Clinton tears into Trump on taxes

TALLAHASSEE |Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has taken the lead in Florida after many voters thought she won last week’s first head-to-head debate with Republican nominee Donald Trump, a new poll shows.

The revelation from a portion of Trump’s tax returns for that year gives the most detailed insight yet into the Republican nominee’s tax history during a time when his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, has suggested Trump is hiding something from voters.

The 42nd season of Saturday Night Live kicked off with a bang this weekend as the famed sketch show wasted absolutely no time diving into the political absurdity that was last week’s Presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.

She continued: “He has put forth a tax plan that would cut his own taxes even more”. Her lead ballooned to 32 points afterwards.

Former Rep. Jack Kingston, a Trump supporter, said Monday he was confident Trump paid his taxes as required by law.

Voters are in near-universal agreement, though, that paying taxes is every American’s civic duty. “They just want to see victory”. Those Clinton voters appeared to have migrated to the “others” category in the poll, which are voters who declined to pick either Clinton or Trump.

A CNN/ORC poll conducted after the debate and released Monday showed a similar bounce for the Democrat, who led Trump by five points, 47 percent to 42 percent among likely voters nationwide.

Clinton’s backing among independents rose sharply, from 21 percent in the previous poll to 34 percent. On Friday, Mason-Dixon Polling and Research reported Mason-Dixon said Clinton had 46 percent to 42 percent for Trump. That resulted in a sharp shift to Trump when assessing preferences among likely voters rather than registered voters.

This time around, her voters are no less likely than Trump voters to qualify as likely voters.

Clinton said. “One of the nation’s biggest banks, bullying thousands of employees into committing fraud against unsuspecting customers, secretly opening up millions of accounts for people without their consent, even their knowledge, misusing their personal information and sticking customers with hidden fees”.

Clinton has narrowed Trump’s edge on handling the marquee issues of the economy and terrorism while increasing her edge on foreign policy, immigration and improving life for racial and ethnic minorities.

Indeed, the possibility that Trump went years without paying federal income tax might prove acutely embarrassing for a high-living candidate who often has cast himself as a champion of the common taxpayer. In Mississippi, he gained 1.5 percent and Clinton lost 0.9 percent. Trump did not mention the tweets on Friday evening as he rallied supporters in MI.

Arizona, where Trump had held an advantage, was also considered a toss-up.

In the September 26 CNU survey Clinton received 34 percent of the vote among Virginia millennials to 27 percent for Johnson, 23 percent for Trump, 4 percent for McMullin and 4 percent for Stein. “Here’s a woman, she’s supposed to fight all these different things and she can’t make it 15 feet to her auto”, Trump said.

Clinton noted that the real estate mogul has been sued by a wide array of contractors who accused him of nonpayment for projects in Atlantic City and elsewhere, as well as by people who said they were cheated by Trump University.

Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, led Clinton by 2 points during the firm’s last poll from mid-September.

Instead, she has deployed numerous surrogates to MI to campaign on her behalf, including running mate Tim Kaine and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, who was in Saginaw and Flint on Monday.

About 52 percent of likely MI voters had an unfavorable view of Clinton in The News-WDIV statewide poll conducted last week.
