Clinton’s support among self-identified Democrats climbed from 86 percent in mid-July to 92 percent in the last poll. “Clinton wants a job killing package that will add everyone’s tax bill”, Trump said, then mentioned Clinton’s speech last week where she admitted she would raise taxes on the middle class. But she appears to have been aided as well by days of controversy that Trump generated with his sharp criticism of a Muslim-American family whose son, Army Capt.

But a host of independent groups crunching the numbers soon concluded otherwise.
Moore estimated the revised plan would cost about $2 to $3 trillion over 10 years – but said that number would be offset by cuts to federal spending and other savings. But like so many of his plans, he declined to provide specifics.
