Donald Trumps middle-of-the-night tweets about a beauty queen sex tape are frustrating Republican supporters, who worry once again that their candidates lack of discipline will hamper his campaign.
They say Trump needs to keep his focus on Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, prepare for their second debate, on Oct. 9 in St. Louis, and quit taking the bait from Democrats. Its unlikely the Miss Universe flap is hurting Trump with current supporters, but its hard to see how it helps grow our vote, said one GOP lawmaker who supports Trump.
Maybe it's quaint conventional wisdom. But it seems he would help himself to talk about the real world problems that every day voters face, the lawmaker said.
Trump has not been able to let go his feud with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.
