Kasich: Trump must ‘operate in the light’
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is questioning the mental health of his Democratic opponent, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She leads him by 8 points in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll.
Clinton, known for her aversion to press conferences, met with reported on Friday to admit that her uses of the term “truthful” was misleading.
The presidential campaign has reached the point to where Donald Trump and his critics have begun to question each other’s sanity. But she appears to have been aided as well by days of controversy that Trump generated with his sharp criticism of a Muslim-American family whose son, Army Capt. Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq in 2004 and whose father rebuked Trump on the stage of the Democratic convention.
Sixty percent of respondents said Trump is not honest and trustworthy, while 36 percent said he is.
Trump seized on Clinton’s explanation that she “short-circuited” a recent answer about her truthfulness in discussing her email server.
“When we do that, we’re comfortable that we can get the agenda and the narrative of the campaign back on where it belongs, which is comparing the tepid economy under Obama and Clinton, versus the kind of growth economy that Mr. Trump wants to build”.
Last month, he hired Omarosa Manigault, a star from his former reality competition TV show “The Apprentice” on NBC, as the campaign’s director of black outreach.
Q: Among undecided voters, has either Clinton’s or Trump’s image improved?
The poll found that Clinton is viewed favorably by 48% of registered voters and unfavorably by 50%; Trump is viewed favorably by just 34% and unfavorably by 63%.
Clinton running mate Tim Kaine visited MI on Friday, using his Grand Rapids speech to highlight her 100-day jobs plan and criticize Trump for a lack of specificity on his economic agenda.
Trump has been struggling after a string of gaffes. (“Maybe we’re the kind of candidates that are gonna say, ‘look, this stuff is gonna happen.’ Yes, a president of the United States – we need to be vigilant to potentially prevent these things from happening, but these things are gonna happen.”) Ideologically, then, Johnson-Weld is a nonstarter for a voter convinced that Trump is an unfit commander in chief. Nearly six in 10 voters say Trump is not qualified to be president and just three in 10 say they would feel comfortable if he were to become president.
Seeking to arrest his sinking poll numbers, Trump reversed course on Friday and endorsed House Speaker Paul Ryan for re-election, pleaded for Republican unity and pledged to work with the very party leaders he had earlier dismissed as Washington’s ineffective establishment figures.
Surprisingly, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the normally red state of Georgia also seems to be in play, with Clinton and Trump tied. “She made a mistake, and she said over and over again ‘I made a mistake, and I’ve learned from it, and I’m going to fix it, and I apologise for it, ‘” Kaine said.
“I think he’s brilliant”.
“We’re going to give people a period of regulatory certainty where they know that if they start something today, the situation is not going to change tomorrow”, the aide said.
Conveniently absent from most reporting is the serious story of widespread collusion between media and the DNC, as we see how various journalists and news organizations bend and mold coverage to benefit Democrats and their causes.
That’s what the movement should contemplate.
The American Nazi Party was founded in 1959 by George Lincoln Rockwell.
Based on the ideals of Adolf Hitler, the party aims to “secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”, according to its website, which includes a platform, merchandise sales and a link for “non-Aryan sympathizers” to make donations.
