Trump has slipped in opinion polls, and anxious Republican Party leaders have urged him to stop making off-the-cuff inflammatory statements that generate blanket, often negative, media coverage and distract from efforts to highlight what they see as Clinton’s many shortcomings. “And you look at the power they have in terms of votes and that’s what I was referring to, obviously that’s what I was referring to, and everybody knows it”.
Clinton’s campaign also released a list of 41 speeches that she delivered in 2013, with speaking fees ranging from $225,000 to $400,000.
“He refuses to do what every other presidential candidate in decades has done and release his tax returns”, Clinton said on Thursday in an economic speech in MI.
On Monday, 50 Republican national security officials signed an open letter questioning Trump’s temperament, calling him reckless and unqualified to be president. “I’ll bring my tax return, he can bring his tax return. and let people ask us questions.”Trump has declined to do so”. “You are a big beneficiary of over-regulation, because there’s nobody other than, I would say, the energy industry, that is over-regulated more than the home building industry”. They also took baby steps into some traditionally deep red states, telling party officials in Arizona and Georgia they plan to make a six-figure investment in field operations in the two states.
After Clinton’s visit last week to a tie maker in Colorado, the lead story on the front page of the Denver Post was “Clinton pledges millions of jobs”.
The idea that Trump could lose in deep red Utah isn’t a Democratic fantasy.
The Republican presidential nominee brushed off conservative radio commentator Hugh Hewitt’s attempt to reframe Trump’s observation as one that said Obama’s foreign policy created the conditions in Iraq and Syria that allowed IS to thrive. “There are just so many paths to 270 and so many ways to put their presidential campaign and the Republican Party in a defensive posture, even in states that are not considered battlegrounds”.
But Mike Smith, a Republican voter and Reuters/Ipsos poll respondent, said the support Trump is still receiving from Republicans “almost seems obligatory rather than voluntary”. Surveys in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and OH found that 90 percent of Democrats said they meant to support Clinton, while closer to 80 percent of Republicans meant to support Trump. A small group of middle-class mothers interviewed by pollsters Tuesday in Columbus, Ohio, and Phoenix used words such as “painful”, “nauseated” and “screwed” to describe their choice.
“We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn’t send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun”, he said of the 2012 assault on the U.S. consulate in Libya that killed four Americans, including the ambassador. “At the same time, they can’t turn to Donald Trump because he scares them”.
Other top Republicans, including Senator Susan Collins of ME this week, have disavowed Trump but said they can not back Clinton.
