Donald Trump responded to new allegations of sexual assault by stepping up his tour of angry rebuttals and threats Thursday, blaming a cabal of media, special interests and Hillary Clinton 's machine for trying to destroy his reputation in order to maintain their grip on power. Trump cast himself as a martyr, "taking the slings and arrows, gladly, for you," as a reprisal for turning against a rigged system in which he once thrived.

The final minutes of the first presidential debate last Monday night were marked by a startling shift to a 20-year-old story as Hillary Clinton ambushed Donald Trump with an accusation designed to make him unacceptable to women. Despite Lester Holt's efforts to help her, Clinton had lost the early parts of the debate on big issues--jobs, trade, taxes, law and order, etc.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a top ally of Donald Trump, criticized the GOP nominee Friday night for his overnight Twitter rampage against Hillary Clinton and her campaign. "You can't tweet at 3 o'clock in the morning.
"Selma" director Ava DuVernay's new documentary traces societal attitudes and laws from era of Jim Crow to today's "prison industrial complex." "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Newt Gingrich has some advice for Donald Trump: don't bring up Bill Clinton's past marital infidelities in the next presidential debate. "You're never going to beat the Clintons in the mud.
Chris Wallace's Fox News Sunday addressed the appearance of Donald Trump on Larry King's show which airs on Russia Today, which is, like it or not, owned by Vladimir Putin. Coming to his defense, like a good lapdog, is the embarrassingly disgraced former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich who has expressed great interest in becoming a pivotal member of Trump's cabinet.
Donald Trump's turbulent summer has been shadowed by a nagging question: Does the Republican nominee actually want to win the presidency? He moved to steady his struggling campaign with a late-in-the-game staff shakeup, replacing controversial campaign chair Paul Manafort with a veteran pollster and a conservative media executive who shares his populist views. He delivered a series of more formal speeches, unheard of for a candidate who prefers unscripted rallies.
To Republicans who hope to emerge from the Donald Trump fiasco with any shred of political viability or self-respect, I offer some unsolicited advice: Run, do not walk, to the nearest exit. I'm speaking to you, House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Newt Gingrich says that "of course" GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's economic plan doesn't add up, adding that historically, no candidate's numbers do. The ex-House speaker and presidential candidate was responding to a question on FOX News on Sunday about whether Trump's plan to slash corporate and other taxes was economically sound.
Donald Trump, the man who defied every political rule and prevailed to win his party's nomination, last week took on perhaps the most sacred political rule of all: Never attack a Gold Star family.

WASHINGTON >> Their party in crisis, Republicans' frustration with Donald Trump reached new heights on Wednesday as GOP leaders inside and outside the presidential nominee's campaign contemplated new ways to persuade him to moderate his divisive tactics with the election just 96 days away. Party chairman Reince Priebus and a handful of other high-profile Republicans were considering whether to directly confront the billionaire businessman following a series of startling stances and statements.
It was hard to imagine that Bill Clinton could make as powerful a speech on behalf of his wife as he did on behalf of Barack Obama four years ago. Advocating Obama's re-election required an extended argument about public policy, a persuasive mobilization of facts and figures, and a series of pokes at the Republican Party.
To gauge the opportunism and hypocrisy that define Donald Trump's Republican Party, consider this: Imagine the scalding rhetoric that would have boiled from the likes of Newt Gingrich, that Metternich of many green rooms, if Hillary Clinton had offhandedly undermined the collective security architecture of U.S. foreign policy since NATO was created in 1949. Vladimir Putin's regime is saturating Europe with anti-Americanism, buying print and broadcast media, pliable journalists and other opinion leaders, and funding fringe political parties, think tanks and cultural institutions.
