“The slew of recent general election polls asking who voters will likely support in November are not taking into account just how bad Donald Trump's so-called woman problem really is. The fact is that Trump has already alienated female voters in record numbers and these polls show how close he is to handing the election to Hillary Clinton because of this issue. This Washington Post-ABC poll shows how bad things have gotten for Trump with women. So while among all adult voters, 67 percent view Trump unfavorably, amo...”

“Hillary Clinton criticized Donald Trump on Tuesday for his delayed donations to veterans charities, saying the episode shows the "difference between what Donald Trump says and what Donald Trump does." The presumptive Republican presidential candidate claimed to have raised the money while campaigning in Iowa earlier this year, but the cash didn't surface until recently, when reporters began investigating whether he ever made the donations he promised. The Associated Press said half the checks were da...”

“OK. Consider this a case of severe political whiplash. For weeks and weeks, all we've been hearing from the Sanders camp (and from Bernie himself) is that the process is rigged against him. Now, in an interview with CBS's Face The Nation, Bernie says the process is "dumb, but not rigged." On May 2, Bernie said this: "When we talk about a rigged system, it's also important to understand how the Democratic Convention works. We have won, at this point, 45 percent of pledged delegates, but we have only earned 7 percen...”

“On April 11, 2015, the Guardian wondered if Hillary Clinton could "bridge her enthusiasm gap." In November, 2015, the New York Times published a column titled "Lack of Enthusiasm From Supporters May Undermine Clinton's Lead." These and countless other similar pieces are part of an untold story: The profound strategic oversight by Hillary's detractors, who have failed to acknowledge or understand the unshakable devotion of Hillary's voters. There is perhaps no more accepted (and wrongheaded) piece of conventional w...”

“Donald Trump launched a vicious attack on the media today, who have, until this point, been treating him with kid gloves and disproportionately favorable coverage. It was a chilling view into how a Trump administration would try to undermine, intimidate, and silence the press.  During a press conference, reporters asked Donald valid and routine questions about his disbursements of charitable donations to veterans' groups—questions necessitated by his campaign's failure to provide straightforward and consistent ans...”

“The AP  has reported that Donald Trump has sent out several large checks to veterans organizations. The Republican nominee made the announcement Tuesday saying that he had kept the promise he made during a fundraiser held last January to give back to veterans. The announcement was made during a press conference where he attacked the press for raising questions concerning the promised funds. ‘Instead of being like, ‘Thank you very much, Mr. Trump,' or ‘Trump did a good job,' everyone's saying: ‘Who got it? Who got i...”

“BURLINGTON, Vt. — Burlington College, once a thriving school for artists, now looks abandoned and bereft. The huge red-and-white sign congratulating graduates remains, but faculty name placards have been pulled from the walls. Empty nails line the corridors, and the front doors are locked. After 44 years of operation, the college closed for good on Friday. And the timing couldn't be worse: As they salvage artwork and pack up classrooms, former students and faculty are under an unwanted national spotlight because of...”

“'We don't agree politically, but we don't talk politics,' Bush said of Clinton. Barbara Bush: 'I love Bill Clinton' By Tal Kopan 01/21/14 08:04 AM EST Former first lady Barbara Bush says while their politics might not align, she and her husband are very close with his successor, former President Bill Clinton. "I love Bill Clinton. Maybe not his politics, but I love Bill Clinton," Bush said in an interview with C-SPAN that aired Monday. Story Continued Below Bush said the friendship...”

“Hillary Clinton faces deep distrust on the subject of financial regulation from some segments of the liberal community, both because her husband's administration presided over some substantial financial deregulation in the 1990s and because as a senator from New York she often represented Wall Street's interests on Capitol Hill. But at times, Clinton has revealed a side that falls much closer to Elizabeth Warren than to Barack Obama. Where the incumbent sees the financial sector as performing a fundamentally usefu...”
