Now Hillary Clinton has closed that gap. All told, Hillary’s tax hikes would suck $1.3 trillion from taxpayers’ pockets. “I’m running against the crooked media”.

“More time is spent covering fake “scandals” involving Trump than real scandals involving Hillary and our national security”.
Trump has slipped in opinion polls, and anxious Republican Party leaders have urged him to stop making off-the-cuff inflammatory statements that generate blanket, often negative, media coverage and distract from efforts to highlight what they see as Clinton’s many shortcomings.
Most of his tweets on Saturday and Sunday were aimed at the journalists who cover him.
“Voters never digested his message before they were distracted by yet another misstep”, said Peter Morici, a business professor at the University of Maryland.
Not surprisingly, Trump, the billionaire businessman from New York City who is making his first bid for elected office, insists that he was advocating political action. “Republicans close to his campaign were quoted as saying he was “exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered” by the political process”.
Trump’s campaign manager Paul Manafort echoed these thoughts Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper. Trump is very plugged in and he’s very connected. “You don’t see Hillary publicly campaigning in Idaho and Mississippi”.
Donald Trump’s campaign is on a tear against the media just as his GOP backers are urging him – again – to focus his attacks on his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton. Trump has refused to make his filings public, saying they’re under audit by the Internal Revenue Service and that he’ll release them only once that review is complete. But the week’s media coverage was dominated by his comments the following day in which he appeared to be encouraging second amendment supporters to threaten the life of Clinton or liberal members of the Supreme Court.
Pence said on “Fox News Sunday” that he remains proud to be Trump’s running mate and advised: “Stay tuned, it’s very early in this campaign”.
“Donald Trump chose Mike Pence based on a series of strengths”, Vane said. According to The Guardian, Trump wants to be able to sue the press for negative stories.
Tim Leazott, 33, an administrative assistant from Byfield, Mass., describes himself as a moderate Republican who supported Ohio Gov. John Kasich during the primaries and now backs Johnson because of his concerns about both Trump and Clinton.
A New York Times report suggest that Trump’s campaign is falling apart and the publication quoted sources from 20 people connected to Trump anonymously. Instead, the newspaper reported, he has grown “only more volatile and prone to provocation”, including his recent attacks on a Gold Star family whose son was killed in Iraq by a suicide bomber.

The Times story painted a dire picture of the Trump campaign; said that some of Trump’s advisers “now increasingly concede that Mr. Trump may be beyond coaching;” and asserted that “in private, Mr. Trump’s mood is often sullen and erratic, his associates say”. Trump has also accused the media of misconstruing comments he makes in interviews and his campaign trail.
