This week was even nastier than the one during the primary campaign when Trump and Florida Sen.

Trump is the headline speaker at her “Roast and Ride” fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. And I do support Clinton – but only in the sense that I would support a ham sandwich for president if it were the only thing standing between Trump and the Oval Office.
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised to introduce a tracking system for all immigrants in order to make sure none overstay their visas.
Clinton is looking to counter Trump’s attempts to win over moderate voters who have been unsettled by some of his remarks and policy proposals.
He has released an online video that includes footage of the former first lady referring to some young criminals as super predators in the 1990s. Clinton has since apologized for using the term.
Pence also hit Clinton running mate Tim Kaine for comparing Trump’s values to those of the Ku Klux Klan and white supremacist David Duke, and accused Clinton – who said last week that Trump built his campaign on prejudice – of casting Trump’s supporters as bigots.
Other white nationalists mocked Clinton, saying she sounded like a neoconservative and a “grandma”, while also welcoming the publicity.
Saturday’s briefing was Clinton’s first since becoming her party’s nominee and she did not receive it with any aides present, her campaign said.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said the media “focus on process. instead of the message”.
If Marco Rubio or John Kasich were the Republican nominee, I suspect we would now be writing Clinton’s political obituary – and I’d be content finding absurdities on both sides.
“It’s the lies and cynicism of Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine versus the hope and optimism of Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence”.
“So we saw Clinton dip in the poll over the last week – she and Trump nationally are now within the margin of error, something like 3 % apart in a four-way race and most telling is the fact is that more than 20 percent – a solid 20 percent plus – number of voters say they won’t vote for either of the candidate”.
The commercial then reminds viewers – as Clinton did in a speech Thursday in Reno, Nevada – that Trump’s real estate company was once charged with discriminating African Americans and breaking federal law.
But Clapper rejected Ryan’s request, responding that the meetings would be provided on a non-partisan basis. On Friday, he also continued his recent push to broaden his base of support among minority voters, convening a roundtable with Latino backers at his hotel in Las Vegas.
The Indiana governor, Conway and other surrogates said the main tenets of Trump’s immigration plan still will include building a wall along the southern USA border and making Mexico pay for it, no path to status adjustment or citizenship for people here illegally and stronger border enforcement. We’ve been doing fantastic, far, far greater. than anyone understands.
Trump has suggested that minorities have been left behind by Democratic economic policies and hammered the nation’s sluggish GDP growth as “a catastrophe”.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to send mixed signals on immigration.
Trump, speaking on the Iowa State Fairgrounds with hay bales stacked behind him, sought to clarify his views on how to overhaul the US immigration system after saying earlier in the week that he was softening on his plan to deport all 11 million illegal immigrants.
Republicans continue Donald Trump’s unusual debate prep as GOP insiders worry their nominee’s policy and campaign pivot may be too little, too late.
