“Unstable Hillary Clinton, lacks the judgment, temperament and moral character to lead this country – and I believe that so strongly”, Trump said at a rally in Des Moines, Iowa, according to CNN.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has raised $469 million so far, and $90 million in July.

The numbers may shift a tad, but the next opportunity for Trump to change perceptions and gain ground on Clinton likely won’t come until the first presidential debate in September.
