IT'S A WRAP

++The New Approval Poll for Trump among African-Americans shows he gets ZERO approval  rating and 3% are undecided. The outreach has done wonders.

++DRUDGE, who is trying to live his glory days as an anti-Clinton website,re-circulated the right-wing rumor that Hillary Clinton has a lesbian affair with Huma Abedin. The slight problem is that Drudge showed Hillary kissing   Burmese dissident leader Aung San Suu Kyi.

++Remember Reince Preibus said Trump would be even or ahead by Labor Day.

++Stuart Rothenberg puts a damper on those of us who feel that this election should be like 1964. Rothenberg shows that electoral blow outs are exceedingly rare because of political politicization and that Hillary's floor is 332 electoral votes and her high about 379. Obama did 332 against Romney and 365 against McCain. 

++Rothenberg says Trump's Rustbelt strategy is going nowhere. Maybe he picks up Iowa and Nevada. He laughs off Trump's claims about making New Jersey,Connecticut and California competitive. 

++Stu says that even if Trump should win Florida,Ohio,Iowa and Nevada that leave him short in the electoral college.

++He feels the missing question is whether Hillary can take North Carolina. But then that's academic.

++Mother Jones does a public service by showing that 45% of the donors to the NRA are foreigners. It is the way they can sell guns in the United States.

++The Clinton campaign's fund-raising is now aimed at the House. May I humbly suggest that the reader adopt a congressional candidate. I have three --two American Indians and a Danish-American women. My Senate picks are Russ Feingold, Patsy Judge in Iowa and two to be chosen later. If you live in California,donate to Darryl Issa's opponent because the car thief is in real trouble.

++As for the Clinton campaign,it is running very smoothly and is focusing its SuperPac money on GOTV activities among Hispanics and African-Americans. The press has criticized it for not holding a general press conference. Mook argues Hillary has had over 300 one-on-one interviews during her campaign. But the press want more--to talk about her emails.

++I rate Clinton's campaign better than Obama in 2012 where he decided to play it safe,and 2008.  The one issue I have is that it doesn't seem to have the bottom up feedback Obama built in his 2008 campaign. This allows surrogates to hone the message to localities and micro-target infrequent voters. 

++About Hillary Clinton's ethical issues, you lose me. Let Trey Gowdy investigate them all next administration. I suggest bringing Dan Burton back to shoot watermelons to prove she could have killed Vin Foster.

++But it is basically a wrap. Hillary by early KO.
