Mika Brzezinski: People like Ann Coulter "are hurting America" and have no place in the mainstream media.

She didn't want to report on ha at all.

Good. She doesn't deserve all the free press she gets.

Hillary +7 In New USA Today National Poll

Hillary Clinton holds a 7 percentage-point head-to-head advantage over Donald Trump in the latest national Suffolk University/USA Today poll out Thursday, leading by the same margin in a four-way matchup as well.

The Democratic nominee earned the support of 48 percent of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed by landlines and cellphones from Aug. 24 to Aug. 29, with an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Trump, meanwhile, earned 41 percent, nearly the same share both candidates earned in a Fox News poll released Wednesday evening but conducted over a shorter time period of Sunday through Tuesday.

The margin is also consistent with the 7-point lead Clinton held over Trump in the latest Monmouth University national poll, conducted Aug. 25 through Sunday.

Trump, who has usually outperformed Clinton among men, clings to a 1-point edge over the former secretary of state, 44 percent to 43 percent. And among women, Clinton leads by 16 points — 54 percent to 38 percent.

Trump needs to attract female voters and fast or else. Doubt he will though

I don’t see myself in any of the coverage of the campaign. All I ever hear from media is that nobody likes or trusts the one candidate who has an 89 percent chance of winning the presidency. In media, I never hear from voters like me who are enthusiastic supporters.I never see reporters wading among eager backers at Clinton rallies to ask them how much they like her and why. I don’t even hear her surrogates (what a ridiculous beltway/TV invention that is, by the way) asked about their support of Clinton, only their defense of her. In media, I never hear echoes of the voices I heard last week when I met people on the porches of West Philly, who told me their families were all in to vote for Hillary. (Only when I continued the conversation did they also agree we must defeat Trump). Like me, they are voting for, not against.

Hillary Clinton raised $143 million in August, a total that includes her own campaign’s collections as well as money for joint fundraising committees with the national and state parties.

Her campaign hailed the monthly fundraising haul Thursday as its best of the campaign cycle. The Democratic nominee has more than $68 million on hand, and its average donation last month was about $50.

“Thanks to the 2.3 million people who have contributed to our campaign, we are heading into the final two months of the race with the resources we need to organize and mobilize millions of voters across the country,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said in a statement.

She's winning! Don't believe the media.

We haven't had polls from the A rated ones since mid August. They will tell a different story from LATimes very soon.

It's one thing to support a candidate and another to say stupid things like this.

I wonder what will happen if Trump loses, where will he go then?

Hope both sides kick him to the curb

POLITICO reporting Sen. Sanders to campaign for Hillary in New Hampshire on Monday.

Quote:

Bernie Sanders will hit the trail for Hillary Clinton on Monday in New Hampshire, in the former Democratic presidential rival's first event campaigning solo since he announced his endorsement of the former secretary of state in July.

"Sanders will discuss Hillary Clinton's plan to building [sic] an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top, and Donald Trump's plan, which would benefit himself and other millionaires and billionaires," the Clinton campaign said in an announcement.

The events are starting to heat up!

Why is the DNC still DESPERATELY begging for money, saying they didn't meet their goal, when we found out yesterday they've had their greatest quarter yet?

They need to hush, I've donated plenty this month.

Today Hillary Clinton is announcing a new plan to protect Americans from unjustified price hikes of long-available prescription drugs with limited competition, like EpiPens and pyrimethamine, the drug for a disease related to AIDS that Turing Pharmaceuticals raised the price of by more than 5,000%. After speaking out against excessive prices for prescription drugs throughout the campaign and, last week, calling for Mylan to lower its EpiPen price, Clinton believes that Mylan’s recent actions have not gone far enough to remedy their outrageous price increase. So today, Clinton is proposing a new set of strong tools that will let the government take effective action in such cases where public health is put at risk by an unjustified, outlier price increase for a treatment long available on the market with limited competition.

She’ll start by convening representatives of Federal agencies charged with ensuring health and safety, as well as fair competition, to create a dedicated group charged with protecting consumers from outlier price increases.
Clinton’s plan would make new enforcement tools available including:

Making alternatives available and increasing competition: Directly intervening to make treatments available, and supporting alternative manufacturers that enter the market and increase competition, to bring down prices and spur innovation in new treatments.

Emergency importation of safe treatments: Broadening access to safe, high-quality alternatives through emergency importation from developed countries with strong safety standards.

Penalties for unjustified price increase to hold drug companies accountable and fund expanded access: Holding drug makers accountable for unjustified price increases with new penalties, such as fines – and using the funds or savings to expand access and competition.

Eric Trump can't believe Latino supporters bailed

Eric Trump expressed incredulity Friday in reaction to the disavowal of two of the campaign’s Hispanic surrogates in the wake of Donald Trump’s immigration speech this week, suggesting that the campaign would try to reach back out to them and clarify his father’s position on the issue.

Both Jacob Monty, a member of Trump’s National Hispanic Advisory Council, and surrogate Alfonso Aguilar, the president of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles, said Thursday that they are no longer supporting the Republican nominee. Other members of the council have suggested that they might also pull their support.

“Which is actually pretty amazing, considering the speech. It was actually very consistent and has been very consistent with his plan,” Eric Trump remarked during an interview on “Fox & Friends,” calling it “really interesting.”

Mess.

Mike Pence Wrote An Article Urging Employers Not to Hire Gay People

Mike Pence, Donald Trump's running mate in this year's presidential election, published articles urging employers not to hire gay employees while he was head of the Indiana Policy Review in the 1990s.

One such article published during Pence's tenure reads: "Homosexuals are not as a group able-bodied. They are known to carry extremely high rates of disease brought on because of the nature of their sexual practices and the promiscuity which is a hallmark of their lifestyle."

Pence also argues in the piece that homosexuality is a "pathological condition."
