As Clinton spoke, Trump tweeted away:
Hillary says this election is about judgment. She's right. Her judgement has killed thousands, unleashed ISIS and wrecked the economy.
Hillary Clinton surged the trade deficit with China 40% as Secretary of State, costing Americans millions of jobs.
How can Hillary run the economy when she can’t even send emails without putting entire nation at risk?
Hillary Clinton’s open borders immigration policies will drive down wages for all Americans - and make everyone less safe.
Obama-Clinton inherited $10T in debt and turned it into nearly $20T. They have bankrupted… https://www.instagram.com/p/BG7IYzumhZw/

Clinton concludes with a thought experiment. Imagine Trump as president when “your jobs and savings are at stake”.
Clinton:
We can’t let him bankrupt America like we are one of his failed casinos. We can’t let him roll the dice with our children’s futures.
Just imagine if you can, Donald Trump sitting in the Oval Office, the next time America faces a crisis. Imagine him being in charge when your jobs and savings are at stake... someone thin-skinned and quick to anger, who’d likely be on Twitter attacking reporters, or bringing the whole regulatory system down on critics?
Would he even know what to do?
Donald Trump believes in the worst of us. He thinks we’re fearful not confident. ... He thinks the only way forward is to go back to a past prosperity...
In fact the only way forward is forward.
Clinton’s done. Cue Rachel Platten.

Clinton: Trump has 'one move'
Clinton says he intentionally ran up debt, bankrupting his companies four times, and defaulting. “I play with bankruptcy,” Trump has said.
Clinton quotes him and replies:
Everything seems to be a game with him... in Atlantic city, he put his names on buildings, his favorite thing to do... when his casino and hotel went bankrupt because of how badly he mismanaged them, he still walked away with millions.
She quotes him again: “Atlantic City was a very good cash cow for me for a very long time.” Clinton replies, “remember that the next time you see him on TV.
He’s doing the exact same thing he’s been doing for years. This is his one move. He makes over-the-top promises... and then everything falls apart, and people get hurt. Those promises you’re hearing from him at his campaign rallies, those are the same promises he made to his customers at Trump university.
The same people he’s trying to get to vote for him are the people he’s been exploiting for years... It’s working people. He’s been involved in more than 3,500 lawsuiots in the last 30 years... a lot of them small businesses.. that never got paid.
Not because he couldn’t pay them, but because he could stiff them. Sometimes he offered them 30 cents on the dollar... hundreds of liens have been filed against him.
Clinton gives voice to the “painters, plumbers” working people stiffed by Trump: “I worked for him. I did my job. He wouldn’t pay me what he owed me.”
Clinton continues:
No this is not normal behavior. There are great business people here in Ohio, in America... they want to build something that lasts. They’re decent, they’re honest... and they would never dream of acting the way Donald Trump does.
In America, we don’t begrudge people being successful, but we know people shouldn’t do it by destroying other people’s dreams.

Clinton: Trump's books about business 'all seem to end at Chapter 11'
Clinton cuts loose a line: “He’s written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11.”
Clinton grants Trump his nickname “king of debt”:
The king of debt has no real plan for making college debt payable back... he has no credible plan for rebuilding our infrastructure apart from the wall he wants to build. Personally I’d rather spend the money rebuilding our schools... he has no ideas on how to strengthen Medicare or expanding social security..he has no real strategy for creating jobs... But then maybe we shouldn’t expect better from someone whose most famous words are ‘you’re fired’.
He has not clean energy plan..he just says climate change is a hoax invented by the Chinese. Well... it is a lot easier to say a problem doesn’t exist than it is to actually try to solve it.
She also says he has no plan to address generational poverty in rural and urban communities.
In the heat of a campaign... it is tempting to give simple answers to complex problems. Believe me I have been tempted. But I am not going to do that.
I think Donald Trump has said he’s qualified to be president because of his business record... Let’s take a look at what he did in his business. He’s written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11. Go figure.

“Trump’s own products are made in a lot of countries that aren’t named America,” Clinton says. She lists Trump ties, Trump suits, Trump ties, Trump picture frames, Trump barware.
I’d love for him to explain how that fits with all his talk about America first. I honestly believe that the difference between us is not just about policy. We have fundamentally different views about whether America is strong or weak... Donald Trump never misses a chance to say that Americans-- he’s talking about us – are losers, and the rest of the world is laughing at us.
Just the other day, he told a crowd that America quote ‘is not going to survive’. I don’t know what he’s talking about.
In her travels as secretary of state, she says, she saw envy of America around the world.

Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks owner and media mogul, whose skepticism about Trump’s fortune we cited in the previous post, has served up a new round of Trump-doubt.
Cuban, a bona fide billionaire, does not think Trump is as rich as Trump claims he is. (Trump claims he is worth $10bn; Forbes last fall said $4.5bn; but there are at least 10 reasons to doubt that Trump is indeed a billionaire.)
If @realDonaldTrump were fractionally as rich as he says he is,he would write a$200mm check to propel his campaign. He doesn't have the cash
Update: former top Obama adviser David Axelrod is a rich-man-Trump heretic too:
After all that braggadocio, it's pretty clear @realDonaldTrump doesn't have the $$ to fund his campaign, and is having trouble raising it.

Trump says fundraising so far 'incredible'
The Donald Trump campaign has released a statement explaining FEC filings that showed the campaign raised only $3m in May and has just $1.3m on hand, compared with Clinton’s $42.5m cash on hand.
Trump recapitulates an explanation he used Friday to explain his slumping poll numbers. Basically, he says, he hasn’t started yet:
The month of June represents the first full month of fundraising activity for the campaign and this will be reflected in the June FEC report,” the statement says. “The campaign held its first campaign fundraising event on May 25th, 2016. To date, the campaign’s fundraising has been incredible and we continue to see a tremendous outpouring of support for Mr. Trump and money to the Republican Party.
In an addendum to the statement, Trump promises that he “would put up my own money” for the general election, implicitly claiming a personal liquidity and willingness to spend big that critics have questioned, for example:
1) I expect @realDonaldTrump to try to calm down. He doesn't have the cash to fund his campaign, he needs to appease donors quickly
Trump said:
If need be, there could be unlimited “cash on hand” as I would put up my own money, as I have already done through the primaries, spending over $50 million dollars. Our campaign is leaner and more efficient, like our government should be.

Clinton to attack Trump on economy
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to begin her remarks on Donald Trump and the economy in Columbus, Ohio, shortly. Here’s a live video stream:

The Pennsylvania question
The Quinnipiac University poll of the swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania we mentioned in the intro bears further examination, if only because it’s a great excuse to have a look at the electoral map.
The best news in the poll for Hillary Clinton is in Florida, where she leads Donald Trump by eight points, 47-39, compared with a one-point lead, 43-42, in the same poll on 10 May.
Florida is very important. If Clinton wins the 18 states (plus Washington, DC) that Democrats have won in every presidential election going back to 1992, and then wins Florida, she wins the presidency with 271 electoral votes.
Here’s a map of the stronghold states (WHICH, one should note, can and will change, but here’s how it’s been going):
Can Clinton count on those 18 states to hold in 2016? Trump has vowed to flip his home state, New York, and other states such as California and New Jersey to the Republicans. The idea bespeaks wild optimism crossing over into the “delusional”, to borrow a word from keen elections observer Stuart Rothenberg.
Clinton could well build on those 18 states, starting with New Mexico, with its large Latino population, and Colorado, ditto, and Virginia, which Obama won twice and which is currently governed by Clinton best friend Terry McAuliffe who this spring returned the right to vote to as many as 200,000 former felons in the state.
But say Clinton must keep those 18 plus DC. Which brings us to Pennsylvania, with its 20 electoral votes. The Quinnipiac poll finds the race virtually unchanged from a month ago, at 42-41 Clinton-Trump.
Can Clinton hold Pennsylvania? Dave Wasserman of the Cook Political Report and others have identified the state as a possible surprise pickup for Republicans, based on the growth of Republican-leaning, former mining and steel territory in the west, versus Philadelphia and its suburbs, which are bedrock Democratic territory. Wasserman wrote last month:
As it turns out, Colorado and Virginia are among the top 10 fastest Democratic-trending states in the nation — they are, respectively, getting about 0.9 percentage points and 1.2 points more Democratic-leaning compared with the country every four years. By contrast, Pennsylvania has gradually migrated in the opposite direction. It’s gotten about 0.4 percentage points more Republican every four years.
Projecting this trend forward another four years from 2012’s results would reorder the existing battleground states on the 2016 electoral map.
If Clinton did lose Pennsylvania, it would have serious electoral implications (not least owing to what such a loss would imply about the strength of her campaign in general). She would have much more need for Florida, in addition to a couple other swing states.
So let the argument over Pennsylvania commence. Rothenberg notes that “Republican strategists begin almost every presidential election talking about snatching Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from the Democratic column, and each time they have failed.” Maybe this year’s different?
Former Barack Obama campaign manager David Plouffe throws a little cold water on Clinton’s Florida lead in the Quinnipiac poll – but outright dismisses the notion of a close Pennsylvania race:
The Q(uestionable) Polls out today causing lots of commotion. Clinton won't win FL by 8 and has zero chance of losing PA. Zero.
Really? Have you been to PA this year and talked to folks? https://t.co/KkoEKZ7pqB
Finally, a reminder: it’s one poll and the election is more than four months away.
Here's a thought: maybe state polls 4+ months before the election are a little noisy and we should mostly ignore them.

Hello, and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the 2016 race for the White House. Hillary Clinton plans to attack Donald Trump’s business record and policy plans in a speech in Columbus, Ohio, today. “If you put Donald Trump in the steering wheel of the American economy, he is very likely to drive us off a cliff,” Clintons plans to say, according to senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan (quoted in Bloomberg).
Clinton may also choose to dwell on the startling revelation from FEC filings on Monday evening that the Trump campaign is basically a pauper campaign, with only $1.3m cash on hand, which stacks up miserably next to Clinton, who reported $42.5m cash on hand, and to past campaigns (in May 2012, Mitt Romney raised $23.4m and had more than $17m in the bank).
Trouble for Trump? Hillary Clinton’s campaign has more cash than ever https://t.co/MwY5xBb7Ag
If there's one thing GOP grandees know it's money and Trump is looking seriously small time here, like tiny tiny hands time
More disturbing for Trump supporters, perhaps, was the amount of money flowing directly from the campaign to Trump companies and family members. Trump’s single biggest campaign expense in May was a payment of $423,371.70 to Mar-a-Lago, his Florida resort. More than $1m went to his companies or to his family, out of less than $7m spending total. Viz:

Trump defended his balance sheet on Tuesday morning, reported NBC’s Mark Murray:

Trump says he *might* dip into his wallet for the general-elex: I have a lot of cash and I may do it again in the general election
Meanwhile, Trump said on the @TODAYshow that replacing Corey Lewandowski as campaign manager was a matter of moving from the primaries to the general election. “We are going in a different direction.”

A new NBC/Survey Monkey poll on the same dates had Clinton ahead by six points, steady from the week before, but among Republican and Republican-leaning voters, Trump’s support “grew two points this week from last week, from 84% to 86%”.
Clinton had opened up a lead on Trump in the key swing state of Florida, meanwhile, according to a new Quinnipiac poll, and the candidates were in tight races in Ohio and Pennsylvania:
