The public shouldn’t take the exit of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as the end of his ties to Russian Federation, says Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook.

Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign on twitter responded, “This is so ignorant it’s staggering”.
Clinton was expected to raise more money than Trump’s campaign in July and end the month with more cash available.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump talks with Jovita Carranza, former Small Business Administration Deputy Administrator, as he holds a Hispanic advisory roundtable meeting in New York, Saturday, Aug. 20, 2016. At the rally, Trump also said it was “shocking” that Pennsylvania does not require photo identification to vote. In comparison, Clinton’s campaign has spent $52 million on TV ads over the past few months, according to an NBC News analysis.
“Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton leads Republican rival Donald Trump by 8 percentage points among likely voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Friday”.
For perspective, in July 2012, Mitt Romney’s campaign reported $32.7 million in disbursements. However, Trump has spent significantly less than Clinton throughout the election. This week, she’ll spend at least $10 million more on ads.
“This has been one of the best weeks the campaign has had”, said Sean Spicer, chief strategist at the Republican National Committee.
“What’s new are the other reports of the observations of Hillary Clinton’s behavior and mannerisms, specifically with what you just showed in those previous clips, as well as her dysphasia, the fact that she’s fallen, she has had a concussion, there are really interesting things out there”, Pierson stated.
The largest contributor to the increase in Trump outgoings in July was an $18.5m spend on Giles-Parscale, a web design and marketing firm new to USA politics, the AP reported.
The Trump campaign has also said it would rely heavily on RNC organization on the ground across the country, rather than building out entirely new infrastructure for the campaign. That’s about the same amount it had paid him each month while he was running the campaign.

That team includes Stephen Bannon, a combative conservative media executive with no presidential campaign experience, and pollster Kellyanne Conway, who has known Trump for years. She took credit – and then blame- for writing Melania Trump’s speech at the Republican National Convention that included similar lines from Michelle Obama’s speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention.
