Clinton’s Lead Over Trump Widens In New York

Democrats’ advantages include higher voter turnout for the presidential election and the departure of dozens of Republicans who were swept into office in the 2010 wave and can not run again under term limits.

“It’s not a normal year”, Day tells The News.

Still, winning the House won’t be easy for the Democrats, because congressional districts have been heavily gerrymandered, and Republicans control more of the governorships and state legislatures that oversee that process.

So the best strategy, according to several of his allies, boils down to this: Pretend Trump doesn’t exist. “We’ve made great progress”, said Rep. Aric Nesbitt of Lawton, chairman of the House Republican Campaign Committee.

In short, Ryan is trying to stay out of the drama. He engaged in an acrimonious battle, during which Trump insinuated, among other things, that Cruz’s father was implicit in John Kennedy’s assassination.

“At the Lucas County Victory Center for Trump“, Zawistowski said.

In response to the video, Ryan disinvited Trump from a previously scheduled campaign appearance in Elkhorn on October 8.

Ryan has said he will no longer defend Trump or campaign for him.

On money bills – spending and to an extent taxes – a President Clinton would have more leverage in dealing with a House Speaker Paul Ryan if she had a Senate majority on her side.

McDaniel said in her e-mail to state committee members that “this has been a challenging election where there is a considerable amount of party division”, but “over the next 24 days, I would ask that we each let our goal unite us, that we work together for our nominee Donald Trump and against Hillary Clinton, and do the same for the remainder of our candidates up and down the ballot”.

When Trump was asked whether he felt Ryan wanted him to win, the loud-mouthed mogul replied, “Maybe not, because maybe he wants to run in four years and maybe he doesn’t know how to win”.

Trump’s candidacy dominated the first five minutes of Monday’s debate between Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and his Democratic challenger, Katie McGuinty – a contest both political parties desperately want to win.

Before Trump arrived at the Monday night event, the crowd chanted ‘Paul Ryan Sucks’. Nearly exclusively, the Trump door knocks are being done by 15 ladies from Medina County Women for Trump. Nixon’s treacly remarks, which included an appeal to Eisenhower that the nominee found cloying and an appeal to the public that helped save Nixon’s place on the ticket, are remembered for his reference to his wife’s “Republican cloth coat” and to the story about a cocker spaniel sent to the Nixons by a supporter in Texas and that Tricia Nixon, then 6 years old, named Checkers. And speaking to a friendly Wisconsin radio host later in the afternoon, he wasn’t asked about Trump, either.

Timmer said he’s aware of the party bylaw, but removing Day is a mistake because it is “not focused on getting candidates elected” and avoiding what he fears could be a historic defeat.

The mum position showcases the hard political spot Ryan finds himself in just three weeks before Election Day – especially as conservative voters unleash their fury at what they see as a political establishment slinging against Trump.

A Fox News poll last week also found voters back Democratic congressional candidates, 48 to 42 percent.

In the Senate, Republicans – along with a Democrat who caucuses with them – hold a 26-23 advantage but a few close races in that chamber give Democrats hope they can regain a slim majority.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll taken after Portman pulled his Trump support shows him with an 18-point lead over Democratic opponent, former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland.

Ryan is a precarious spot. The court needs a ninth member and Garland, who was nominated by President Barack Obama seven months ago, is eminently qualified.

Some politicians – and Trump’s core supporters – have stood by his side through the rocky week. Before the tape reminded the pathologically forgetful of Trump’s feral appetites and deranged sense of entitlement, the staid Economist magazine, holding the subject of Trump at arm’s-length like a soiled sock, reminded readers of this: “When Mr. Trump divorced the first of his three wives, Ivana, he let the NY tabloids know that one reason for the separation was that her breast implants felt all wrong”.
