Despite harsh reviews, Donald Trump resists new debate approach

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Unmoved by harsh debate reviews, a defiant Donald Trump renewed his attacks against a former Miss Universe winner on Wednesday, showing no sign of making big changes to his message or debate preparation before his second face-off with Hillary Clinton. The outspoken Republican nominee instead pressed ahead with an aggressive strategy focused on speaking directly to his white, working-class loyalists across the Midwest. Democrat Clinton, meanwhile, pushed to improve her standing among younger voters with the help of the president,…

Bob Sparks: Is Team Bondi ready for battle?

in Statewide by

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi is reluctantly moving onstage in the 2016 presidential campaign. With the national polls tightening between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, her advocates are looking for ways to change the narrative. Who can blame them? With the drip, drip, drip of damaging revelations surrounding the email investigation and foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation, they need to spin the story that Trump and his foundation also behave badly. Trump University is that opportunity. The Clinton side…

Diane Roberts: Donald Trump feels presidency is ‘man’s job’

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Hillary Clinton is sick. Important white men-types, such as Rudy Giuliani, Sean Hannity, and Donald Trump, say so. She sits down at some of her campaign appearances — ON A STOOL! Or with a PILLOW BEHIND HER BACK! Clearly, her spine is disintegrating before our very eyes. She has Parkinson’s. A blood clot. A brain tumor. She has no stamina. She’s feeble.

Joe Henderson: After RNC day one — just not feeling it

in 2017/Top Headlines by

If Democrats could have scripted the first day of the Republican National Convention, it would have looked a lot like the show on display Monday in Cleveland. Start with the downbeat tone that basically told America their world is approaching the last exit on the highway to hell. Or, put another way, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE IF HILLARY IS ELECTED!!! Yeah, these are people I want to hang out with. Throw in the floor fight by the #NeverTrump…

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

If you’re a reporter, you didn’t have to be in Jacksonville yesterday to learn the details of Governor Rick Scott‘s $79 billion budget. That’s because the governor’s press office helpfully sent out email after email to highlight aspects of the vast budget throughout the day, where the highlights include $1 billion in tax cuts and cutting 863 state jobs. There’s been a lot of news from Tallahassee of late, because the Legislature will convene for the 2016 session in less than…
