Hillary Clinton is struggling despite Trump's woes

Rush Limbaugh:
...
... This is CNN's New Day this morning, the first sound bite, and they're worried that Hillary Clinton... It's all about their own poll, and they're worried if Hillary can't pull away now when Trump seems disorganized and the Republicans are organizing maybe a mutiny for their own convention... If Hillary can't pull away now, what does it say about her?

BASH: Trump was just doing an interview that I was watching where he was saying just that. You know, and normally I would just say, "Okay, that's just candidate spin." But he's right. I mean, he has had about the worst few weeks that you can imagine for a general election candidate for a whole host of reasons. The fact that he's only five points down I don't necessarily think shows his strengths as much as it shows his opponent's weakness, one that Republicans don't think that he is taking advantage of enough.

RUSH: Well, and they've got a point. Look, they've got a point. Trump should have been hammering Hillary on that inspectors general report. Instead of going after "the Mexican judge," he should have been hammering her on that and there a couple other topics. He's out there tweeting like mad today on her speech. I think those tweets could be better. If I were sitting next to him, his tweets would have been much better. But I'm not sitting next to him. His tweets are okay. You wouldn't find any Republican out there saying what he's saying, and it's a good thing that he's doing it.
...
She should be pulling way and she is not.  I think she is wasting money on trying to drive up Trump's negatives.  They are already worse than any candidate who has run in recent years, and she is not going to change the mind of the Trump loyalists.  She is squandering her financial advantage while Trump is struggling with raising money for the campaign.  He gives speeches in New York, where he lives and tweets responses to her speech in real time.  It is unconventional, but it is who he is.

This is happening as the news is just breaking on the hacking of the Clinton Foundation and release of materials on her out of touch speaking gigs.  Those are likely to steal some of the headlines she hoped to get from her speech critical of Trump's economic plan.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
