TRUMP DECEPTIONS

++The Trump campaign can't get off Alicia Machado. Newt Gingrich proclaimed it is the new Benghazi. 

++Trump thinks he has a hot one by demanding President Obama not pardon Hillary for her private e-mail server. He is attacking the aides who got immunity to give testify to the FBI. Unfortunately that is tough to explain to a layperson.

++Fox News is ramping up new interest in the email server.

++Trump says he is good at marriage and now wants to attack Hillary's and Bill's philanderings. The American Spectator which was part of Scaife's Arkansas Project is bringing out all the women. The Trump campaign will now concentrate on Juanita Brodderick, the Maryland Democratic fund-raiser who says she was groped by Bill. Trump has asked his followers to urge him to attack her marriage. If you want to go back to 1990s, be my guess.

++The logic was expressed by Ms. Conway, whose husband was a conservative lawyer active in the impeachment hearing against Clinton. If you can discuss the Cuba connection and things Trump dating back to the 1990s,we can bring up the marriage.

++Trump has massive debt to the Deustche Bank which now must pay billions in fines because of their role in the subprime mortgage crisis. Republican lawyers have argued that this creates a conflict between Trump's private interest and the national interest. Again it raises the issue of putting his business in a private trust and not in the hands of his family.

++Let's admit it, Hillary had a great week of polls, ending September strongly. But the chaos Trump is now sowing could create minefields and an issue that supersedes the myriad legal problems he has.

++There is a subtext of the media actually getting set to help him. RCP, which leans Republican anyway,did not print the PPP polls of swing states because they all favored Hillary. Then late this afternoon, they had a piece how Trump was cutting into Hillary's lead in New Hampshire. No evidence of this.

++But the right is desperate to move the discussion of how badly Trump did in the debates. The admission by the Debate Commission that Trump's mike did short circuit is enough vindication for them to go on the offensive again.

++Trump boasted he had raised $18 million format the debate. But there is little evidence this is true. 

++So the Democrats tonight are hysterical in their fund raising which predicts an apocalypse.
