| Warner warns Trump: 'loose lips sink ships' | |
| Lauren Gambino | |
| Retired five-term Virginia senator John Warner, a popular Republican with a distinguished military career, endorsed Hillary Clinton on Wednesday with a sharp warning for her opponent: “Loose lips sink ships, you got that Donald?” | |
| The Guardian’s Lauren Gambino reports: | |
| Warner, a World War II veteran, former US Navy Secretary and former chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee, was joined by vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, a senator from Virginia, onstage at a recreational center in Arlington. Warner announced that he would cross party lines to support the Democratic ticket, calling Clinton “prepared”, “firm” and “respectful”, while admonishing Donald Trump. | |
| “No one should have the audacity to stand up and degrade the Purple Heart or military families,” Warner said, his soft voice growing louder. | |
| Warner said Trump’s assertions that the US military is in “shambles” and its generals have been “reduced to rubble” were false. | |
| “What we have today the strongest military in the world,” Warner said. “Does it need to be modified and changed and added to and modernized? You bet it does. But it is not in shambles. | |
| “It is not the admirals and the generals and the seniors in rubble in the hallways in the Pentagon. I was there two weeks ago and I saw those very halls that I used to traverse for five years, four months and three days as the Navy Secretary and there still as vibrant as the day I left.” | |
| At the event, a small gathering of mostly veterans and members of the press, Kaine introduced Warner as friend of the family, recalling his relationship with Kaine’s father-in-law, former Virginia governor Linwood Holton. | |
| “There’s an apocryphal story that Ive never cared to research that my father in law broke a paddle over John Warner’s hindquarters at a fraternity event,” Kaine said drawing laughs. | |
| He praised Warner as a man who has never been afraid to put “country and commonwealth” over party, and noted that the Republican endorsed his own bid for Senate in 2012. | |
| “John Warner is an example of how it could be done and should be done,” Kaine said. | |

| For the past two months, most national polls have put Democrat Hillary Clinton ahead of Republican Donald Trump. The size of that lead can vary significantly from poll to poll - she was seven percentage points ahead according to an NBC poll, then only one percentage point ahead, according to Quinnipiac University – but they still suggest Clinton is winning the majority of support. | For the past two months, most national polls have put Democrat Hillary Clinton ahead of Republican Donald Trump.

| Numbers from LA Times and USC published on Wednesday tell a very different story, though, because they suggest Trump is four percentage points ahead of Clinton. What’s more, LA Times and USC polling have consistently suggested a more optimistic picture for Donald Trump (no wonder the candidate has tweetedtheir poll results).
