“You would think we should be focusing on Hillary Clinton and all of her deficiencies”. Tim Kaine, D-Va. waves to the crowd as he is introduced during a rally at the J Douglas Galyon Depot in Greensboro, N.C., Wednesday, Aug. 3, 2016.

Supporters of Republican Donald Trump urged him to get back on message on Thursday after a week of dropping opinion poll numbers and a war of words with ranking Republicans over his USA presidential campaign.
Clinton has already won a victory of sorts when the Koch brothers announced they would not be supporting Trump financially this year and would use their virtually unlimited reserves only to help Republicans in down-ballot races. One of the people associated with the campaign said Mr. Trump privately blames his own staff for failing to quiet the backlash from his own party after he criticised an American Muslim family whose son, a U.S. Army captain, was killed in Iraq.
The officials, including one with direct knowledge of Priebus’ thinking, were granted anonymity to discuss internal strategy because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly. And on managing the nuclear arsenal-which is a threshold issue for most Americans-Trump registers trust from an anemic 68 percent of Republican voters.
Trump declined to endorse both senators, as well as House Speaker Paul Ryan. “Take a look at what’s going on and then worldwide, and we let ISIS take this position”, Trump, 70, said.
“Paul Ryan’s a good guy, actually”, Trump added.
The early days of the general election campaign have been a contortionist act for Pence, who has remained loyal to Trump while trying to maintain his reputation as a principled, down-to-earth Midwesterner with the primary mission of acting as an emissary to the conservative and evangelical wings of the Republican Party.
Small donations have reportedly become the driving force that’s helping Donald Trump inch closer to Hillary Clinton’s fundraising numbers.
“It’s so sad, so disgusting”, Trump said of the payment as he campaigned in Maine.
“People ask me, ‘What do you think about Trump?'” Coffman says.
In an interview later Wednesday with Florida’s WPEC-TV, Trump was asked if he was being “baited into battles”.
As you can see, Democrats are not quite as unified now as they were prior to the DNC in 2008. That’s even as 61 percent of voters said they thought Clinton was dishonest. Last week, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg-a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent-delivered a stinging rebuke of Trump at the Democratic National Convention.
Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort told CBS’s “This Morning” that the campaign is comfortable where it stands now and said the news media have built a false narrative in which Democrats are controlling the race to the November 8 election.
Clinton is ahead of Trump by 9 points, 41% to 32%, among likely MI voters, according to a Detroit news/WDIV-TV poll.
Donald Trump is hemorrhaging support among the people that should understand him best: billionaires.
Trump blamed the media – “so dishonest” – for growing criticism of his recent statements and his unwillingness to accept guidance from senior advisers. Clinton takes 43 percent followed by Trump with 39 percent.
Consistent with previous presidential elections in Pennsylvania, the Republican nominee’s biggest leads are in the southwest region of the state, while Clinton’s advantage is in the northeast, most notably in Philadelphia.
Donald Trump’s campaign chairman is playing down a rift between the Republican nominee and House Speaker Paul Ryan.
