Talk of sex tapes takes presidential campaign on sordid turn

“You’re not supposed to gain 60 pounds during the year that you’re Miss Universe”, said the former House speaker, who has no known experience in or around beauty pageants. And some Republicans are warning that it could backfire.

Trump on Friday also demanded President Barack Obama make a pledge not to pardon Hillary Clinton, who has not been charged with nor convicted of any kind of crime.

When Clinton complained that Trump “said women don’t deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men”, I wondered, “So Hillary believes that women should get equal pay even when they don’t do as good a job?”

Mere moments after leaving the debate stage Monday night, Trump was already patting himself on the back for not going there in the first contest. “It’s fair game to think about how Hillary Clinton treated those women after the fact”, Conway said. “Because I have a lot of respect for Chelsea Clinton”, he told CNN’s Dana Bash. When asked directly, he refused to discuss the issue. “I’m going to keep talking about the stakes in this election”, Clinton said. According to the Reuters news agency, Clinton is still in the lead by 5%, exactly the same lead that she had last month.

“There’s been a lot of talk about sex tapes today and in a unusual turn of events only one adult film has emerged today, and its star is Donald Trump”, said Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill.

The Friday night speech was the latest example of Trump’s sharpened focus on the economy – and his Democratic opponent’s shortcomings – as he treks across the Midwestern battlegrounds he needs to become the 45th president of the United States.

On Capitol Hill, GOP lawmakers urged Trump this week to stay away from former President Clinton’s affairs. Burgess says she’s not personally offended by Trump’s remarks, but she knows many women are.

In a nod to the concerns expressed by some Trump allies that he was insufficiently prepared for the first faceoff, Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee released a survey meant to engage supporters online.

NOVI, Mich. (AP) – Thousands of MI voters roared with approval as Donald Trump lashed out at an economic system he said was rigged against everyday Americans.

Levinson, a former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, was working for the Central Intelligence Agency when he disappeared in 2007, supposedly while looking into cigarette smuggling as a private investigator “It is long past time for the Iranian regime to provide information on his whereabouts and let him return home to his family”, she said.

The most frequently used Clinton advertisements about Trump show regular people, often in the flicker of a television set, spliced with footage of Trump.

Trump told the Times he was “absolutely disgusted” that Clinton enlisted the help of Machado for her campaign and that Clinton, who has portrayed Machado as a victim, had “made this young lady into a girl scout when she was the exact opposite”.

Her husband later admitted that he did, in fact, have an affair with Flowers.

Of course, many Democrats can’t be bothered with off-year plebiscites, which is why you can’t swing a dead cat (if indeed, deceased cat-swinging is your thing) in Congress and most state legislatures without hitting a Republican.

America saw the difference between unfit and unqualified Donald Trump and superbly qualified Hilliary Clinton. During Monday’s debate, he told Clinton he’s noticed “the very nasty commercials that you do on me in so many different ways, which I don’t do on you”.

The attack on Bill Clinton will be an attempt to win over women voters, with whom he has record-low favourability ratings.

Clinton added that for people who don’t see any economic opportunities, being part of a political revolution is “pretty appealing”. But most remain skeptical that it will stick the way that the Republican nominee seems to hope.

The UPI/CVoter daily presidential tracking poll released Saturday shows Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by almost 2 percentage points.
