What Secretary of State Jon Husted said: “Hillary Clinton is wrong when she says it is hard to vote and Donald Trump is wrong when he says the system is rigged”. The entire ad can be seen here.

The ABC News/Washington Post poll shows that for both Trump and Clinton, 60 percent view them as untrustworthy and dishonest. Ricardo Reyes is one of the founders of the Republicans for Clinton movement.
He doubled down on Saturday, taking to Twitter to suggest that Clinton is “brainwashed” continuing the theme of saying that the former secretary of State is both weak and incredibly risky at the same time.
Reyes, along with his partner John Stubbs, are the men behind Republicans for Clinton 2016.
This announcement made him the first Republican member of Congress to openly announce their support for the Democratic presidential nominee.
It’s going to be a formidable task to try to recycle Hillary Clinton.
The new averages reflect a sharp increase in support for Clinton compared with pre-convention polls.
Trump took to questioning the stability of Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton’s stability over the weekend, calling her “a risky liar” during an appearance Saturday night in New Hampshire.
Trump’s latest barrage of attacks against Clinton – while not a departure from his brand of personal and aggressive attacks against his opponents – did mark an escalation in his attacks, just as Clinton and her allies are stepping up their attacks against Trump.
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani says Trump’s endorsements, coming after his refusal to endorse the trio, show that Trump “has the ability and the understanding to realize that there are going to be disagreements and you’ve got to be able to reach out to the entire party”.
The Clinton campaign and deep-pocketed Democratic groups such as Priorities USA have poured a combined $66 million into television and radio advertising in those 11 states.
Part of this is certainly that Clinton’s convention was successful – and that the Democrats’ outreach to Republican moderates had an effect. The disenchanted range from strategist Cyrus Krohn to Meg Whitman and Seth Klarman, to former GOP Senator Gordon Humphrey. Donors were expected to contribute $2,700 or more to attend the gatherings, one of which was at the home of Bill Koch, brother of Charles and David Koch, wealthy long-time donors to Republican causes who have refused to endorse Trump. The Democratic nominee is being powered by the same coalition of women, younger voters, and Hispanics that is keeping her close in Arizona.
“It has gone from a trickle to a torrent”.
On Friday at a Wisconsin rally not attended by Ryan or Gov. Scott Walker, Trump reversed course and endorsed all three lawmakers, saying, “We have to unite”. Other notable Republicans who have withdrawn their support for Trump include Barbara Bush, Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, Richard Armitage, Hank Paulson and Sally Bradshaw.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s statement drew rebuke from fact checkers as well as Trump, who earlier Saturday tweeted that, “Anybody whose mind “SHORT CIRCUITS” is not fit to be our president!” The Washington Post pointed out that we are still in the throes of post-convention uncertainty about where the contenders actually stand, though, and that the next opportunity for a real chance will be after the first general election presidential debate, scheduled for September 26.
