When #Hillary Clinton accused Donald Trump of hobnobbing with racists and other assorted unsavory folks, she was following the standard Democratic playbook for hitting Republicans.

Even though the Republican Party Nominee was associated various times with the acitivity with the American Financial Sector from Wall Street, this year most investors bet against the Donald Trump.
In fact, the real Donald Trump outsourced his products and jobs to 12 different countries.
The campaign is now targeting the battleground states of New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada, Virginia, and Colorado, putting Trump on the air in a total of nine states.
Expert Sam Stovall says that most times the S&P 500 ended up predicting the final results. On Election Day, Perot got 19% of the popular vote and possibly cost George Bush the election to Bill Clinton.
Questions about Clinton’s health have also been pushed by Trump supporters and surrogates. “He’s not going to do the typical, someone’s going to play Hillary Clinton … it’s not his thing”, Trump Jr. said.
It’s worth asking what dysfunction on the right exists that helped elevate the candidate uniquely incapable of running a sane, effective campaign.
At a MS rally on Wednesday, Trump called Clinton a “bigot who sees people of colour only as votes, not as human beings”. Strategists from both parties told the site that Clinton “has gone deeper into the election calendar than any non-incumbent president they can remember in the modern era without sustained, paid opposition on television”.
Clinton’s aides haven’t yet decided who will play Trump in debate preparations – though James Carville, who was Bill Clinton’s chief strategist in 1992, and Rep. Joseph Crowley of NY are seen as top options.
And now Trump is broadening his on-air attack with only 71 days remaining in the campaign. The Tampa market has seen the most presidential campaign ads since June 8, a total of 6,553, followed by Orlando with 5,723 ads aired.
Publicly, Clinton’s aides have worked to lower expectations ahead of the first debate, amid concerns that Clinton could be rattled by Trump going after her on subjects like her use of a private email server as secretary of State or her husband’s marital infidelities.
The new Monmouth survey says 54 percent believe Clinton gave special treatment to big donors of the Clinton Foundation – with only 26 percent saying that she did nothing out of the ordinary. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has not campaigned in Virginia since naming U.S. Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) as her running mate. In the end, Donald Trump’s great gift to the GOP may be a general-election campaign so eccentric that the party’s “normal” Establishment feels absolutely no responsibility for defeat.

President Obama carried North Carolina in 2008, but the conservative leaning state voted for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in 2012. Clinton has a two-page health assessment posted on her website which reports the Democratic nominee to be in good health.
