5. Yeah I guess. Hillary is at fundraisers while Trump is making "Deals" with the President of Mexico.

I hope to God I'm missing something in Clinton Camp's strategy. They're assuming folks aren't paying attention right now, but they are surely mistaken. Trump is dinking and dunking down the field while Clinton camp is in the prevent defense trying to hold on. And, you know what they say about the prevent defense.

9. Clinton and Kaine are the SANE ones. They don't have to act like jerks.

They're having events and running ads -- if the media fails to notice you could try writing to the comment lines. If your newspaper is like mine and ignores Trump's faults while whining about Hillary's "baggage" you can write a LTTE.

But your concern is noted.

10. Wait, you seriously think Trump is making deals with Enrique Peņa Nieto?

As in you think a change of rhetoric is forthcoming from Enrique Peña Nieto? Trump is going to promise some money, Enrique Peña Nieto is going to bow and scrape to Trump?

Trump has ticked off the people of Mexico in a way people not in the fold may not grasp, but Enrique Peña Nieto does grasp the debth of their animosity. Trump called them "rapist" threatened to build a wall, which he said he'd make the citizens of Mexico pay for, and he said he'd demolish NAFTA.

Either Trump is going to beg off, and walk that all back, or he thinks he has enough to attempt to bribe Nieto into submission, which he doesn't. Mexican citizens are up in arms over Trumps words. So, begging off is his only viable option, except it doesn't work with his base.

Either way it doesn't look good for Trump. This is a much bigger game than getting a golf course/resort approved on foreign land. Which I'm not sure Trump realizes yet.

Some people say she's also responsible for the blown out flip flop. Congress to open an investigation into any possible criminal acts immediately!
