When I was about 12, I started a dumpster fire. We’ve got to build on the progress that we’ve made. I put a match to a branch still connected to the tree and with cinematic urgency the fire exploded all around the tree and soon the rest of the items in the dumpster.

“I am delighted to thank you for the important work you do every day and now more than ever we need you to keep holding leaders and candidates accountable”, Clinton said.
Surveys of American voters released this week show Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump trailing his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, by a fairly wide margin following last month’s Democratic National Convention.
An electoral vote-rich state that 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney lost by just 5 points, the Keystone State is arguably a must-win for Trump due to demographics that are uniquely suited to his appeal. That seems like a long shot today, but look at other dynamics in this race.
While “Clinton understands that this country must move toward universal healthcare”, Trump “wants to abolish the Affordable Care Act, throw 20 million people off the health insurance they now have, and cut Medicaid for lower-income Americans”, Sanders writes. The white population in most of these states leans overwhelmingly Republican, but a Democrat, in order to carry the state, has to do not terribly with white voters. Before that, you have to go back to 1996 when Florida and Tennessee backed Bill Clinton’s re-election campaign.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution poll was conducted between August 1 and 4, and surveyed 847 registered Georgia voters. GOP women give Trump a +34 rating, and Clinton receives a +41 score among Democratic men.
And if Clinton can merely keeps it close on the economy, that’s probably good enough for her. The graphic below, courtesy of the great Philip Bump, compares Clinton and Trump on the issues in the Fox News poll.
Hillary Clinton trounced Donald Trump in a trio of new polls released this week and is beating him handily in prediction markets as well.
Trump also did something he rarely does.
Asked if they feel more or less safe living in America than they did five to 10 years ago, 57 percent of Floridians said less safe, 11 percent more safe, and 28 percent said there was no change. They are deeply anxious about losing their income to low-wage, immigrant labor than they are about the “War on Christmas”.
Republicans should be scared because voters may make them pay in November for their foolish decision to nominate Donald Trump. These are the same voters who are highly skeptical of Obama’s free trade agreements.
It’s a similar line of attack that Trump has faced from Clinton, who has accused the brash billionaire of being “temperamentally unfit” to serve as commander in chief. And I’m putting off deciding if I’m going to vote for a third party candidate or actually vote for Hillary Clinton.

Clinton leads Trump by a margin of 48 percent to 42 percent in a head-to-head matchup and also leads by a margin of 43 percent to 39 percent when Libertarian and Green Party candidates are factored in.
