Dead soldiers, young mothers, little babies, foreign leaders, probing journalists, Muslims, Mexicans, political adversaries, fellow Republicans...is there anyone Donald Trump has NOT insulted/offended/twitted etc? One of the great mysteries of the US Presidential elections in 2016 is how the maverick billionaire Presidential nominee of the Republican Party is still in the race after offending multitudes and committing gaffes that would have destroyed a lesser candidate. Al Gore lost an election because of a condescending eye-roll, Gary Hart blew it on account of some monkey business, Michael Dukakis didn't recover from a cold response to a question about rape, and a sweaty Richard Nixon melted down in the heat of the television studio.

Bill Clinton's history of speeches at the Democratic National Convention has been like his political career, a series of ups and downs, where the former president has played the role of validator, acceptor and character witness. The 42nd commander in chief has been allotted most of the 10 p.m. prime-time hour Tuesday night and Clinton aides expect him to speak for over 45 minutes.
WTOL anchor Jerry Anderson interviewed Democratic Party Spokesman and Lucas County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz to get a Democratic insider's view of the DNC in Philadelphia. JA : A week ago today, you had to be frothing at the mouth and high-fiving with all that rancor on the floor in Cleveland.
Donald Trump comes out of his convention ahead of Hillary Clinton in the race for the White House, topping her 44% to 39% in a four-way matchup including Gary Johnson and Jill Stein and by three points in a two-way head-to-head, 48% to 45%.
