“What he supports is to make sure we enforce the law, we are respectful of those Americans who are looking for well-paying jobs and that we are fair and humane to those who live among us in this country”, Conway said on “State of the Union”. Last December, he mocked her wardrobe.

Young says Trump’s comments were too broad. “For those hurting the most, who have been failed and failed by their politicians, year after year, failure after failure, worse numbers after worse numbers, poverty, rejection, awful education, no houses, no homes, no ownership, crime at levels that nobody has seen”.
Beyond the RNC, Trump could be helping state parties directly.
Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta said in a statement that Trump “needs to come clean with voters about his complex network” of businesses that are in debt to big banks, including the state-owned Bank of China, after a New York Times report on the subject. When he formed his fundraising partnership in late May, Trump told the AP he is only raising money because “the RNC really wanted to do it, and I want to show good spirit”.
Polls now mostly show Trump lagging Clinton by 5 percentage points or more nationally, but Priebus predicted they will tighten up and Trump will be “ahead as we move through September”.
The Clinton Foundation has a big NY fundraiser set for the week before the 1st presidential debate and 7 weeks before the election. “[A] nd his optimistic view about the 2020 when he’s running for re-election, that’s pure Donald Trump”.
Katie Packer, a Republican strategist who founded a political consulting firmed aimed at appealing to Republican women, said that Trump has a history of seizing on his rivals’ perceived weaknesses. By contrast, a little more than 1 in 10 Democrats had an unfavorable opinion of Clinton.

Despite the lack of majority support, it shouldn’t be overlooked that Clinton is much more trusted than Trump on health care policy, said Ron Pollack, founding executive director of the health consumer advocacy group Families USA.
James Carville, Bill Clinton’s top strategist in his ultimately successful campaign for the presidency in the 1990s, warned of dire consequences should Trump and his supporters manage to shutter the foundation.
“By taking gender head-on, Trump refuses to cede women voters and so-called women’s issues to Hillary just because she is a woman”, she told the paper. Her mention of “Swiftboating” was referring to widely debunked efforts in 2004 to challenge Democratic nominee John Kerry’s war record.
“We are also going to reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton, who sees people of color only as votes and not as human beings worthy of a better future”, he said. “And when I say ‘watch, ‘ you know what I’m talking about”. “If you’re trying to prove you’re the manliest, then you’re trying to emasculate your opponent”.
But now that’s she’s on the inside of Trump’s campaign, Conway says she’s confused by why his tax returns are considered an important issue.

“For those hurting the most – who have been failed again and again by their politicians – I’ve asked in recent days, what do you have to lose by trying something new?”
