Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump threw another insult at his Democratic rival Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday, calling her a “devil” at a speech to supporters in Pennsylvania.

Trump said of Sanders: “He made a deal with the devil”.
Asked if he was anxious that his remarks would be met with backlash from fellow Republicans, Hanna told the Post Standard, “I can’t look back in my life when I leave this job and know that I didn’t speak the truth when it was important to do so”.
One of Clinton’s biggest problems – Americans’ negative view of her – remains, but it has eased somewhat since the convention last week in Philadelphia, the survey suggested.
“I found him profoundly offensive and narcissistic but as much as anything, a world-class panderer, anything but a leader”, Hanna wrote, describing him as “deeply flawed in endless ways”. I hope third-party voters this year will use their noggins and ask themselves if this country can afford Trump.
Also on Tuesday, amid fallout from Trump’s controversial feud with the family of a slain Muslim U.S. soldier, another Republican House member – Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) – announced he has “no plans” to vote for Trump. And in an interview in 2012 Trump had described Bill Clinton as “a really good guy”. “That matters. Mrs. Clinton has promoted numerous issues I have been committed to over the years including expanding education and supporting women’s health care”.
In contrast, many more Americans said they were less likely (51%) rather than more likely (36%) to vote for Donald Trump as a result of what they saw or read about the Republican convention.
