The Republican National Committee also announced Saturday it had raised $199.5 million this election cycle, including $27.2 million in July.

“Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity”, said Whit Ayres, a GOP pollster who worked for Florida Sen.
Another week brings us yet another freakish set of polling numbers in the presidential race courtesy of Morning Consult.
According to the Morning Consult poll released on Friday, 38 per cent United States voters say that news coverage favoured Clinton, while only 12 per cent believe that same was true for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, Xinhua news agency reported.
“We need Donald Trump to explain to us the extent to which the hand of the Kremlin is at the core of his campaign”, Clinton campaign manager Robbie Mook said on “ABC’s “This Week”. Unlike Democrats, it seems that Trump has no data operation to target voters who may support him.
That brings us to the primary goal for this early endorsement, to call attention to one candidate in particular who has shown himself to be wholly unqualified for this position – Donald Trump.
For Trump’s team, the meeting came as he has tried to be more disciplined and on message as he seeks to reset his campaign against Clinton for the November 8 election. Those small donations made up about 36% of her contributions from individuals last month, up from almost 25% a month earlier, the filings show.
The DNC also outraised the RNC in July, and in all, together with the Clinton campaign and Clinton-supporting Priorities USA super PAC, pulled in $94.5 million, while the Trump campaign, RNC, and two super PACs supporting Trump only brought in $68.3 million.
Earlier on Saturday in New York, Trump met with a group of Hispanic leaders as part of a new National Hispanic Advisory Council to the campaign.
Robert Moran said the billionaire businessman’s nomination had been an “unmitigated disaster” for the GOP, as he lags behind his rival for the presidency Hillary Clinton in the polls. Its available cash also fell slightly, to $983,155.
By comparison, the Clinton campaign in July spent $2.9 million on its 703-person payroll and $25.8 million on media. All the changes would increase taxes in 2017 for the richest 1 percent by $78,284, reducing their after-tax income by 5 percent, according to the Tax Policy Center. However, Trump can boost that number easily by dipping into his personal fortune.
Trump recently shook up his staff in an effort to regain his campaign’s momentum, but his choice of the chairman of the highly conservative Breitbart website to be his campaign chief doesn’t signal that Trump was focused on reaching out to expand his appeal to more centrist or moderate voters, Gallup said.
But a problem for Trump could be where his money is coming from. More than $782,000 went to various Trump enterprises, including his airline, Tag Air. Her campaign regularly trumpets Republican endorsements and GOP disavowals of Trump. “It gives you more real estate in a more uncluttered way to break through”.
The Republican National Committee also was represented at the meeting that was held in the 25th-floor boardroom of Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan.

As FiveThirtyEight notes, Trump is “polling worse among black voters than nearly every single Republican presidential nominee since 1948 in polls taken between the party conventions and Election Day”.
