Republicans revive Clinton email woes ahead of debate
The only reason Republicans retained control in 2012 is because of an alliance with a dissent group of Democrats.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida is also looking strong, though for him and other Republicans there is probably a limit to how far they can outrun Trump if the mogul goes down to a major loss.
But here, back home where Ryan started out, we can say this: The genuineness, the decency, the civility evident in Ryan back in 1998 is still there, to his credit and our region’s benefit.
“All politics is local, and every year we focus on what we have to do locally, even with everything going on above us”, said Doug Colety, the GOP chairman in Westchester County. 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. In the past few election cycles, though, Democrats have offered increasingly serious challenges to Ryan as he’s built a national profile and spent more time out of the district.
Yet, while his seat in Congress is not threatened by Trump, Ryan’s Speakership could be.
And as he advanced he became more of a target for ideologues, mostly on the other side but occasionally from within his own party. As Clinton pulls away from Trump nationally, that is freeing up even more money for Democratic candidates in the top Senate races: New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Indiana, Missouri and Nevada.
“When we were not in the majority, we saw what happened – basically upstate was swallowed by New York City”.
The clamor for change that’s fueling Donald Trump’s presidential campaign may help Jason Kander, a little-known Democrat, upset powerful Republican Sen.
Clinton, who was New York’s junior senator from 2001 to 2009, is ahead of Trump by 24 points in a head-to-head matchup against Trump, according to a new Siena poll conducted from October 13 to 17. Vacancies in two Congressional seats, one on Long Island, where Democratic Representative Steve Israel is stepping down and upstate south of Albany, where Republican Chris Gibson is retiring, are producing potentially close races. Clinton is 24 points ahead of Trump, at 54 to 30 percent, a jump from when Siena College did a survey in September.
“Now we’re seeing a shift back to Arizona becoming more blue, more moderate Republicans, a more older population that’s being phased out, if you will, by younger voters and more active voters”, said Mario Diaz, a Democratic political strategist and president of Mario E. Diaz & Associates, a public affairs firm.
He said that instead of focusing on jobs already shipped overseas to take advantage of cheap labor, he’d work to keep companies in the US -and Wisconsin-by protecting them from bad trade deals and respecting unions. The ads will also target Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump.
Trump said the claims “are totally and absolutely false”.
Trump has frequently targeted Ryan both on the campaign trail and on Twitter. In a week! His job approval among Republicans is even worse at 36/44.
The video then flashes Faso’s quote in the New York Times: “I’m not saying I’ll vote for him”. As Trump campaigned in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Monday evening, some Trump supporters weren’t shy about their disdain for the GOP speaker, yelling anti-Ryan statements. The majority – 67.1 percent – said the debates did not influence them.
