And in Erie, Pennsylvania, the candidate himself sounded upbeat a day after acknowledging his campaign was having trouble. While Pennsylvania’s GOP delegates are not bound to the popular vote, I felt a high sense of obligation to respect the wishes of the men and women who went to our local polls April 26. You know, we’re up in Florida, we’re doing well in OH, and I am hearing we’re doing well here.

“We’ll find out on November 8”.
Veteran New Hampshire Republican Tom Rath, an RNC Committeeman who has been through decades of presidential politics in the Granite State, says the Trump ground game in that important swing state is minimal. Since the end of the primaries, Hillary Clinton has spent $42.9 million in ads. They paid about 34 percent in federal taxes.
The article looks into Trump’s unprecedented rise as – at the time – the possible Republican nominee. Other groups like the Senate Leadership Fund and the Koch network funded key Senate races to build networks that normally would already be in place with a successful presidential candidate.
Robert Costa, welcome back to the program.
This Canadian magazine did a play on the “For Dummies” franchise by headlining this issue “Donald Trump for dummies” and taking a page out of the design of the books.
The “garbage” Priebus referred to might include reports this week of mounting angst among the RNC regarding the tenor of Trump’s campaign, which has recently veered sharply off course with a steady drumbeat of controversial remarks.
Clinton, whose lead over Trump has widened in recent polls of the most competitive states, has seized on those and other eyebrow-raising comments to portray the reality TV star as lacking the temperament to run the nation – Trump has his own argument for why she’s unfit to do so.
Both the Trump and Clinton campaigns said they are scouting for locations to open campaign offices and say those will be up and running soon. So, they have had a close relationship.
First and foremost is the fact that Donald Trump won the popular vote of Republicans in the 16th Congressional District. They are contacting RNC members in an attempt to persuade them that Trump is destined for defeat and needs to be ousted. He skipped the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July, when 22 of the state’s 42 GOP delegates cast votes for Trump, helping him clinch the nomination.
Rose said Connecticut’s weak economy makes it fertile territory for an outsider candidate like Trump who appeals to disaffected working-class and independent voters.
ROBERT COSTA: Utah is a particularly case. Temperamentally, the Mormon population of Utah doesn’t always fit with Donald Trump. These elitists are upset that the Republican voters had the audacity to actually nominate a candidate who was not selected for them by the establishment. Some evangelical communities, you see Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state, she is gaining in a state like Georgia.
But the general election is quite different. If our country had restricted immigration to certain classes of people, many of us descendants of the exhausted and poor would not even be here. It is a sad day when Republicans are being used so effectively by the liberal news media to elect a scandal ridden candidate who belongs in the big house, not the White House.
US Republican Donald Trump on Saturday repeated his attack on President Barack Obama that he helped “found” Daesh (the so-called IS) and railed against media reports that his campaign is failing, at a campaign rally in CT, a state where he has a long-shot of being victorious.
He came in for criticism again after saying on Wednesday that Mr Obama was the “founder” of the IS, a false claim he repeated several times on Thursday, even when given the chance to tone down his attack on the president’s foreign policies. Donald Trump, the Republican Party, all of you, we’re going to put him in the White House and save this country together’.
A pair of House Republicans have added their names to a request for their party to stop funding Donald Trump at the top of its ticket. “I go back to a very good way of life”, he told CNBC. In this election, Trump ran against the establishment and they can not forgive him, so they are determined to elect Hillary.
But Trump insists that the RNC is still going to work with him and Priebus was there today, but this is all happening, these conversations are circulating within the party that maybe Trump isn’t going to win and things have to be done.

It must be pointed out, that in late May, 2008, Hillary Clinton also very inappropriately raised the spectre of assassination.
