Many Twitter users were quick to note that the idea was not entirely original and posted images of other politicians – from presidents Obama, George W.

Thankfully, we have so many wonderful TV personalities to break it down … on comedy shows, because they’re apparently the only ones we can trust anymore-aside from CNN’s passive-aggressive breaking news banner.
It was only the latest dig on 68-year-old Clinton by Trump, who has repeatedly mocked his rival’s ‘stamina, ‘ although he wished her well after she was diagnosed with pneumonia after she left the 9/11 commemoration ceremony.
Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign continued paying its former manager, Corey Lewandowski. He parted ways with Trump in mid-June – and was immediately hired as a CNN contributor – but his Green Monster firm received a $20,000 payment for “strategy consulting” August 11, the same amount it has regularly been paid for months. The difference meant his campaign started this month with almost a $10 million cash advantage over hers.
Clinton told supporters at an August fundraiser that a friend told her: “There will be about 100 million people watching and 60 million will be paying attention to the campaign for the first time”.

Almost half of that came from a handful of big donors.
He was speaking at High Point University in North Carolina.
Democratic super donors – both billionaire financiers – George Soros and Donald Sussman gave $2.5 million and $2 million, respectively, and Emerson Collective LLC, a social activism organization headed by Steve Jobs’ widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, contributed $2 million. A third group isn’t required to report fundraising until next month.
But I do want to make a separate point, which is that the struggle to get it right with millennials could end up being a much bigger long-term story than the one reflected in the current arguments over whether they are or aren’t obliged to support Clinton in this election.
The survey was conducted September 16-19, using a nationally representative opt-in panel of 600 respondents.
Clinton, in a radio interview Tuesday, said she was ready to deal with Trump’s attacks. The group gathered $28 million in August, more than doubling its total fundraising. The Democratic nominee has no more campaign events scheduled before the debate.
