In other words, in one week, Trump has insulted one of the leading voices of American evangelicalism, attacked the House speaker, rejected conservatives and repudiated key tenets of the Republican Party for the past 30 years. Moreover, while Clinton is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation over her email practices, Trump is facing several two lawsuits over the fraudulent Trump University, including one brought by New York District Attorney Eric Schneiderman, that could well go to trial before November.

National polling averages have Hillary Clinton with a six-point popular vote lead.
Michael Hayden, former director of central intelligence, was quoted by the Clinton campaign as deriding Trump’s proposal to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the United States because Trump says some could be terrorists.
Donald Trump says he plans to win the White House largely on the strength of his personality, brushing off the need for a heavy investment in what he calls the “overrated” use of data to shape campaign strategy and get out the vote. “It’s a risk. But when it comes to Trump and what it means for individual candidates or the broader future of the GOP, everything is a risk”.
In Connecticut, voters weren’t interested in salacious details from McMahon’s past, such naming her yacht “Sexy Bitch” or, in the wrestling arena, degrading a woman portraying her husband’s mistress by ordering her to undress, crawl around the ring, and “bark like a dog”.

I have a humble suggestion for how the political establishment – particularly the Republican political establishment – can kill all three of these allegations with one stone. Correct the Record, a pro-Clinton super-PAC, e-mailed reporters on Friday, “DONALD DUCKS ON RELEASING HIS TAXES”. Ryan was complimentary of Trump after the meeting, publicly calling him “warm and genuine”, though reports of the meeting note that Ryan asked Trump to tone down his immigration rhetoric. “Because Donald does this naturally”.
At last week’s convention in Dallas of the Texas Republican Party, which I attended as a delegate from the Erath County Republicans, I found resigned acceptance and even some lukewarm support for Trump, notwithstanding the fact that he had routed Texas Republican hero Ted Cruz in the primaries.
Among the recipients of his email was Dan Renberg, who also disclosed lobbying work for the Trump Organization back in 1999. “The way he has talked about women and other people concerns me”. You have millions of new voters that have come to the Republican Party.
