Hillary Clinton campaign manager: Donald Trump's campaign is "panicked"

Source: cbs




By Rebecca Shabad CBS News October 4, 2016, 9:52 AM



Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook said Tuesday that he thinks Donald Trump’s campaign now seems “a bit panicked” because of the GOP presidential nominee’s bad last week, which included the recent revelation that he declared a loss of nearly a billion dollars in his 1995 tax returns, as well as an early-morning Twitter attack on a former Miss Universe.

In an interview on “CBS This Morning,” Mook was asked how Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine will break through at the debate against his opponent Mike Pence Tuesday night.

“I think the Trump campaign is a bit panicked right now,” he said. “They need to change the narrative, they need to change the message, they’ve had a bad week so we’re expecting them to throw a lot of mud. It’s going to be very interesting to see how Mike Pence responds to questions about Trump’s behavior in the last week.”

Mook wondered if Pence would defend Trump’s 5 a.m. tweets about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado -- in which he called her “disgusting,” and urged Twitter users to “check out [her] sex tape” -- and the new revelations by the New York Times that he might have avoided paying income taxes for up to 18 years.

Trump speaks out against transgender and female soldiers in ‘PC military’


First he rags about the PC military--then he says he will refer to the admirals. ha ha. Recall that he said a few weeks ago he would appoint his own generals!

“We’re going to get away from political correctness,” Trump answered to applause. “We’re gonna have to do that.”

“We have a politically correct military, and it’s getting more and more politically correct every day, and a lot of the great people in this room don’t even understand how it’s possible to do that. And that’s through intelligence not ignorance, believe me, because some of the things they’re asking you to do and be politically correct about are ridiculous.”

Children across the country may not be able to vote, but they’re still paying attention to the election—and they can feel the effects of Donald Trump’s bullying.

Trump has painted Mexicans as “rapists,” “criminals,” and murderers—and called for a new “special deportation task force.” He has called for a ban on Muslims from entering the country. And during the first presidential debate, Hillary Clinton pointed out Trump’s history of disparaging women, comparing them to “fat pigs” and “slobs.”

Kids across America can hear Trump loud and clear—and they’re frightened. Take a look at some of the heartbreaking letters kids have sent to Hillary:
Children of Mexican descent are scared of what a Trump presidency will mean:

“I want you to win because I don’t want to go back to Mexico… It takes me one week and one days to get to Mexico. I love the USA.” -Alexander

On Sunday, Oct. 2, an enthusiastic flashmob took over New York City's Union Square in homage to Hillary Clinton's signature look.

The group, all donning Hillary's classic pantsuit, danced to Justin Timberlake's "Can't Stop The Feeling!" in an attempt to "combine art with a bit of activism," Crishon Jerome, one of the dance's co-choreographers, wrote on Facebook.

According to the same post, more than 160 dancers were expected to take part in the performance.

Jerome wrote that the event was seeking people who "don't want to see this country ruled under Donald [Trump]."
