You have to concentrate on the people who absolutely hate Hillary Clinton; you have to show them that no matter how evil they believe she is, she’s still a better choice than Donald Trump. On Tuesday it released an open letter from 88 retired generals and admirals who endorse Trump.

It continues: “For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next commander-in-chief”.
The start of full-fledged campaigning opens a pivotal month, culminating in the first presidential debate September 26 at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.
Regardless of whom voters said they would support, almost six in 10 said they expect Clinton to win the November general election, while just over a third said they expect Trump to claim victory, the survey found.
Over the weekend, Trump said the Fed was keeping interest rates low so that other asset prices don’t go down.
The ad is airing on cable and in Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
For Trump and Clinton, Tuesday’s security focus came in two Southern swing states – Virginia and Florida – with large populations of veterans and military families. Clinton and Trump will participate in a joint forum Wednesday sponsored by the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America and broadcast on NBC and MSNBC – their first joint appearance of the campaign.
Clinton’s message was amplified by her running mate, Virginia Sen. Voters think Clinton has the better temperament to serve in the White House and is more prepared to take on the responsibilities of commander in chief. Ms. Clinton is estimated to capture 244 Electoral College votes, against the halfway mark of 270.
Trump, meanwhile, continued to face questions about his immigration policy a day after refusing to rule out a pathway to legal status for immigrants in the country illegally. Pena Nieto later tweeted that it was addressed and he “made it clear” to Trump that Mexico would not pay. She made nice with the news media by opening up her campaign plane and chatting with reporters.
Clinton said that in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she – as a NY senator – “worked to make our country safer and to rebuild NY and the Pentagon”.
The ad buy follows a six-figure cash infusion by the Clinton campaign into the Democratic Party of Georgia, as well as news that both the campaign and the Democratic National Committee have dispatched staff to the state to boost the party’s efforts. She expressed alarm “about the credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections” through hacking, saying, “We’ve never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process”.
“We are going to have to take those threats and attacks seriously”, Clinton told reporters traveling with her from OH to IL.
The first time Clinton walked to the back section of the plane on Monday reserved for press, she said with an enthusiastic smile: “I’ve been just waiting for this moment”.
Under extensive criticism from her rival and journalists for not holding a full press conference in nine months, she answered questions for more than 22 minutes on several topics, including tensions with Russian Federation over accusations of cyber-espionage.

Late last week, FBI published scores of pages summarizing interviews with Clinton and her top aides from the recently closed criminal investigation into her use of a private email server in the basement of her NY home. Thirty-five percent of voters view Clinton as honest and trustworthy, compared to Trump’s 50 percent.
