Hillary Clinton is gearing up for debates this fall against Donald Trump, a hexed tub of Velveeta that’s been brought to life and won’t stop screaming racist insults from inside your kitchen cabinet. That type of one-on-one interaction with voters is a staple of most political campaigning, yet something Trump had mostly avoided in favor of large rallies.

Current polls show about 2 percent of black voters nationally supporting Trump. “And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track”, said Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman. He also made a direct appeal to African-American voters, who strongly support Clinton, and insisted he wants the GOP to become their political home as it was in the era of Abraham Lincoln.

The public shouldn’t take the exit of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as the end of his ties to Russian Federation, says Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook.
In a further break from the campaign style that propelled him to victory in the Republican primary, Trump expressed regret for unspecified comments he has made that “may have caused personal pain”. “We’re not seeing a pivot”.
What Trump said at a Hispanic roundtable in NY on Saturday “differed very little from what he has said publicly”, Conway said, adding that the billionaire also focused on the economic themes that he has made core to his pitch to voters and that he says resonates across demographic lines.
But Pence defended his new colleague, telling CNN’s Alisyn Camerota in an interview that aired Monday on “New Day” that “Donald Trump is not an experienced politician who carefully selects his words, and speaks right from his heart, right from his mind”.

Alternately, Secretary Clinton could stand onstage and let Donald Trump talk for two hours and she’d probably still come out the victor here.
