Clinton, at a forum sponsored by the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, called her rival “virulently anti-immigrant”.
The Donald Trump show has been playing a back-to-back marathon all week, and to a great degree it has been to Hillary Clinton’s benefit. That puts her among the 54 percent of young adults – including 61 percent of Asian-Americans, 57 percent of African-Americans and 52 percent of Latinos and whites – who say laws limiting gun ownership do not infringe on the public’s right to bear arms.
Madonna, at first, wondered if his results were an outlier – but Fox News released a Wednesday poll with Clinton up by 10; two weeks ago CNN had her leading 9, and NBC by 8. Trump has no serious plans, and agree with Clinton’s plans or not, she at least has something to present that makes sense. So will Trump.

Clinton is ahead of Trump by 9 points, 41% to 32%, among likely MI voters, according to a Detroit news/WDIV-TV poll.
The added option of third-party candidates Jill Stein and Gary Johnson had little effect on the head-to-head spreads. After the conventions finished, Clinton gained four points, nearly doubling her five point lead. This past week, for example, Trump spent a day in Portland, Maine, chasing after the single electoral vote at stake along the state’s largely Democratic southern coast.
I think that all RCC trustees, as well as all county Republican officials, need to repudiate Miller firmly and publicly.
Campaign chairman Paul Manafort insisted Trump would work with Ryan if elected, but he conceded the endorsement question had sparked tension inside Trump’s NY campaign headquarters.
