Donald Trump goes it alone

That sound you hear is Republican elected officials beating a hasty retreat from their party's presumptive presidential nominee.

Especially in Washington, Republicans are treating Donald Trump's presidential campaign like a sinking ship and are streaming toward the lifeboats.

"I continue to be discouraged by the direction of the campaign and comments that are made," said Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn. "In an effort to be constructive, I have offered public encouragement at important times, but I must admit that I am personally discouraged by the results."

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell kicked off remarks Tuesday by saying he wouldn't be talking about Trump or 2016 presidential politics.

The second-ranking Senate Republican, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, has said he is done talking about Trump until after the November election.
