Donald Trump assailed his presumptive Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton on Wednesday as a “world-class liar”, saying her temperament and judgment make her unworthy of the White House. Sixty percent of Pennsylvania voters say their opinion of Trump is unfavorable, 50 percent of whom describe their impression as strongly unfavorable.

Part I came some days ago when Clinton questioned his foreign policy credentials, or the lack of them, and remarks that have left his own party supporters and surrogates squirming. Trump had some pretty harsh words for the former Secretary of State during a speech given on Tuesday to evangelical leaders in New York City.
“It has been proven wrong again and again”, Clinton told a rally in Raleigh, N.C. “There are still people in Congress who insist on cutting taxes for the wealthy instead of investing in our future”, she said.
Can Hillary Clinton be defeated? Yes. “So that is a contribution”, Steve Mnuchin said.
GOP operative Dave Carney called yesterday’s speech a “good sign”, but cautioned that Trump still has more to prove to sway skeptical Republicans – including raising a lot more money or putting up a huge sum of his own, and sticking to a more disciplined message each day.
Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had refuted these allegations several times in the past. The billionaire businessman claimed, She gets rich making you poor.. Trump’s campaign spent a little more than $6.7 million in May, leaving his cash on hand at a paltry $1,289,508. The campaign paid for products and services that went back to Trump’s companies, to the tune of almost 10 percent of his expenditures.
Trumps broadside marked his opening salvo in a general election faceoff with Clinton that has already turned bruising and deeply personal.
The poll asked respondents who they would vote for if they were American citizens.
The 70-year-old Trump even sensationally alleged that the USA ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, who died in an attack on the consulate in Benghazi in 2012, was one of the victims of her decisions.
“Look”, Clinton said, “I know Donald hates it when anyone points out how hollow his sales pitch really is”.
Trump said in an interview with CBS television broadcast Wednesday that Clinton’s $42 million was “blood money” taken in exchange for promising favors to special interest groups – chiefly Wall Street.

Earlier this week, Trump abruptly fired his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, a move widely viewed as an acknowledgment of a need to recalibrate his organization.
