This presidential election should have favored a Republican nominee, especially against Hillary Clinton, an unpopular Democrat.
Trump is watching videos of Clinton’s 2000 and 2006 Senate debates as well as the ones she participated in against both Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders, they added. As a result, Republicans feel that there is an inherent bias in the media, and this manifests itself into an obsession with Trump, resulting in less scrutiny of Hillary Clinton.
Those results are far closer than most other polls, which use different methodology and nearly uniformly show Clinton ahead by several points. 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 joint committees can use higher contribution limits; contributions are distributed among the campaign and national and state Democratic committees.
“It’s very hard to find someone to mimic the reckless temperament and the hateful instincts and divisive instincts of Donald Trump”, Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union”. In the last few months, Giles-Parscale’s portfolio has grown as it has spearheaded Trump’s belated but aggressive online fundraising effort. On Saturday, she released a list of 871 “Hillblazers”, the individuals and couples who have raised at least $100,000 for the campaign since April 2015. Much of his money has come from small donations, in line with his appeal to working-class voters. On Friday, Trump began his first television advertising of the general election, beginning a $4.8 million buy in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Florida. Super PAC can raise unlimited amounts.
The poll showed that 35% of people would definitely vote for the Democratic nominee, while Trump lagged behind on 29%, highlighting the scale of the challenge to win the nationwide vote. National party officials say they now have 504 staffers in the field, with the highest numbers working in Pennsylvania and Florida, where Trump needs to gain ground on Clinton. Trump hired former Breitbart executive Steve Bannon, and also promoted veteran pollster and personal confidant Kellyanne Conway to a senior position.
AFP adds: Donald Trump on Monday demanded that Hillary Clinton shut down the charitable foundation run by her husband, former United States president Bill Clinton, branding it a “corrupt enterprise”.
