The riots breaking out in America’s urban centers over the use of lethal force by law enforcement has given Donald Trump an opportunity to paint himself as a “law and order” candidate that appeals to suburban and rural voters.

During the presidential race, Trump has bragged about his social media influence, TV ratings and magazine covers, while, at the same time, complaining about networks getting rich off his candidacy.
Virginia breaks down similarly, with Clinton losing only a single point off her 12-point (50% to 38%) head-to-head advantage over Trump when Johnson and Stein are added as options.
Trump’s campaign is also likely to look more extreme, which can not help the flailing candidate in the suburban, highly educated precincts in states such as Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado and North Carolina where he is hemorrhaging more upscale Republican votes.
Trump’s advertising plans highlight his shrinking path to the presidency.
The Republican presidential hopeful was scheduled to meet with law enforcement officers Thursday at a local FOP Lodge in Iredell County, North Carolina, but made a decision to stop by the lodge’s gun range first.
Trump is pushing a plan squarely in the GOP tradition of sharp tax cuts for individuals and businesses, which most analyses conclude would largely benefit wealthier Americans. The ads will air first in key swing states such as Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, a confident Clinton Campaign has said the latest restructuring of his team only shows that Trump Campaign has doubled down on small, nasty and divisive instincts.
“I will fight to ensure that every American is treated equally, protected equally and honoured equally”, he said.
An early August CBS/YouGov poll showed Clinton with just a five point lead in the state.
“I think his ideas and his policies to reduce taxation will spur economic growth and will allow us to work our deficits down, where she has already talked about $2 trillion in increased spending that will expand our $19 trillion debt.”, she said. More than half back him because they dislike Clinton. “Rather than throwing good money after bad, the RNC should shift its strategy and its resources to convince voters not to give Hillary Clinton the “blank check” of a Democrat-controlled Congress to advance her big government agenda”. “The middle class has to catch up to where they were before the Great Recession”. One of her prime targets is the so-called “Romney loophole” which allows wealthy taxpayers to stash millions of dollars in IRAs.

The video also suggested from a clip including Washington Post columnist George Will that Trump has ties to Russian Federation, and that he isn’t as rich as he has said he is in a clip including former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has chosen not to endorse Trump. And while Trump courted African-American voters inside, outside the venue, Confederate flags were being sold by a vendor. In that exchange, he was discussing the political “movement” fueling his campaign and the reporter noted that “the world is changing” and mentioned Brexit, the June vote for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.
