Trump bids for black vote in USA election

“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words”, Trump said.

More than half of US Republican voters were not pleased with Donald Trump as their nominee in the 2016 presidential race, according to Gallup poll.

That fresh and different has now become a liability and Trump recently doubled down on his message of being an outsider and doing things his way by hiring a conservative firebrand to become his new campaign manager. The Clinton campaign has $58.5 million cash on hand.

The campaign paid a Texas-based web design and marketing firm, Giles-Parscale, $8.4m in July, about twice as much as it made over the previous year. John McCain’s spent more than $32 million.

It appears the Trump campaign is making some changes.

The campaign paid about $2m for private jets and $500,000 to pay for expenses on Trump’s personal plane. He also paid his Alabama state director, Chess Bedsole, $64,000, three times his last payment, in December, even though Alabama has voted Republican for decades.

The Times also said its examination “underscored how much of Mr Trump’s business remains shrouded in mystery”.

Trump alleged that the immigration policy of Clinton would not help African-Americans in getting jobs. This week, she’ll spend at least $10 million more on ads.

Donald Trump launched the campaign’s first TV ad in the battleground states of Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.

She can afford her higher level of spending, the July campaign finance reports show.

And then for the trivial, there’s the campaign rally earlier this month, outlets reported that Trump asked a woman with a crying baby to leave. Still, he champions himself as the candidate who will fight for them.

This reinforces the idea that Clinton would depend heavily on support from black, Hispanic and other non-white Democrats in her effort to get a winning coalition to the polls in November, Gallup said.

“It’s raw hate. That’s what it is”, said O’Malley, who dropped his Democratic primary bid after receiving less than 1% support in the Iowa caucuses.

Clinton also led a separate Reuters/Ipsos poll that asked people to choose between Clinton, Trump, Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Jill Stein of the Green Party.

That is about the same amount it had paid him each month while he was running the campaign.

Lewandowski, a CNN contributor, called his former boss “a raw talent”.

The campaign paid Trump Organization employee Meredith McIver, who has worked as a Trump ghostwriter over the years. “This is so ignorant it’s staggering”, she wrote.
