“We’re absolutely committed to electing Democrats up and down the ballot”, DNC spokesman Walter Garcia said Monday, pointing to the Houston office and trip to Texas on Tuesday by Anne Holton, the wife of vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are basically tied in the latest national poll. “That is not my job”.
Clinton characterized these comments as “unpatriotic” Thursday morning. “Because it suggests he will let Putin do whatever Putin wants to do and then make excuses for him”.
The full interview is set to be broadcast later Thursday.
Lauer, apparently blinded by Trump’s sparkling XY chromosomes, did not press him on this, though he did repeatedly ask him if he was prepared to be president.
The Democratic nominee took aim at Trump’s critical comments about Muslims, saying he has played into the hands of IS supporters. Trump told a town hall crowd in Columbus, Ohio last month that he is “afraid the election is going to be rigged”, without elaborating.
This doesn’t mean Trump is some sort of Manchurian Candidate in cahoots with Putin. Lauer implored both candidates not to go negative on each other during their responses.
Johonson said in his statement that he, “blanked”, and added, “It happens and it will happen again during the course of this campaign”.

Donald Trump raised $90 million in August, the campaign said Thursday.
She also rebuked an “undisciplined” Trump for discussing elements of a recent classified intelligence briefing during Wednesday’s commander-in-chief forum, in which he said he learned that Obama and other United States leaders “did not follow” the advice of USA national security experts. And he praised Vladimir Putin, a years-long adversary of Obama and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.
Clinton has said in the past that the IS group has used footage of Trump in its recruitment efforts.
Trump also renewed his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his disdain for President Barack Obama, saying that the Russian enjoyed an 82 percent approval rating.
Hillary Clinton says it was inappropriate for Republican Donald Trump to discuss his intelligence briefing.
“They have said that they hope that he is the president because it would give even more motivation to every jihadi”, she said. He said the media had insufficiently scrutinized Trump’s claims but said voters will make “a good decision”. “It was a kind of a letdown”, said Steven Padilla, a 33-year-old Army veteran who served in Iraq. That attack was carried out by a couple who had pledged allegiance to ISIS.
The speeches will speak to both what animates Clinton – faith, children and families – and how she will work to impact the economy and push national service. Clinton rarely touches on the issue of her faith and how it motivates her to serve. Indeed, Andrew C. McCarthy, writing in National Review, is now calling for the immediate, preemptive impeachment of Clinton so as to disqualify her from running for the presidency. And the Wisconsin Republican says when you do that prematurely, you’re likely to lose anyway. “Taking a bit longer view, however, we see a race that appears little changed from where it was as the GOP convention began in July, and at least in these four key states is very much up for grabs”.
He said that in only the game’s second quarter, Clinton started “stalling, not talking to the press, not doing many events”.

“What is Aleppo?” Johnson asked. “Classified material has a header which says ‘top secret, ‘ ‘secret, ‘ ‘confidential.’ Nothing – and I will repeat this, and this is verified in the report by the Department of Justice – none of the emails sent or received by me had such a header”.
