Never mind that the Clinton Foundation is already so fraught with controversy that even The Boston Globe editorialized this week that the organization should start winding down immediately. People who were still mucking out their homes, in some instances, came out to wave at the motorcade with gloved hands dirty from their house-gutting work. And in an address Thursday evening, he uncharacteristically volunteered that he regretted some of his caustic comments – though he notably did not specify which ones.

“Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. She has been there forever and look at where you are”, Trump said in front of the North Carolina crowd. “I believe Trump is up, and he will win in November by a big margin”. Just 15% say Trump would make an “average” president. Trump consoled residents – even hugging two – as several Louisianans noted they have felt left out of the national spotlight.
But what if Trump really is in the midst of a lasting reset? The Clinton campaign has outspent Trump on air $61 million to $0, according to data from Advertising Analytics/NBC News.
The ad begins with a photo of Hillary Clinton, and, flicking through dark images of people with their faces blurred, claims that under her leadership, “Syrian refugees flood in, illegal immigrants convicted of committing crimes get to stay…” Still, only about a third of voters (31%) say she would be a good or great president, while 22% say would be average and 45% think she would be a poor (12%) or awful (33%) president.
Trump’s inability to course-correct has caused some political observers to question whether the real estate mogul actually wants to win the election and spend the next four years as president. His decision to tap Stephen Bannon, a combative conservative media executive, as his new campaign chief suggested to some that he might continue the divisive rhetoric that has angered minorities and alienated large swaths of the electorate.
Donald Trump has stiffed many small business vendors, underpaying or not paying them at all, knowing he can get away with it because they cannot afford the legal fees to challenge his team of lawyers.
He’s emphasized his outsider credentials, casting his missteps as a effect of his lack of political polish.
Long doubting the efficacy of television ads, Donald Trump is finally ceding to this one measure of political gravity, airing his first ad of the general election.
Pointing out his outrageous statements, pitiful campaign strategy and total lack of a policy platform is a lament of the party’s current state, not an attempt to assist Clinton in what is shaping up to be her inevitable return to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Hispanic respondents supported Clinton over Trump 50-26.
As for Trump’s health, in December, the campaign released a letter from Harold N. Bornstein, a doctor of gastroenterology at Lenox Hill Hospital in NY. He has insisted in an interview with ABC News that Russian weapons and troops were not in the Ukraine, swallowing Vladimir Putin’s lies that Moscow played no part in the invasion.

Just as President Barack Obama attacked his 2012 rival, Mitt Romney, for paying a lower effective tax rate than the vast majority of Americans, Clinton said that Trump’s plan would benefit people in his own income bracket, declaring that he “would pay a lower rate than middle-class families” if it were put into effect.
