Trump on Clinton: ‘I don’t think she’s all there’

After another week of Trump controversy – fighting with a Muslim family whose soldier son was killed in the line of duty in Iraq, naked pictures of his wife Melania appearing in the New York Post, which led to questions about her immigration status, and concerns about Trump’s suitability to hold nuclear codes as commander in-chief – the only news that mattered came from the Republican campaign. “But that’s OK. I consider this like a sweat suit”, he said. “And she’s got problems, I mean, if we had real people, this would be a real problem for her, but I think that the people of this country don’t want somebody that’s going to short circuit up here”.

“There has clearly been a significant movement toward Clinton in the last week”, said Ken Goldstein, a professor of politics at the University of San Francisco and polling analyst for Bloomberg Politics.

“Sometimes you like to fight on battlefields that aren’t critical”, he said.

Rochester, a former Sioux City council member, said he will vote in November, but he has not decided on an alternative candidate.

The second-worst: Hillary Clinton.

The U.S. Electoral College – established by the Constitution’s 12th amendment – is the institution that elects the president and vice president every four years based upon state-by-state popular vote outcomes in November’s general election. The data is illuminating.

The lesser-of-two evils mentality among American voters is likely to spark a high voter turnout, as voters fret over the consequences of the other candidate clinching the White House and then wreaking havoc with the economy and national defense.

But when a poll released a day later found the Democratic senate candidate with a one-point lead over Toomey, the McGinty campaign was quick to link the senator’s drop in the polls to Trump’s deficit in Pennsylvania.

“Each candidate has clear negatives”. The previous low for the same period was Mitt Romney at negative 8 in 2012.

“Given the fact that his assault on Hispanics has made it far more hard to win numerous other swing stateslike Colorado, Nevada, and Florida then Pennsylvania becomes ever more critical for Trump to put the pieces together to get to 270 electoral votes”, said Whit Ayres, a leading Republican pollster.

“We’ve never seen both candidates in negative favorability at the same time and over the course, so far, of the entire election campaign”, said Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette Law School Poll in Wisconsin.

Trump’s supporters chanted “Lock her up!” during the event in the town of Windham, which was broadcast online.

Trump has made racist statements and contradicts himself all the time; He has been so erratic that voters worry about him having his finger on the nuclear button, he added.

The biggest beneficiaries thus far have been Libertarian Gary Johnson, the former governor of New Mexico, and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, a physician and political activist from MA.

Johnson has polled in the high single digits in recent national polls.

Another reason is disenfranchised voters, particularly those with a strong ideological bent, eventually may decide to vote Democrat or Republican.

They may sit out the election and not vote. They may vote third party. “We don’t know”, Goldford said.

For now, many voters remain uninspired by the major party candidates for president and are wrestling with what to do with their vote.

Larimer said those voters are going through a personal and emotional struggle.

“Georgia still isn’t directly in Clinton’s crosshairs, and her campaign has yet to declare Georgia a battleground state”, the AJC noted.
