Can Donald Trump win? ‘Anything is possible,’ Barack Obama says

By Monday night, however, the story started shifting.

Obama was seen whispering in her ear: “You’re doing great”. He accomplished his goal of humanizing his wife in ways only a husband of 40 years could.

He says more than 100 people have apologized to him for the outbursts.

Only once since 2000 has a Republican presidential candidate won more than 37% of the general-election vote in Lackawanna County, which includes Scranton. Tenacity is an admirable quality.

Even if Clinton defeats Trump, his improbable ascent to the GOP nomination nevertheless points to a visceral anger convulsing much of the country, with profound anxieties over race, immigration, economic security and national security upending the country’s political institutions.

It was long ago and far away when Barack Obama snippily remarked, “You’re likable enough, Hillary”. Polls, about which you care so deeply, show Obama is more popular than you. And you decide to gather reporters at the Trump National Doral resort in Miami.

The Clinton campaign says cyber-experts it has hired have suggested Russian Federation was to blame and its goal was to help the Republican presidential candidate Trump.

But with Trump, these mistakes aren’t really mistakes – they’re a feature, not a bug, of his candidacy.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid says the CIA should give Donald Trump “fake intelligence briefings” because he can’t be trusted. “I think that it is important for us to remember that we live in a democracy”.

But while congressional Republicans have indeed sought to thwart Obama’s policy agenda since he took office, the president said Wednesday night that ideological disagreements between the parties represent the “contest of ideas that pushes our country forward”. There are “some beauties there”, he predicted.

“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing”, Trump said.

Speaking from Miami before he was scheduled to embark on a tour of swing states, the Republican presidential nominee chided Democrats for not mentioning the Islamic State during the first day of the party’s national conventions.

President Barack Obama’s decision to identify Russian Federation as nearly certainly the culprit in hacking the Democratic National Committee and releasing politically embarrassing emails fits his administration’s new penchant for openly blaming foreign governments for such break-ins. Paul Ryan called Putin a thug. “And I think that Trump’s gotten pretty favorable coverage back in Russia”, CNN quoted him as saying.

Mr. Trump’s success here depends on converting registered Democrats like Paula Marcho to his cause. “But, if Putin wants to go and knocked the hell out of ISIS, I am all for it, 100 percent, and I can’t understand how anybody would be against it…”

Giuliani was asked at a Republican Party briefing Thursday in Philadelphia whether he took issue with the Democratic convention speakers who’d been praising Clinton. It’s to be expected.

After his most recent comments, and after hurried consultations behind the scenes about how to spin them, Trump supporters settled on the claim that he was joking both times he called for Russian interference.
