Quiet, calm August suits Clinton just fine

The Republican nominee’s constant state of campaign chaos is dulling the impact of stories about Clinton’s emails and allowing her to spend plenty of time raising money behind closed doors.

Clinton campaigned in Ohio and Pennsylvania this past week, and the Democratic nominee’s voter registration efforts and policy pitches went largely unnoticed as Trump shook up his campaign staff.

“Donald Trump never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity,” said Whit Ayres, a GOP pollster who worked for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio’s presidential campaign.



Since the bus tour that followed the end of the Democratic convention, Clinton also has focused heavily on fundraising.
