By the way, those people who knocked down the World Trade Center, most likely under the Trump policy wouldn’t have been here to knock down the World Trade Center, he said.

Donald Trump is openly taunting the leaders of his own party by refusing to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and Sen.
Her onetime Democratic opponent, Bernie Sanders, raised more than $6 million in the 24 hours after winning the New Hampshire primary, after declaring in a nationally televised victory speech that he was “going to hold a fundraiser right here, right now, across America”.
Clinton has worked to build out her online fundraising operation and saw her top total in that area just last week as she officially accepted her party’s presidential nomination at its convention in Philadelphia.
There has been a positive – but by no means flawless – relationship between how well-received a convention was and how big a candidate’s bounce was afterward. Gallup measures the bounce only by how much a candidate’s own poll number went up.
This is a seven-point increase for Ms Clinton from the last poll conducted by the news network. But when you add in how much Trump lost during the DNC – how much the gap between them changed – she gained 12 points.
As per RealClearPolitics.Com which keeps track of all major national polls, Ms Clinton has an average 3.9 percentage point lead over Mr Trump.
Trump’s decline is a big part of Clinton’s post-convention boost. In fact, pollster Charles Franklin pointed out this week that the DNC marks not only the start of an uptick in Clinton’s favorability but the start of a slide in Trump’s. You see what’s happening with-take a look at Orlando. And he’s retiring in January, which means he’s not reliant on Republican volunteers and infrastructure to win reelection. “To vote Republican out of party loyalty alone would be to endorse a candidacy that I believe has exploited anger, grievance, xenophobia and racial division”.
Trump responded saying Khan “viciously attacked” him, and suggested the man was repeating lines fed to him by the Clinton campaign. Then again, this election is unusual in all sorts of ways: it features two phenomenally unpopular candidates, for example, and one of whom has no experience in elected office or the military.
And so far, McCain, Ryan and other Republicans who’ve reluctantly declared that they plan to back Trump for president appear to be sticking with him.
