State of the Election 2016
Before I get into the ugliness of the news, I'd like to continue an ongoing meme and show you my favorite "Basket of Adorables" from Karen Tumulty.
OK, enough of that.
Trump in the News
So now that you know my process, I can tell you that the 'Trump' google came up with an article about donors and Paul Ryan. The story was soon pushed out by others, but the main point is that it was not "basket of deplorables' despite Trump's attempts to keep it in the new.
This is attack is now problematic because of Pence's refusal to call David Duke a deplorable.
I made reference to this in the 09-12 update. The "basket of deplorables" argument now has the problem of making us all ask about just what number of supporters are deplorable, and questions Trump not calling them that.
However, this tactic only works when confronted by a Clinton surrogate or interviewer willing to ask. Trump and Pence can bring this up in rallies and commercials with no fear. This now becomes only a way to "rally the base" and build enthusiams, for both sides. For Trump, this is the opportunity to draw in traditional republican voters that are uncomfortable with him. For Clinton, this is a way to bring enthusiasm when she has a problem making her voters entusiastic.
There is also the beginning of an investion into the Trump Foundation by the NY AG, but it's too early to tell if this goes anywhere.
Oh and Trump made a childcare policy speech. Like this would happen? Though, if Trump gets elected, the country will be run by Ivanka, while he plays golf, so maybe.

Clinton in the News
Guess what? Clinton's still sick. The talk now has moved from her lack of transparency (which only reporters care about) to how much medial information presidential candidates should disclose.
Both candidates have said they will release more medical records. Here's the catch. Trump is going to do it on the Dr. Oz show. And, as of this morning, the campaign has stated, his recent test results will not be released.
Now, I'm going to indulge into a little fun speculation. I wonder if Trump can release real medical records. He may have none. Doctor shopping would not be out of Trump's character, and he may have only seen doctors telling him what he wanted to hear. In other words, this guy could really be his doctor.
