Clinton Ad Hits Trump on Tax Returns

Their response – across party lines – was notable.

Currently, 41% of registered voters say they would vote for Hillary Clinton if the general election were held today, while 37% say they would vote for Donald Trump, 10% say they would vote for Gary Johnson and 4% say they would vote for Jill Stein.

Opinions about how Clinton might do as president are not as negative.

Clinton and her vice presidential running mate, Tim Kaine, released their taxes last week. But Trump refused to be managed. That is, where Clinton’s building an operation and Trump isn’t, polls are likely underrepresentative of her strength. Trump himself jumped into the fray this week, claiming Hillary Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face, ” even as Clinton supporters punched holes in a poorly written testimonial from Trump’s physician declaring that he is in “astonishingly good health” and “If elected, Mr. Trump, I can state unequivocally, will be the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency”.

Amid the cautious optimism, Democrats are willing to concede that anything is believable given the erratic nature of the Trump campaign. Instead, the official said the campaign will be unpredictable and won’t follow the standard playbook.

Clinton, campaigning Wednesday in Cleveland, said voters should not be fooled by any Trump efforts to revamp his candidacy.

Meanwhile, a confident Clinton Campaign has said the latest restructuring of his team only shows that Trump Campaign has doubled down on small, nasty and divisive instincts. Iowa is expected to have ballots ready by the end of September, as are IL and two other states. “I talk to reporters”, said Trump at a rally in Maine in June. “He can hire and fire anybody he wants from his campaign”.

The tone Hillary Clinton sets during a transition and inauguration will key to potentially improving her image, said Chris Lehane, who worked in opposition research in her husband’s administration. But, he added, “our first responders will be ready”.

I think it is a missed opportunity. Letting Trump be Trump is just not a campaign strategy. “I think it’s about management and making sure you have the right number of people in place to manage an organization that has grown dramatically”. The NRA and two outside Super PACs have spent more than $10 million on ads backing Trump.

Trump says his campaign chair, Paul Manafort, will maintain his current role.

Yet for all the attention the emails get, recent preference polls show Clinton with a solid and steady lead over Trump in a series of competitive battleground states. “He’s a failed candidate and failing campaign”.

“We are going to be more technical education”.

At Clinton’s Brooklyn headquarters, there have been no shakeups or high-profile departures and no layering of senior aides on top of one another. And just up the street, Cathy Santa opens the door to the motorcycle parts business she started 28 years ago….

In a major shake up, Trump appointed Breitbart News executive chairman Stephen Bannon as his campaign’s CEO and GOP campaign strategist Kellyanne Conway his campaign manager.

Early voting has become a critical, even decisive factor in presidential elections: President Barack Obama was sufficiently ahead in the early vote in Iowa and Nevada in 2012 that his campaign shifted resources from those states to others, according to former advisers, who also credited enthusiastic early voting in 2008 for his victory in North Carolina and elsewhere.
