Trump plans to throw Bill Clinton’s infidelities in Hillary Clinton’s face on live television during the presidential debates this fall, questioning whether she enabled his behavior and sought to discredit the women involved. But many supporters of Sanders are not anxious about any ill effects of the USA senator remaining in the race, arguing that Trump is such a flawed candidate that Clinton will easily dispatch with him if she faces him in the November 8 election.

An increasingly familiar trend is driving the tight race between Clinton and Trump: the sharp gender gap. He rails against environmental and corporate regulations, proposes dramatically lower tax rates and holds firm on opposing abortion rights.
He’s the one who spent the previous year smashing the GOP platform into splinters with his pseudo Republican positions and promises.
“Look I think the perceptions of Hillary Clinton, let’s be really clear, these women even though some of them were swing women voters, some of them were Democrats, they’re not in love with Hillary Clinton”.
“I just think running third-party doesn’t feel right”.
“I’m not just going to support whoever the GOP has because I’m supposed to”, Gonzalez said.
“There is no better volunteer recruitment tool, fundraising pitch, or unifier for the Republican Party than the prospect of a Hillary Clinton presidency that will surely take us further backwards”, the Republican National Committee said in a statement. Anything dramatic seems unlikely – such as a move by those hostile to Mr Trump to change the rules to deny him the nomination – but it is possible. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader in the Senate, is very close to Bernie Sanders.
And that’s how Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera answered when asked if he’s supporting Trump, refusing to directly say he would vote for him. The only other two portions of his platform which he has not gone back on – yet – are his advocacy of a wall across the U.S. -Mexico border and his opposition to “horrible trade deals” like the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership. “I am not telling you how.’ I don’t believe that”, she added.
Trump does an accelerated version of the traditional political “flip-flop”, in which a candidate changes his or her position on a hot-button issue due to public pressure.
“Remember the wheelchair being pushed over the cliff when you had Ryan chosen as your vice president?”. It’s Trump as a president that counts, he said. “That was the end of that campaign”.
Former Massachusetts Governor MItt Romney has been reaching out to potential candidates to gauge their interest, the paper reported.
Trump is taking his fundraising efforts on the road. He also has taken recently to saying that all of his plans are merely suggestions, open to later negotiation. Outside experts concluded it disproportionately benefited the rich and would balloon the federal deficit.
Does this matter? Well, Trump has driven the news coverage surrounding this campaign from the day he got in the race.
Still to some, Trump needs to start talking more like a Republican – and tone down often divisive rhetoric – before they’d consider getting behind him.
