Trump campaign: 'nothing's changed' | |
Trump spokesman Jason Miller echoes the candidate himself: we don’t need elected Republicans anyway, we have the people behind us. | |
Re: today's Congressional call: Nothing's changed. Mr. Trump’s campaign has always been powered by a grassroots movement, not Washington. | |

Buffett slams Trump on taxes | |
Actual billionaire and actual philanthropist Warren Buffett has hit back at Donald Trump after Trump, at the debate last night, defended his (Trump’s) practice of carrying forward huge personal income losses to avoid paying future federal income taxes. | |
I’ve never done that, Buffett says in a statement. Also, I gave $2.9bn to charity in 2015. Also, I’m currently under IRS audit but that does not prevent me from releasing tax records. | |

Purported Clinton emails show fear that Trump might not win nomination | |
A new one from the trove of purported emails to and from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, leaked on Friday by Wikileaks. | |
“Right now I am petrified that Hillary is almost totally dependent on Republicans nominating Trump”: | |
From new Wikileaks dump: Team Hillary was terrified GOP would nominate anyone other than Trump. GOP came through in the end. pic.twitter.com/4L4Sl0ejEb | |

Republican revolt over notion of abandoning Trump – report | |
We have reports now of Republican fury after the conference call with speaker Paul Ryan in which he said he wouldn’t defend Trump and just wanted to prevent giving Hillary Clinton a blank check. Here’s the New York Times’ Jonathan Martin: | |
House conservatives are FURIOUS. Carter, McClintock, Long and especially Dana R angrily tell Rs they can't abandon Trump. LINK tk shortly | |
It seems like people are always saying the Republican party is falling apart / about to fall apart/ threatening to fall apart etc. But an open split with the presidential nominee that causes further splits between the leadership and rank-and-file as well as splits in the rank-and-file possibly culminating in historic losses up-and-down the ballot... well we’re getting ahead of ourselves aren’t we. | |

Barack Obama: Clinton went high | |
Just like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. @HillaryClinton went high and showed why she'll be a POTUS for all Americans. | |
After Trump listed accusations of assault against Bill Clinton at the debate last night, Hillary Clinton quoted a line from Michelle Obama in her speech at the DNC convention (the first lady has also used the line on the stump), which the Clinton campaign also tweeted before the debate: | |
Remember. #Debate pic.twitter.com/rlMbTt5WwY | |
At the debate Trump replied to Clinton by saying that Michelle Obama had made nasty ads against Clinton in the 2008 campaign. Fact check: wrong-o: | |
Just for record, there were no ads in which @MichelleObama attacked @HillaryClinton. I know. I was there. #debates | |
