Clinton Allies Ready to Respond to Trump’s Speech

“Seeking to refocus his presidential campaign, Donald Trump will lambaste Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as a failed secretary of state who is out of step with Americans on trade and immigration,” the AP reports.

Politico: “A constellation of groups in the presumptive Democratic nominee’s political orbit is prepping a wide-ranging response to Trump’s downtown Manhattan speech — originally slated for New Hampshire last week before getting postponed following the Orlando mass shooting — that will include a series of memos, rapid response releases, and calculated silences designed to paint the Republican as both corrupt and a peddler of conspiracy theories.”

“Recalling Trump’s relative silence when Clinton attacked him in her first dedicated anti-Trump speech in San Diego earlier this month — they hope it will paint the picture of a prepared campaign squaring off against a floundering one.”
