te kohinga moni i whakahaerehia e ia i te Hanuere hei utu mo te haere ki te tautohetohe. I whakahē a Trump i te pāpāho ā-motu mō tana pūrongo i tana pakanga, ā, i kī ia i tētahi kairipoata he "kino". Na te 7 o Hune i California i mua, i whakawhiwhia a Clinton ki te tautoko a te Kawana o California a Jerry Brown. Ko nga pooti whakamutunga i whakaatu i a ia me te rua nga tohu i runga ake i a Sanders i te kawanatanga. I roto i te toharite o Real Clear Politics, i arahi ia i a Trump i te pooti whanui a motu mo te 1.5%.
