Trump Says Only Way Clinton Will Win Pennsylvania Is ‘Cheating’
After several error-free days, Trump caused a major stir Tuesday when his comments about supporters of the Second Amendment’s right to bear arms were viewed by some as advocating violence against Clinton. “I know it – she can’t beat what’s happening here”.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is launching a new effort to tap into the political power of young, undocumented immigrants. Did anything in particular stand out?
During this period 2007-2015, which includes six years when Hillary Clinton was on a federal salary, as USA senator for NY and then secretary of state, Bill Clinton made the bulk of the income, including $105 million from delivering more than 540 speeches. In Michigan, she mentioned rebuilding municipal water systems for Flint; in Omaha she touted how wind and solar energy generation could lift farm incomes. They want to see his tax rate, charitable giving and business dealings with foreign governments.
Donald Trump’s campaign on Sunday went on a new tear against the media, blaming the “disgusting” press for a week of distractions at a time when Republicans have urged him – again – to focus on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
A spokeswoman for Lt. Gov. Brian Calley, another potential gubernatorial candidate who has endorsed Trump, said he would not comment on Trump’s “day-to-day activities”. “I don’t want to live in a society that I think Donald Trump will create”.
President Richard Nixon released his returns despite an audit, a Clinton campaign release about the new video said. Speaking to the National Association of Home Builders in Miami Thursday, Trump reminisced about his father – also a builder – touring some of his construction sites.
This is Hillary Clinton’s greatest advantage. The polls are getting bad and worse for Donald Trump. He’s losing support in red states like Georgia and Utah.
One small example: It’s a wistful nostalgic exercise in the era of Trump to think back to 2012, when Mitt Romney explained how, after being elected governor of MA, he worked with women’s groups so he could hire more females for his administration.
The combined family income of Kaine and Holton in 2015 is less than the $315,000 that Hillary Clinton was paid for a single speech delivered to a corporate audience at eBay past year. That’s a group Romney won in 2012, and that’s despite the fact that her numbers on honesty and trustworthiness have not moved.
Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump continued to self-implode this week with two of the most outlandish remarks of his rapidly disintegrating campaign. Recently, 50 Republicans wrote an open letter to the RNC saying you should cut off funding for the Trump campaign, focus on saving our House and Senate seats. So a lot of pessimism of Republicans. “We had no money when we got there, and we struggled to, you know, piece together the resources for mortgages, for houses, for Chelsea’s education”, Clinton said. But the most decisive votes will likely come from the east, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where Trump has not visited since the state’s primary in April.
Later in the day, Trump national spokesperson Katrina Pierson said on “CNN Newsroom” that “the media has been writing the Trump campaign’s obituary for 424 days”.
LIASSON: That’s a really interesting question.
And Trump has begun to acknowledge to associates and even in public that he might lose. He has stripped a long list of news organizations – including the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Politico and the Washington Post – of their credentials, and vowed that as president he would make it easier to sue news outlets.
“Maybe you should go down and volunteer or do something”, Trump told the audience, bemoaning Pennsylvania’s lack of voter identification requirements.
LIASSON: But way back in the spring, he did an interview with Fox News’ Megyn Kelly where he suggested a different reaction to losing. This has been a very unpredictable race, and it could stay that way.
