Clinton Spreading the Wealth, With Eye on Congress

Clinton is also buying a small amount of airtime in ruby red Texas, where the last Democrat to carry the state in a presidential race was Jimmy Carter.

But that number will likely shrink after Election Day, with GOP moderates among the likeliest to lose. Next week, he’ll be heading to California to raise money and campaign for House candidates. Nope – it’s Ryan, narrowly, which reflects either the deep ideological ambivalence on the right to the nominee or a growing resignation that Trump’s going to lose and Ryan will be the leader of the party the day after. He said he doubts there will ever be another Republican candidate like the billionaire showman, because “he will have lost a very winnable election” and ruined his image as a victor.

Trump, facing declining poll numbers, has continued to warn his supporters of the possibility of widespread voter fraud and the election being “rigged”, and at Wednesday’s debate, he declined to rule out the possibility of challenging the results.

Not surprisingly, Trump has not backed down despite massive controversy and pressure to do so.

Wisconsin politicians and voters should follow the lead of our state’s voices who have had the courage to step away from Trump. Upstate, former GOP gubernatorial candidate John Faso is against Zephyr Teachout, the leftwing law professor who did unexpectedly well as a primary challenger to Governor Cuomo.

Crowds are still surging at Trump rallies and at least two polls – with one considered the most accurate in recent elections and the other that had correctly forecast the margin of Obama’s victory over Republican Mitt Romney in 2012 – still had him one point ahead. Since Pence is Trump’s running mate, he can never escape the aura of Trump. The GOP office was firebombed over the weekend in what Pence called an “act of political terrorism”.

“It feels like folks have started to turn on Trump”, said Joe, a sales trader.

The disclosure of Federal Bureau of Investigation documents revives questions about Clinton’s use of personal email during her time as secretary of state.

Of those, Gov. Scott Walker, U.S. Sen.

The documents revealed discussion of a “quid pro quo” in trying to get the email reclassified, though it’s not clear who first raised the issue.

Trump called it an “elaborate and deliberate cover-up” and called for the State Department official, Undersecretary for Management Patrick F. Kennedy, to be fired. The one opportunity for a Republican pickup is in Nevada, where Harry Reid is retiring, another tight race.

Trump has regularly talked on the campaign trail about the troubles of upstate ny, knocking Clinton for her record as the state’s US senator from 2001 through 2008.

Democrats have tried to pin Trump’s controversial comments about women onto their Republican foes, particularly after the demeaning comments made in a video from 11 years ago became public.

Smith gave an emotional speech the Republican National Convention blaming Clinton for her son’s death. The presidential race “is beginning to create uncertainty in several of these races, as legitimate questions are now being asked about whether the unprecedented unfavorability of the presidential candidates will lead to depressed turnout”.

Sex assault allegations against Trump have damaged some other GOP candidates, according to the party’s own polls, and Republicans had hoped their nominee might turn in a strong performance to assure voters of his qualifications and temperament.

This latest survey was conducted from October 17-19, so it does not reflect either Trump or Clinton’s performance in last night’s debate.
